Hi!

I'm very new to MFP, and would love to make some friends who are also following a lower carb way of eating. I'd love to creep your diaries to get an idea of how others are eating....

Any takers?

My diary is open for your perusal :)


A little about me: I am a busy full time working mom of a 2.5 year old girl. I love to cook and eat and am trying to figure out how to do that and not be a chunker. :)

    Hey everyone! :bigsmile:
    I am on a low carb diet plan! And I have an open diary! :D
    Anyone feel free to add me! :flowerforyou:
    I believe having friends to motivate you and a shoulder to lean on when it gets tough is always great to have!
    Good luck to everyone in reaching their goals! :drinker:

    My food dairy won't reflect it this week but I generally stay under 50g of carbs per day. All carbs generally come from fruits and vegetables. Feel free to add me!

    anyone can add me :) I'm 60f/30p/10c roughly with my macros for insulin resistance and PCOS. My carbs come from veggies mainly. Open diary, and while I'm not a 100% clean eater, I don't think I do that badly ;) I'm just a normal working mom of 5 who slowly got fat through pregnancies and not understanding how fat works really. I know better now :)

    Thank you so much all! I too get my carbs from veggies, some fruit and beans. I love healthy food but had fallen into the fast food trap with my current job keeping me on the road all of the time. Trying to pack a cooler each morning to keep myself on track with healthy lunches, eat breakfast at home and no more sugary coffee drinks. I've also cut out diet soda, which is tough because I adore my Coke Zero. I just have to commit to waking up earlier to work out, get myself ready and food packed before the little one wakes. 5AM, ugh!

    Hi! I'm doing a plan that's not drastically low carb, but does require limited carbs. I have pcos and insulin resistance so I am trying to follow the Insulin Resistance Diet which is generally 45% carbs / 25% fat / 30% protein and requires pairing proteins with carbs. I'd love to find more friends that are limiting carbs.

    I follow LCHF and get the majority of my carbs from vegetables, nuts and some dairy. Very limited fruits and legumes. No grains. My diary is open.

    I'm low carbin' it! My carbs come mostly from veggies. Well I'm not really low carb, I'm more "appropriate portions"...but trust me, I'm the carb queen, so if I can make under 100g of carbs a day, that's amazing :) I'll add ya!


    Edit to add, I have absolutely no dairy (casein intolerance)...i get my calcium, vitamin D and magnesium from soy cheese and a women's one a day multivitamin.
