Hi Julie and Welcome

What is the tsp diet?

TSP is The Schwartzbien Principle diet. It is a very balanced, lower carb way of eating. I am reading her books and what she has to say makes alot of sense to me. I have just started but I have heard other people say how remarkable they feel after following her diet. I can't wait to start feeling better and having more energy.

Welcome!!!!

Ok, thanks Ruthxxx I believe is on the same one here, but she is on holidays, we expect her back anyday now

Welcome Julieboo!

I'm back! Teaspoons would do it!

Welcome to the LC Forum! Lots of good stuff here!

I am not strictly following either Schwartzbein of Bernstein - just lowering carbs to get my blood sugars in control. Schwartzbein recommends 60 grams of carbs per day while Dr. B says 30 max! I find I am in "normal" range when I stick to 30-60 grams per day and about 1300 calories.
Hang out with us, Julie!
