Low Carb Diet Anyone?
just read a book by dr. bernstein about how diabetics should eat a low or no carb diet. I've slowly been adjusting my diet. omelets in the morning, sugar free jello for snack and chili with a side of chicken breast or skirt steak with greens for dinner. pizza once a week. no rice, bread, potatoes, pasta, crackers, chips or sugar free cookies. my sugar is low to the point of not needing insulin and i've lost a few pounds already.
was wondering if anyone else is on a low carb diet and what other types of meals could be added to the diet.
thanks for the chili ideas ferd.

Check out www.marksdailyapple.com. It's kind of a "primal blueprint" deal, but he's a strong advocate of eliminating any empty carbs.....has a free E-book, and even some reader cookbooks for free.....

I've been keeping my calorie intake at 1600 or less, and my trainer said that was good, but that I also needed to watch the fat, sugar and sodium intake. I ignored her. 
I watch my calories, limit sugar and try to make the fats healthy--beyond that, I don't worry about it. I think I'm more along the lines of "eating clean." I skip the fried, sugary, refined, processed and junk foods, and I've been working out with a trainer 3x a week. I've dropped about 12 lbs. since August 1st. I can't handle a low-carb diet. I try to make sure I eat healthy carbs instead. However, since carbs are generally high in calories, limiting calories means having smaller portions of carbs. I suppose it works out in the end....
I've had multiple people in my family go on the low-carb diet and lose weight really fast, but they all seem to gain it back eventually. I'm trying not to take any shortcuts. I just want to be healthier and more energetic! (And fit into a size 6 again!!!!! )
