Endocrinologist says 120g total carb. is the upper limit. 50g of carb per meal no more than 30 for snacks. It's a tall order, but I will get there. It doesn't matter that it's complex or net or otherwise. She says cheat days r every 2 weeks not every 2 days. Bummer. : ( I explained to my nutritionist that moderation has a different meaning for me. She says to don't touch the nuts ; p. I miss walnuts with my breakfast or snack. I will negotiate and split the difference. I traded Doritos for 100 calorie Skinny popcorn. I need to get use to this new normal first before they tell more.. I miss half & half, coffeemate the most. Hanging in there with Planet Oatmilk which gives a closer mouth feel of creamy coffee. Tried almond milk for a year. Gave up on it. Used to drink coffee black, but it was too acidic. Tomorrow is a followup with the PCP says careful with my fat intake due to fatty liver. I really like my Drs. but they told me my numbers were unacceptable. It was tough to hear. I know they are right. So I'm going to follow their lead, otherwise I'm just wasting time. Keep glucose under 100 post meal. Now at 108. Would luv to get my hands on CGM to figure out how certain food affects me. Fruit makes me more hungry. I miss grapefruit and watermelon. Both high fructose content even though it's a whole food. Guess I'll have to learn to eat a 1/4 of a giant pink grapefruit not a 1/2 in a single sitting.
Happy these past weeks' high yield harvest of cukes I'm enjoying paper thin slices and cucumber sandwiches on Pullman bread, It's the ex-brit colonist in me. Next up, watercress sandwiches and soups. yum. Next shopping trip, I'm treating myself to Salmon. Not the wild caught. The yummy fatty not as good for you farm raised kind : p I'm still in the planning and starting phase. I am no longer rebellious with behaviors that are not good for me. I have been staying away from steak & eggs as a treat. I feel cleaner when I eat less red or white meat.
Once the temps drop below 70 's I can start cooking curries again.
Challenge is to take old favorites and make them less than caloric and healthful.
I'm sorry, just not ready for chia pudding as breakfast. It can be part of a 3 course meal. not a single course b'fast.
