[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 174289, member: 31282"] I agree with Patch. I aim for about 30g of carb a day, sometimes stray up to around 50g. I don't worry about natural (ie unprocessed) fats at all, but base my diet on the Atkins Induction phase, which gives about 25g and saves all that counting. My version of it is posted on the Low-Carb Forum as Viv's Diet. If you can tolerate fat it's great, and it really works for me. You only have to check carbs if you go outside the guidelines. Did you know that pork fat is about one third polyunsaturated? beef is a little lower, but they are by no means the death-traps some people would have you believe. If you can afford organic, so much the better. Unfortunately if you have insulin resistance your weight loss will be slower, but persevere - as your weight comes down the insulin resistance will weaken, or so I'm told. If you do lapse on the odd occasion, don't beat yourself up - put it behind you and carry on. We're only human, after all. :D Viv I agree about the bread too! though I have a friend who makes small organic wholemeal seeded loaves, of which I have 2 in the freezer. I haven't tried her bread since I started testing, but I shall one day - I'm not giving those away! :lol: [/QUOTE]
