Do you watch your fat intake?
I am so confused about so many different diets...it's making me crazy.
I have been following Atkins faithfully for 3 months now...and have lost 5 lbs....yes that is only 5 lbs.
CALP is making sense to me, about the artificial sweeteners causing insulin surges (which I know is a problem)....I had a 3 hour glucose test in January and am borderline diabetic. My fasting blood sugar is normal, but when I have sweets, especially liquid sweets (pop), I go just slightly above normal...but at 3 hours I crashed and was hypoglycemic.
Anyway...tonight I decided to have a RM. After having only eggs with cheddar for breakfast. Turkey with vegetables for lunch, a small handful of peanuts for snack, then veal chop and caesar salad no croutons for dinner, then an apple fritter donut for dessert.
Anyway...my curiosity is fat. Do you watch your fat intake as well? As Dr Atkins said high saturated fat is ok as long as you don't have carbs, but with the RM idea, should you have low sat fat all day?
Thanks!
