I tried to figure out how many carbs in one gram and then figure out how many grams for 5 carbs but i was getting weird numbers.... | Let's say a food has X net carbs per Y grams. And you want to find out how many grams (Z) you have to eat for 5 net carbs. Then what you do is:
For yogurt, since it has 6.5 net carbs per 100 grams, you have: Quote: |
Z = 5*100/6.5 = 76.92 grams of yogurt.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
