Subject: I am new at this.

I have eaten low carb for a week now. First three days only ate three times a day and watched fat fall off.
Got ketone sticks and tested up at the highest end of scale but felt a bit yuk the third day.
The last four days I have eaten when I am hungry and until I am satisfied which is usually four times a day .
I have had one or two teaspoons of sugar per day in the morning and dont seem to have lost any more
but am still at the moderate range on the ketone sticks. Am I doing this wrong.? should I only eat 3
times a day. I have been eating only steak, chicken, eggs, cheese and nuts and the odd capsicum.
Lunch today was a camembert cheese and a capsicum. Should I never have any sugar at all.?
I also have cream in my coffee and no milk. Seems weird I only looked thinner the first three days.

Ummm have you read any of the LC books?? You're still eating sugar?? My goodness, why??? (NT) -- Kel, 04:45:10 06/15/02 Sat
Cynthia,,, No,, no sugar at all in its refined form. Instead get your carbohydrates from salad and green veggies. (NT) -- Nancy, 07:22:57 06/15/02 Sat
Welcome Cynthia! I agree VEGGIES are missing big time from you daily intake and elimiate that Sugar. Read the book or go to some sites that give info on how to LC! (NT) -- Sarah, 09:18:00 06/15/02 Sat
One teaspoon sugar has 15 calories and 4 carbs. (NT) -- Daddy Bill, 10:19:03 06/15/02 Sat
- And don't forget that it processes into fat faster than any other carb! (NT) -- Kel, 10:44:35 06/15/02 Sat
Eat as often as you are hungry. Don't go longer than 5-6 hours between meals. If you are hungry, you should eat. If you are starving, you should have eaten an hour ago! Add some salads/veggies. Skip the nuts during induction. Get one of the books and read it, it will help a LOT. (NT) -- Katie, 11:02:26 06/17/02 Mon
