Starting low carb diet need suggestions

[skinnygirl 1]

I have decided to try the low carb diet. Are any of you guys doing low carbs? If so can you tell me some of the ggod Snacks or some of what you are having? what is a good amount of net carbs?

I started off doing South Beach Diet. You may want to read up on it. Now I just cut out breads, rices, etc. Though at times I will have a thin slice of bread.< /span>

I eat a lot of cheese, vegetables. Salads have become a wonder food for me, but if you have a fill you may have issues with salads.

I usually eat about 30-40 carbs a day, but at times I stay below 30. I'd say no more than 45 a day, but you may want to consult your nutritionist. You'll find a lot of low carb recipes online.

It really depends on how tight you are. Sometimes I have issues eating scrambled eggs, but most times I go slow

For Snacks I like deviled eggs, pepperoni, ham and cheese rollups.

Preband I was trying for low-mid carb diet. As a treat though I would toast a piece of bakery bread and use benecol spread. Crunchy and salty yum. I did'nt have it every day but since I was having a lot of Protein Shakes that are sweet it was a nice to have the saltiness. In my experience when I was dieting making something "off limits forever" only made me want it more. Finding a compromise (one slice and not 2-3) makes me feel in control.

Carbs are good for you! They give you energy! Didn't you do enough dieting before being banded?
