Low carb eaters.....

[HannaLee]

That's me. I love my breads! I haven't managed a day below 60 carbs (according to FitDays numbers) but I am getting closer and closer to it. I still haven't found where to add ingredients for a recipe and get a nutritional estimate. I joined SparkPeople, but couldn't find it. I have to just guess on dinners.

Bread is my downfall...along with licorice.

Just when I decide to go hard core low-carb a beautiful, cranberry swirl bread shows up in the photo of the week! Doesn't it look yummy?

That reminds me does anyone know about how many carbs there would be in a single slice of home-made sourdough bread?

That is why I like to keep it simple and go by servings, and eat only "good" carbs. One slice of bread=one serving, two servings a day for weight loss on average for a woman, four a day for a man.

Good carbs: Whole grain bread slice, 1/2 c ww pasta, beans, lentils, yam, sweet tater, hummus, oatmeal (not the packets, the "just oats" kind), peas, etc. Keep grains to a minimum....for weight loss. Whole foods to avoid for weight loss: Potatoes, corn of any kind, honey, maple syrup, agave, etc. Not forever, just for weight loss.

I ate tons of corn going down the scale.

but I never combined it with a "heavier" type food day.


WOW corn......just a corn junkie here..LOL

Corn is a great weakness for me....popcorn, tortilla chips, sweet corn, cornbread...... I really have to watch it!

Last night I baked two loaves of whole wheat bread....lucky for me I was too stuffed to even be tempted by the delicious smell!'

Farmer, you got me with "I love drippy oozey delish garlic butter on shrimp.....beats bread anyday..LOL"
I have to admit, I would take that over a slice of any kind of bread at all. Although the fresh baked sundried tomato sourdough bread at the local bakery is out of this world.

oh I hear ya....I don't eat chips or cornbread ---occasionally popcorn cause who doesn't love that..LOL

when I went down the scale with corn I only ate fresh good corn on the cob. everything else was out if I wanted to lose weight.

Too stuffed form the 1 pound bag of veggies I forced down between 2-2:30 yesterday afternoon. New habit, lesson learned....give your self a couple hours to eat a pound of raw veggies. :/

It's hard to resist freshly baked bread with butter.
