Looking for Low Carb Buddies and Recipes

agrube1968 · February 2018

After having a scare with my blood sugar I have decided to follow the low carb diet. I am keeping my carbs between 25-50 per day trying to stay on the lower end if possible. I have lost 4.9 lbs in 2 days so far and my sugar has went from 188 down to 122! (The scare was when I had a urine test and my glucose level came back over 1,000!!! The highest its been tho thru finger stick is 188).

I am looking for others who are doing low carb to help keep me motivated as well as share recipes. I am a pretty picky eater and don't like hardly any vegetables. I can do salads along with the meat and stuff like that just need some recipes to help keep me from getting bored! Feel free to add me as a friend so we can motivate each other!

I have found that I feel so much better on low carb. I'D love to do this with you.

agrube1968 · February 2018

Awesome!

You can add me if you'd like. I am doing Keto, with only 18g of carbs per day, trying not to get more than 25 for sure. I am low carb because I have PCOS and I have found that I feel better doing LC as well, once I get over the carb/sugar withdrawals.

Feel free to add me too! I'm new at this and i would need some ideas what to eat

so far i love it. Lost 3kg in one week

melinda_m2017 · February 2018

Feel free to add me too. I am keeping my carbs at 20 or below. Feeling so much better.

I don't eat low carb, but just wanted to pop in to encourage you and tell you that if you're planning to lose weight and maintaining the loss, expect a long term decrease in your blood sugar medications! I went from nearly diabetic to normal - in fact that was the one reason I started dieting and that was my scare. I look at the scare I had as something good, because I wouldn't have lost weight without it and wouldn't have kept getting up every time I fell down. Stay positive and work hard on discovering what is sustainable to you!

What do you like to eat? When I discovered my blood sugar was a bit high I lowered my carbs to 150 g, I wasn't diabetic yet so I didn't need to lower it further. I no longer eat that low, but I still have a few recipes that would easily fit the limit you chose.

mollycanine · February 2018

I've been low carb for 5 1/2 years now. If you're on Facebook, there are several low carb groups that have lots of great recipes. But I have a lot of good recipes I'd be willing to share as well. What are you looking for? Feel free to add me and I'll help you any way I can. This WOE has been the only thing that ever worked for me long term.

Here is a quick and easy snack:

Turkey Sushi

12 servings

Ingredients:
12 slices roast deli turkey (about 10 g each)
60 grams mayo or any low carb dressing
12 slices provolone cheese (about 300 g)
12 thin slices tomato (one large tomato about 180 g)
1 cup arugula, micro salad greens, or torn lettuce leaves of choice

Directions
Place a slice of turkey on a work surface. Spread 5 grams (about a teaspoon) of mayo or dressing on the turkey. Top with a slice of provolone cheese and then a slice of tomato. Arrange the greens across the top of the tomato.
Starting at the end closest to you, roll it up like a sushi roll and slice into sushi pieces. Store leftovers seam down in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Here are is the info for one slice of turkey of the size I used (makes 3-4 sushi pieces). You can munch on a few of these throughout the day and still be within your carb limit:

You can add me.

I'm Keto. I stay under 20 grams a day. I also do intermittent fasting.

aquamarinex · February 2018

By all means add me if you wish - I am not extremely low carb but have cut my carbs to under 100g which is a third of what I was eating. I used to be a huge carb eater but am swapping in things like flavoured cauli rice and oomi protein noodles etc instead of what I used to eat. Unlike you I like most veg so am also keeping it simple wih fish/chicken etc and tons of veg.

I just went back on Keto after gaining some of my weight back. Feel free to add me!

agrube1968 · February 2018

Thanks for commenting everyone! I think I have added everyone!

MyronWhite1 · February 2018

I am interested in low carb. Been working on it but find it difficult to get below 50g...interested how some can stick to 20/25g per day

KatsuKitty · February 2018

I just started low carb but am high compared to people doing keto - I try for 50 g carbs per day but usually end up between 50-100. Those are almost entirely from vegetables but a bit from things like salad dressings or nuts or the occasional fruit. I feel so much better - I'm not gluten intolerant that I know of but grains are not nice to my tummy.

T1DCarnivoreRunner · February 2018

Fortunately, you say you like meat... that is pretty close to 0g carbs. Eat steak, chicken, fish, etc. Chicken is a very dynamic food that can be made with all kinds of flavors. Just be careful with things like Chinese food, for example, where lots of sugar is added.

Sharcupach · February 2018

I would love to be included! Been doing Keto for a little over a month...16 lbs down!

It's not easy but can be done. I am keeping my carbs to around 30-35. 1 week down and have lost 10.2 lbs so far!
