NON LOW CARB SUCCESS STORIES at DCUK


Sarah69Yesterday, 11:25 pm

"I'm on insulin so can adjust that to the carbs I eat. I know I could not eat a low carb diet I don't know how people eat the same things every day eg, salad veg and fruit. I'm not a great lover of any of that. I tried it once had salad twice in 1 week and I couldn't eat it again. I like what I like and that's it"

Can’t argue with that. As non low carb success stories go that’s as good as gets !!

    120 carbs was frowned upon once upon a time on DCUK and you could not be a low carber using that amount. Ask Edie, he will tell you.

    Sorry sunshine you must have got the wrong blog no one with that name here.
    Suggest you try carbo/tubs blog but beware of flying dummies.

    Hi Claire, 90-130g is considered liberal Low Carb in Fergus's excellent
    LOW CARB DIET - A NEWBIES GUIDE

    "Low carb (ketogenic) 0-50g carbohydrate per day
    Typical low carb 50-90g
    Liberal low carb 90-130g
    Moderate carbs 130-170g
    High carb 170g plus a day"

    So will my meter readings tell me how low carb a threshold is safe for me, or is there a figure I should try to aim for? I am Type 2 diet and metformin.

    Your meter is your friend Claire and is the only way to determine a safe level of carbs, a good site for all you need to know about testing is Jenny Ruhl's blood sugar 101.http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/
