Bellys to Bumps

I've been doing a sort of low carb diet, meaning I've been restricting them, but not terribly strict about it. Is it just carbs, or does eating protein/high fiber foods limit the blood sugar rise at all? Maybe that might help? It IS really difficult finding no-carb snacks, as fruit in my book is the ultimate snack food but they always have carbs.

Sorry, guess I wasn't much help!

Celery is gross. Truly! I am with you on that one Cran. No idea about low carb foods though as snacks.

Ive been eating wholegrain stuff ( ie TWIGLETS lol and ryvita minis) but dont rly fancy the idea of eating sliced chicken as a snack rly. Im not going for zero carbs, just low like you say.

Some low carb snacks for you Cranberry.

Then I would include stuff like fruits, just making sure that what grain products you do have, are full-grain (like pasta, bread etc) and often it helps if you eat both carbs and protein at the same time. And the higher your diet is in fiber, the better, that slows down the absorbtion of the sugars in the carbs. I actually don't mind a few slices of ham, for instance, as a snack, especially when paired with an apple or something. Oh and cottage cheese is a good snack! Or sugar-free dairy products, that you add fruit/berries into yourself.

Oh thanks! Why didnt I think of just googling it myself

Nuts! Thatll do. Lovely. Also pickle and cheese sounds nice. That light cathedral city is actually rly nice.

Hello Liz!
Help needed please - as I said LOADS of EWCM in the last few days - we dtd on Friday night, didn't do anything yesterday (trying to dtd every other day) just been to the loo now (CD17) & the was quite a splash of bright red blood on the loo paper - enough to take 3 wipes to get rid of it - any ideas???

 

[cranberry987]

Ovulation bleeding? Ive never had it tbh so not sure how heavy its supposed to be

 

[twinkle1975]

I've never had it before either!!

 

[Traskey]

Does sound like that could be it. If you are on CD17 and you have EWCM then I think it must be. Get and catch that eggy Although Friday night will probably have done it

[cranberry987]

Lovie, go have a big drink of water and brush your teeth!

 

[twinkle1975]

lovie - I'm with you on eating the house - I've got 12 packs of mini eggs & 9 cadbury's easter eggs in the spare room that I'm using for Easter workshops next week - I can hear them - Jaaaackieeee - eeeaattt ussss!!

 

[cranberry987]

Oh! I think I can hear them too!

 

[twinkle1975]

Mmmm - the weightwatchers fromage frais I've just eaten was so much better than a big pile of Chocolatey goodness. oh yes

 

[Traskey]

Ooooooooooooooooooooooo, I hear them too!!!! Eat me, eat me. I shall resist though, never fear. That's the only advantage to being on this diet. There is no flexibility at all. If there were I'd think, if I just eat that then i'll have a salad later
