The nutritionist had me on 225 gm of carbs daily -- they counted each 15 gm as 1 carb.....don't subtract the fiber and I was suppose to have "3 carbs at each meal and the rest were to be distributed evenly between 3 snacks. All I did was figure the next thing I was suppose to eat, how many "carbs" does it have and what time is it. And I had to chart everything I ate, so all I did all day long was eat and chart....amazingly I didn' tloose my mind! Atkins is so straightforward and can really be done without much effort. I do put a lot of thought into my meals to make sure I get the right numbers and so I don't become bored - but nothing like when I was following Claudia's way.

My fasting blood sugar was 111 - went back to bed with a headache (sinus) this morning so I took pills late, ate late and really didn't have breakfast -

My evening blood sugar was 100 - I had a string cheese about a half hour before testing so it was a little higher than it would have been.

I rode 25 miles on my bike this afternoon - had the cheese stick soon after I finished.

We had steak & eggs for dinner....got some thin cut NY Strip steaks, made some fried radishes with onion & green pepper in it (Fried Radishes O'Brien) and 2 eggs....that was a wonderful dinner!!!
