Well I started that getting tough bit this week, carbs are about the 10 mark (today 12 as I have been at my daughters and new grandbaby 2 days - its a bit trickier when most of your ingredients are at home - and dinner out with youngest daughter tonight. And as a side note - you don't get your monies worth if you are eating low carb out. For instance, my daughter had chicken parma - chicken snitzel with tomato-based sauce, slice ham and melted cheese, a handful of fries and a side salad. The plate was overflowing. I ordered the roast of the day (pork), skipping the gravy and asking for a little sour cream instead. I got something that I'm sure was pork, but roast it wasn't. A small baked potato that was going to go to my daughter, but she was too full, 2 x 2" strip of zucchini, a small floret of broccoli and a few sliced carrot (which wasn't going to be eaten anyway). There was a difference of $2 my being the lesser. I think you could see more plate that actual food on my plate. I am just sick and tired paying lots of money for something I can make at home for so much less. On my way home I was thinking I should have asked for the manager and asked him if he would have paid $19 for my meal, cos I surely wont. Next time I will treat my daughter to a meal and I'll sit with a coffee.
I have had cravings like you would not believe - like I don't believe either. Sugar alcohols must be the abosolute pip. Just as bad as actual sugar. I'm thinking it is the sweetness of things that I crave. I had about 3 strawberries yesterday and again today and they were like a little slice of heaven, but too many carbs (3.5). If aiming for 10 that's a big chunk.
