first thing, walnuts
morning meal three boiled eggs, half a tomato and green salad Olive oil and vinegar dressing
A cup of coffee
evening meal shrimps and green salad olive oil and vinegar dressing.
My lists seem ever so simple.
I have been doing low carb for a very long time - and I am at very low levels - about 15 gm a day maybe Previously unknown territory for me, but I am going to push myself into ketosis and remain there for as long as it takes to restore normality.
