Carbs Bad!

Ok, I went a little crazy on the carbs today. Had a new meal for breakfast - Old Bob's Red Mill high fiber (30g of fiber in a 4oz serving!) I guess I didn't consider that it had alot of whole grains in it to get all that insoluble fiber! I got nearly 100 carbs today! YIKES - need to stay under 100 to keep myself in ketosis. It doesn't help that I had rice in that burrito bowl (4oz serving) and snacked on a few pita chips instead of edamame beans. I'll be getting off the carbs this weekend for sure! Suprized me though - didn't expect the cereal to have 30g of carbs!

ouch! I bet that hurt when you read that! Thanks for the heads up, I wont be buying that cereal Cindy

I also had an epiphany about carbs recently! My weight loss has stalled and I figured out that the 70-100+ carbs a day was the reason. I'll definitely be cutting back on that nasty (or yummy...however you want to look at it ) food group.

Darn those crabby carbs....lol....I know it is hard to stay away from them....I too must say I am guilty of eatting too much carbs...but like you I had to get that under control....

I confess, I've had a couple of days a while back where those nasty carbs got the best of me. Funny thing is they seemed to go down so easy and we're very agreeable with my grouchy pouch. You know that sorta scares me that some of the healthier choices like fish & chicken feel heavy in my pouch and rice, tortilla chips, etc... go down smooth and don't upset my pouch. However, I do believe I've really turned the corner this last week. Everything seems to be going down smoothly now... even really moist chicken in small bites seems to be agreeing with my pouch! So, I'm a happy camper now!

Hi Lisa, I know exactly what you mean. Crackers and pasta go down so easily and don't bother my pouch, even though I know we're supposed to avoid them. I'm really trying this week to get back on track and eat more protein and fewer carbs. It's a challenge!
