[QUOTE="LucySW, post: 762374, member: 113749"] Low low carb is 30grams a day. That's what I do. Some do well on 50g (Smidge, I think). You try it out for yourself. Those 30g are made up, for me, of lots and lots of green veg and salad, plus some berries sometimes. A large helping of green veg or a plate of salad is about 6g. All veg except parsnips, swedes, sweet root veg are good. And I eat generously of meat, chicken, fish and eggs. And lots of butter, cream, olive oil. It's that that fills me up and makes me not hungry. LCHF doesn't have to be a high protein diet. I gave up rice, pasta, bread, potatoes and basically all desserts but berries and cream. I didn't want to eat them - I saw them as toxic, which in fact they were. All those foods you're having to cover with insulin at the moment. Without them and with only really, REALLY healthy green veg, your insulin doses will drop. So they'll be so much easier to manage! Think about it. And see the Jenny Ruhl nutritional calculator on the Diet page of her website. [URL]http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/33614154.php[/URL] Lucy [/QUOTE]
