Hey , can anyone simplify this for me.
I started a low carb diet about 10 days ago and have been reading up on it trying to incorporate various plans into something that would work well for me.
I was a carb addict but only about 15 pounds over weight which had been impossible to shed before now. I haven't weighed myself (no scale) but I know I've already lost a few pounds .
My problem isn't so much going without the carbs as it seem I'm having difficulty finding time to fix salad and other allowable foods in proportions to consider it a meal. I have 4 kids that I cook for and of course I can;t eat any of it so I find myself grabbing a low carb shake (4grams of carbs) and forgetting the meal because I'm out of food prep time or sick of beinghungry and need to put something in my stomach. The other thing is I've accidently eaten things like whole avacodo's(instead of half) and apples or peas that I thought were healthy food , only to read that these weren't. I've pretty much survived on chicken, ham, eggs(omletes with cheese and bacon),unsweetened hot herbal teas, water and leafy green salads(ceasar dressing I wonder if that's allowed)meats, mushrooms, spinach , squash and zuccini. I haven't had breads , pastas of anykind or really anything else but I get almost sick In the evening.
I think I need to eat more carbs but I'm afraid to ruin what I accomplished during the day.
Salads are easy because i can order then for take out and they aren't so expensive as say a steak to go.
I quess I'm wondering if something has low carbs but also contain a few sugar grams am I ruining anything?
Such as , I had a cup of coffee and added vanilla soymilk , about a tablespoon or two. It has about 4 carbs and 3 sugars. Is that considered like blowing a day of dieting???
HELP. Plus I need a good vitamin or a suggestion for what viatims I should take.
Please Help so I can continue this without passing out in the evening.
