Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Miss eating apples?
I discovered something in my hotel last week. I had left overs from a restaurant that included some tomato slices. I had a kitchen, so I whipped up my usual breakfast, but I missed my ketchup from home. What would happen if I heat up that tomato slice with splenda and cinnamon in the microwave? It tasted like apple sauce! It wasn't ketchup- but good enough for a low carb dessert At home I like the roma, plum tomatoes. about 4 carbs- easy to count and no waste.

I'm on a low-carb diet and I eat apples from time to time, not daily, and not always a whole apple, but nothing wrong with cutting an apple into quarters and having a slice or two. Not an "atkins induction" legal food, but hey, do people *always* have to be on induction to be considered "low carbing"? > I'm on a low-carb diet and I eat apples from time to time, not > daily, and not always a whole apple, but nothing wrong with cutting > an apple into quarters and having a slice or two.

One of the best sources of carbs as far as I am concerned. Just count it towards your daily allowance. I get about 150g of carbs per day. i > I always eat one apple per day.

One of the best sources of carbs > as [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > 150 carbs? > you call that LOW CARB? Well, given that 24-25% of my calories come from carbs, I think that it is low, yes. Much lower than the standard dietary recommendations. i > > 150 carbs? > > you call that LOW CARB?

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > that seems pretty high............................ Well, I am a 5'11" man who is not trying very hard to lose weight and who spends 400-500 calories per day exercising. I am trying to lose weight actually, but at the rate no more than 1 lb per month. The carbs that I eat come mostly in the low GI form. Apples, hot oatmeal cereal, low calorie vegetables, that sort of stuff. i >>> I always eat one apple per day. One of the best sources of carbs >> as [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > i Wow and I thought I was not quite "low carb" with my 60-75g max I don't really count carbs anymore. I did all that in the beginning, and now that I know all the natural low-starch, low-sugar foods, I simply eat them (fish, greens, poultry, olive oil, etc...). Everything else that I put in my diet is after I've had a substantial amount of the above. There comes a time in one's diet where they don't have to constantly refer to the book, or re-learn how to ride the bike, so to speak. That's what it's like for me. >>>> I always eat one apple per day. One of the best sources of carbs >>> as [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Wow and I thought I was not quite "low carb" with my 60-75g max Well, I am not about to tell you to eat more carbs. But the way I eat, does not make me crave foods etc. See my post to "rosie" about low GI foods that I eat. > I don't really count carbs anymore. I do not count anything, on a regular basis, but I did it for one week using fitday, just to see what I was eating. I use portion control instead of counting as it saves me time and aggravation. > I did all that in the beginning, > and now that I know all the natural low-starch, low-sugar foods, > I simply eat them (fish, greens, poultry, olive oil, etc...). same here. > Everything else that I put in my diet is after I've had a > substantial amount of the above.

I stay away from the real crap (junk food), keep carbs a bit lower, and control portions. I also fast once per week on Thursdays. i > Well, I am not about to tell you to eat more carbs. But the way I eat, > does not make me crave foods etc. See my post to "rosie" about low > GI foods that I eat. As does the way I eat. For me, it's not about carb count, it's about ingredients, plain pure and simple. It just seems to default to 60-75 carb grams daily. I am very sensitive to grains, even whole grains, and refined sugar, so the foods I eat are lower in simple carbohydrates. >> I don't really count carbs anymore. > > I do not count anything, on a regular basis, but I did it for one > week using fitday, just to see what I was eating.

The lowering of the carbs and the upping of natural fats does that for me. >Subject: Re: Miss eating apples? >From: "rosie" readandpostOUT@hotmail.com [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >150 carbs? >you call that LOW CARB?

Why would I want to be on a ketogenic diet, if do not plan on losing weight at any but the slowest rate. My plan is to lose 10-15 lbs of fat and gain 5 lbs of muscle in the whole year. So, 5-10 lbs of weight is all I want to lose this year. i 223/173/180 > >> From: "rosie" readandpostOUT@hotmail.com > >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > fat and gain 5 lbs of muscle in the whole year.

No, Kathy didn't assert anything. I said that my diet was below 150 carbs a week. I don't consider that in a day, low carb.

Which is fine, and is their right. I follow the diet that my doctor recommended. I trust my doctor, and the diet has helped me in a low of ways. {Beware run on sentance} I was simply pointing out first, that 150 carbs a day, was in my most humble opinion not low carbs, and second that I didn't assert anything, I simply offered my opinion.

Now that I'm getting close to the end, i noticed that my calories were too high to keep losing, but that I had more room for carbs. So I replaced the bacon and eggs breakfast (1000 cals!) with an apple. 35 more carbs, but only 130 cals i think. That and the exercise seem to be working now. brian 290/228/210 july 8, 2003 I ate about 2 apples/week while they were in season here in Minnesota. no problems with it.

Apples are hard to fit into a low carb plan in the earlier stages, while a small tomato is ok. I have adopted a new habit of taking a small amount of fruit when I have someone to share the rest of it with me. Funny how appealing it looks to the next person when you slice a fruit up, sharing can be fun. SignatureDiane Atkins since 12/4/2003 234/211/150 5"8 > I discovered something in my hotel last week.

I thought this thread was announcing the results of a beauty contest! Brian |
