Woke up today and wanted turkey bacon and eggs, giving it a few days to "reset" seems to have worked. I really want to stick to this eating plan, so I'm trying to make sure to give myself the things I'm craving - within moderation, of course. I'm not going to order a pizza with cheesy bread and have icecream, obviously. But if I want pizza I can try out a lower carb obtion like tomato sauce & cheese over squash or some such. I found a low carb pizza recipe I was really excited to try...until I typed all of the information in on here and discovered it was 1480 calories for it (and it was a small, so 2 servings). Erg. Maybe not.
I know there are LCHF people who are firm believers that you don't have to count calories, just carbs, but I'm much more comfortable giving myself more carbs and keeping my calories in check. I've tried the super low carb (20 carbs or less daily) and it wasn't something I could maintain. I don't have that kind of willpower. I think I'm doing "moderate" low carb? Right now I'm getting roughly 35% calories from fat, 38% from protein (that's probably too high?) and 21% from carbs - that's rough estimates, doing math in my head is not my strong suit.
Found a site that is dedicated to low carbing and sweet goodies (made from scratch). I think I might give the chocolate waffles a go next weekend. We're going to the movies and I know it's a "no no" to sneak in your own snacks, but I'm going to anyway - I'll buy one of their super expensive bottles of water to compensate.
