Hello everyone,
My name is Andrea and I am very new to the world of low carb diets. I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and I have found I am just stumbling through this low carb diet and I need some direction.
My doctor has said no more than 30 carbs per meal so I assume that is 90 carbs per day and it can be broken out into breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner and snack but I don't know for sure.
I have started reading the book Life Without Bread and I understand the concept of thing but what I don't understand is how much of what food group I should I have. I have read that most lean meats and cheese have no carbs so I can have unlimited amounts each mean, what I don't understand is how to fit in fruits, veggies, grains, nuts, etc. and how much of each I am supposed to have. I hear the non-starchy veggies I can pretty much have unlimited to?
Can anyone help me? And another thing that makes this challenging is I don't like most veggies, although I keep trying some things hoping it would get better.
Any help would be appreciated.
Andrea
