Today starts Week 2 on IF and was WI day. I lost 1.6 lbs this week which makes a 2 lb loss so far this month. I am grateful for the loss because I wasn't sure I was going to even lose anything yet. I check FBS 2x a day once when I get up and again just before I eat. It was 137 first time and 123 at noon before I had my lowcarb breakfast.
Carol Sue I decided to look up and read DietDoctor.com again. He has a thread on there called New|DietDoctor.com and for newbies to lowcarbing since there are so many plans out there.
He explains that Strict LCHF is <20 g a day, Moderate LCHF is 20 - 50 g a day, and Liberal LCHF is 50 to 100 g a day.
He said you can start out doing one of them and write down what you eat to see which one works for you. He explains also what some people eat, like some eat protein and small amount of veggies, and some eat a certain grains which he also gives list of which fruits, dairy and grains are the best to eat depending on the amount carb plan you are on. If you remember this is the doctor in Sweden. Sweden has now been using the lowcarb way of eating since 2008. I found it interesting that he has a thing on there saying that the Pope has been told by his doctor to eat less pasta and he he is eating lowcarb. You may want to check it out again. I know since I want to eat a more moderate to liberal LCHF plan that I will be using his guidelines on Trish's plan.
DH has a doctor's appt today to set up when to do his colonoscopy and endoscopy. Besides wanting to keep my 8 hr window close earlier, I also know that we probably won't be eating until around 4:30 or 5 so I ate breakfast at noon. I'm in the mood for LCarb today so I started with a LCHF breakfast hoping I can eat either a LCHF dinner. If not it will turn out to be a CAD day for me. They now make a CO spray. I love that because I like using a spray to cook my eggs in because it doesn't splatter all over my stove top.
Have a good day.
