A Day in the Low Carb Life of Doug & Umpa?
« on: July 26, 2010, 01:42:03 PM »
Hello!

I am relatively new to the forum and the FTS diet.  While I believe the diet is working, I definitely find it challenging to stay at 20g carbs per day even though I'm eating all low-carb foods!  Typically I have been ending up closer to 30-35g per day.  Keeping a daily carb count journal has helped me pinpoint a few specific items on which I am "overspending" my share of daily carbs.  But even so, I feel like if I stayed at 20g per day I would never feel full!  Does this mean I am just a total pig who eats too large portions?  I'm not a very big person (128 lbs, 5'4")...

Sorry if you have already posted something similar in the past (if so please direct me to that!).  But Doug/Umpa:  do you keep a daily carb count journal?  Or are you just so familiar with carbs counts at this point that you just keep count in your head?

I thought it would be interesting to see just a couple days worth of what you guys are eating (items & portions) that keeps you at around 20g carbs per day. 

Thanks!
Kristin

we don't keep a food journal, I don't allow anything in my house I can't eat! If it would amuse you guys I would be more than happy to post what doug and I are eating on a daily basis  starting tommorrow. If nothing else maybe it will give you guys some ideas. ;)
