[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 176559"] The more I read on here then the more confused I get as to what constitutes a low carb diet. Since diagnosis, I have lowered my carb intake to a level that suits me and which my meter agrees with. I have never counted the carbs but relied on a portion size that suits me. I did count them a couple of times and came up with 90 and 110 for a whole day's worth. I keep hearing, "I am a low carber" but what does that actually mean? I have reduced my carbs since diagnosis but I do not call myself a low carber. Some "low carbers" do not eat any starchy carbs, rice pasta, potatoes, cereals, bread, and yet others do. Some don't eat fruit, some do. Some don't eat tomatoes or root vegetables but others do. Is it just a general term or are there a set of rules? There are some definitions on the forum but it is only opinions, nothing seems to be written in stone. Let's hear from members who "low carb" what they actually mean. Do they mean they have lowered their carb levels or do they follow a specific low carb plan? [/QUOTE]
