Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 The ones that follow a low-carb diet, Dr Berstein's is it. He allows only 30 or 40 carbs a day??? HOW is that possible, would you give me an example of what you would eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner??AND especially a snack?? Why I can't imagine finding good food to satisfy ones appetite with so little to choose from, maybe it is because I am new and really do not know that much about so many different choices out there. In a class I went to, they said the same to me as MIKE has stated but they told me I was allowed 17 units with each being 15 carbs each, of course that is alot, I have been aiming all week for 100 and I go over or under that most of the time. Thank you for educating me. " TLC " Joyce Quote
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Let me tell you i did Atkins at one time lost 21 pounds and had the lowest A1C1 of my diabetic history!! Could not live on it though .So am on Dr. B. Here are some ideas of what I do. Breakfast lc crackers with cream cheese, eggs and half a toast or half a toast with PB. Snack string cheese, lunch chicken salad, shrimp salad, egg salad with one slice of bread(10 carbs) veggies, or instead of bread two low carb crackers and cream cheese with maybe a cup of tomato soup. Snack: pistachio nuts, or mini bell lf cheese, Dinner fish , a veggie, or some kind of chicken dish dont eat a lot of beef as it is calorie dense except for a pork chop now and then. Evening snack a few strawberries or blueberries, lc vanilla yougurt with walnuts, or couple of triscuts with lf mini bell cheese or ham slice dabbed with mustard and rolled up and maybe a couple of triscuits, home made popsicles, cup of Hoods chocolate milk or Hoods lc milk, or cream cheese into which I mixed sf jam and eat on lc cracker, or cream cheese I add a tiny bit of cream too and microwave and add some davinci syrup (to me tastes like cheese cake) My latest snack is to take a piece of American cheese cut into fourths then fold each fourth in half and microwave taste like cheese nips. I make some of these to take on the road with me . Hope this helps you. Quote
