Banting Food Journal 21 Oct 2014…

If I was to be counting calories I might be freaking out today. Nearly 3 000 calories!!! But only 30.4 carbs!And I have lost another two kilos…

I do my nutrition tracking on SparkPeople but they are wrong at times, so I double check with http://www.carbohydrate-counter.org. It is keeping me honest with myself. My fat percentage of calories was 79% today. Weird to see that, but happy I am not hungry or craving bread. If I had to choose which I would like for the rest of my life, bread or fats, I would definitely choose fats. Butter and cream are gourmet foods for me, as are cheeses. How could I possible say no to them! So this is a decision we all need to make re our chosen lifestyles. I know from experience that when you “stop dieting” and go back to breads and sugar, you get really big! So the motto is – Keep on Keeping On!
