So this is good then? I wasn't sure.
I've been doing the low carb, low fat, low sugar, low salt thing since day one. No fizzy drinks, no chocolate, no butter. Hardly any bread or potatoes and only a little pasta and rice. No frying, very little meat or fruit but lots of veg. No alcohol, but lots of tea and water. I walk everywhere. I'm a lot less stressed here at home than in London, I'm sure that helps. I think the real test will come when the novelty wears off and I get tempted to fall off the wagon.
The diet today:
Breakfast, 50gms oatmeal, 150 ml milk (1% semi-skimmed) S&P. Tea with milk. Pill.
Lunch, 300mls soup. Tea.
Dinner, seafood korma with a little rice (no naan
), around 500gms. Tea. Pills.
Snack, a muesli bar with nuts and cranberries, tea, water.
I'm not doing calories, or actually measuring carbs but I am testing at least four times a day and reading the labels on everything I buy.
