Servings of Non-Carb Foods
« on: January 16, 2013, 10:09:03 PM »
As long as I'm staying under 20 grams of carbs/day, does the number of servings of the carb free food I eat matter?  What about fat content?

Here is what I have seen Doug post many times when questions such as this come up

5 rules to GUARANTEE success

1- ONLY EAT WHEN YOU ARE TRULY HUNGRY
2- EAT A SMALL PORTION OF LOW SUGAR FOODS FROM THE FAT TO SKINNY BOOK
3- WAIT 15 MINUTES AND SEE HOW YOU FEEL
4- IF YOU'RE STILL HUNGRY AFTER 15 MINUTES EAT A LITTLE MORE AND WAIT ANOTHER 15 MINUTES
5- STAY UNDER 20 CARBS PER DAY....EVERY DAY, LESS IF YOU DON'T SEE MOVEMENT ON THE SCALE

I would say the simple answer is no......If you are following these rules though....your question should be am I truly hungry. 

Also keep in mind that some items are listed as having 0 carbs because the amount of carbs in a serving are less than 1.   Many times they will make the serving size smaller in order to list it this way.   After all a tic tac is labeled as 0 carbs per serving, but they are made with real sugar.   That being said I would urge you to read those labels to be sure it is truly 0 carb and and then ask yourself why you want another serving.   If you aren't hungry save it for later  ;) 

Some folks worry with fat content others not so much.  I myself try to stay with lean cuts of meat, but at this time I don't worry much with watching the fat content.  I do love my heavy whipping cream, bacon, cheese and butter   ;)  I just don't love it at the same time.    The greatest thing I love about FTS is it's simplicity.  The only numbers I want to count are the carbs....Those are the ones that will turn to sugar  ;D
