Not sure were we going with this, but now we are on a low carb diet. Sometimes I like to change my diet to see what will happen. This time it was Janis, not me who suggested a low carb diet.
Not sure if it’s right or wrong but it’s easier to get “full” and stay “full” for a while. Also cooking is simple. Eggs and bacon for breakfast with a veggie salad. I can cook it in no time.
Bread is something I can’t live without… or so I thought! Buns in the picture are low carb buns made from eggs and philuscum hask (ever heard of it?). Gives necessary satisfaction. I’m drinking much often now and that is good!

Good luck with the diet! Our daughter might have turned gluten intolerant, and I am on the
I’m not sure for how long I will “survive” but hope to share few recipes 🙂
Good luck! Let us know how you go 🙂
I hope to share few recipes along the way!
…the comment went away…well, I am hunting good recipes for bread. Not so easy I find. She cannot live without bread either. One recipe I have that works – flour is difficult to find the right mix of.
I need to try seed and nut bread – that has eggs and seeds & nuts in. The other bread I like that is low carb is eggs and cheese… very cheesy taste and satisfying.
Be careful with low-carb dieting. My niece became sick after following such a diet for about 18 months. She ended up in hospital. She’s returned to normal eating normal and is fine.
Thank you for your coment! I hope i won’t get into hospital! You have my email, please write me a bit more!
I think the thing to remember is not go too carb-free. My niece was having virtually no carbs or very few. She’d treat herself once a month. It really screwed up her insides, so be cautious.
Thank you for sharing. I hope to not go carb-free but first I need to fing how to count carbs 😀
best of luck, sounds like you’re off to a good start. just listen to your body as you go –
Yes!! I hope to not loose my inner voice 🙂
Never heard of philiscum hask; I’ll look it up when I’ve some time. You know what I think of ‘diets’ unless necessary for some serious medical condition. I reckon you can’t go wrong with just a well balanced food intake. I hope the low carbohydrates works for you, but you’ll never know. If you feel better you might have felt better anyway, or just the placebo effect. 😃
I looked it up and it is what I know as ‘ispagula husk’; we have an orange flavoured one in our medicine cupboard. It is prescribed by medics here as a mild laxative, as it was for me following surgery where any straining could have damaged the repair. Usually you have to drink it in plenty of water, where it forms a gel. My packets say only to be given to children under 6 years on medical advice.
Interesting and usefull information! Thank you!
Yes I know! I’m OLD enough to question and feel free to change at any time
I follow the keto diet which is similar to the low carb diet. It’s really easy and you do stay full longer!
What is the key things I have to “check” or “be alert” to avoid “damage”?
Make sure to have 20 carbs a day, any less and you will feel sick. No sugar because those are carbs, and read labels! You will go into ketosis after a few days. No damage that I know of. I’m reading a new book about it called Fat for Fuel. I’ll keep you posted if there’s anything in there.
I have no idea how to count carbs! I guess I need some app to help me with that!
Myfitnesspal or carb manager are both great apps for keeping track 😀
I avoid and try to eat low carb and gluten free, but if I’m at a restaurant that has a good crusty bread, I can’t resist it😂 Good luck, I think you can’t go wrong limiting your carbs👍
I hope so! I will bake a cake if I want and eat ice cream some time, but I already feel that eating less carb i want less!
Hi Lize! A low carb diet is one of my favorite diets. I too tried many different diets and discovered that I can eat a lot on a low carb diet to stay full and still keep losing weight. I too enjoy a nice bread or cracker that actually tastes like a bread or cracker. I just launched a low carb magazine – it includes a wonderful low carb pizza crust recipe and cracker recipe that you should give a try! Let me know what you think. https://lowcarbdietlife.com/low-carb-magazine-subscription/
I will!
