After posting about not being able to eat much, I decided to see if I could make my diet as appealing as possible, with minimum carbs. The problem is, I am still not sure what constitutes a health low carb diet. So I am asking all who have got a much better grasp of this than I if I am doing things right.
Yesterday, as usual I couldn't face breakfast or lunch, for dinner I had a chicken salad with green leaves, cucumber, spring onions, cherry tomato's, sprinkled with sunflower seeds and mixed seeds, dressed in a very simple oil and vinegar dressing, and two hard boiled eggs.I also add some cubed feta cheese. For supper I had a slice of burgen bread, with benecol spread and peanut butter. Through the day I drink Earl Grey tea, with Flora pro activ milk.
Today, no breakfast or lunch, dinner, grilled pork chops, grilled steak medallions, grilled bacon, grilled sausages, fried egg (2) and fried mushrooms. For supper I have either a sugar free jelly, or a slice of Burgen bread with benecol spread and peanut butter, or sometimes Philadelphia cheese and chives.
I consider that to be very low carb, I can at least manage to eat dinner made up of all meat or chicken salad. Can someone help me work out if my calculations are right? My BG is going down really well, and even after meals is good. Yesterday before dinner I was 6.2 two hours later 6.3. Today my readings so far are all in the 5's.
Opinions and advice please
