Just starting

[pbreaves 0]

Hi everyone. I just started my journey in February. I have passed most of my requirements and still waiting on a few. The hardest part for me has been the diet. My doctor put me on a diet of only 45 grams of carbs a day. I've stopped smoking, gave up most of my sugar (chocolate is a weakness), and switched to more natural foods. But staying under 45 grams a day is borderline torture. Any ideas or recommendations for meeting this goal but not feel like I'm starving?

how much Protein are you eating?

Varies with each meal. But I don't think it's enough.

My doctor had me on 30 grams of carbs and minimum 70 grams of Protein. Your veggies are what is going to give you that full feeling. Seasoned broccoli to your heart's content, and hitting that Protein goal will definitely help. I found eating my allowed carbs in the morning gave me the energy I needed to get through the day. It's all trial and error. Up your Water intake, too! :-)
