Started my day with food doctor seeded porridge, with Tescos breakfast prunes (will get my inners moving) with wee bit sweet freedom
Persimmon as a snack - so yummy
Need to sort my head out a bit - reading books about stuff is good but then I need to figure out what works for me..
I want to keep oats and alternative grain flours
Not so keen on almond flour - texture wise
Chestnut flour is ok, but notice that my body retains "weight" after eating it, which it hasn't when eating quinoa flour.
Great snacks;
Nuts/ seeds
Small amounts fruit as snacks
Nakd bars and food doctor bars
Plain yogurt with berries, flaxseed mix & small handful granola
Eggs are great any time
Lean meats mostly, but have no issues with gluten free quality sausages.
No rice, pasta, wheat products (if it can be helped). I will include dried/ canned (not in sauce) chickpeas, beans, lentils
Dairy, skimmed milk, LF plain yogurt (managed to give up fruit/sugared yogurts),
wee bit cream/ plain vanilla ice cream now and again, not every day/ week
Dinner want to be mainly meat and veg - not any obvious high carb items like potatoes/ chickpeas/ beans etc leave those for lunch.
Dark chocolate - still eat too much of it - but decided not giving it up but will learn to eat less of it.
Diet coke - still have it, but limit amounts
Water 2-3 litres a day
No eating any thing else after dinner/ 8pm
So still more low GI and mod carbs, I think if you do low low carbs you need the high fats, but if you can't keep your carbs low then you need to reduce the amount of fats to a mod amount. I have not reached the point that I can eat low low carb (yet) I am not sure if I ever will - but eating mod carbs, and avoiding wheat, rice, and potatoes (most of the time) - I can do
