[QUOTE="Finzi, post: 357177, member: 56231"] MrsPortion In realistic terms (the only way to count carbs properly is to buy a carb counting book and just do it, by making a note of everything you eat, the portion size, and how many carbs are in it) 50g and under of carbs is quite low, and you would achieve it by not really eating anything "obviously" carby - there's not much room in 50g to be regularly having cereals, bread, fruit, pasta, rice or potatoes, or sugary desserts or chocolate. Bread is about 20g per slice, a bowl of cereal 25-30g, a glass of orange juice about 25g, a bar of chocolate about 25g, an apple about 14g, a portion of pasta about 40g. However, unprocessed meat and fish is virtually carb free, so is butter and oil, full fat Greek yoghurt is 3.5g per 100g, vegetables that grow above the ground are low carb, some fruit is ok (not all), seeds and nuts are ok, cheese is almost all very low carb, so is salad. You can eat a very healthy and satisfying diet cutting right down on carbs and eating everything else. Type 2 on Metformin, diagnosed Jan 2013, ultra low carber, Hba1C at diagnosis 8% (64), average BS now between 5 and 6 mmol. [/QUOTE]
