Well I have been doing pretty well on this low carb diet. I do have a question about rice. My midwife said I could have all the rice I want. I usually buy & eat brown rice because its healthier, but since I wasnt able to make it to the HFS, I ended up buy rice at Aldi's instead (the long grain, notinstant).....anyway I looked at the back and it said 37grams of carb / 1/4 cup serving..........that didnt sound low in carbs..... a slice of bread and tortilla only have 22 grams per serving. When she mentioned the rice she didnt specify brown, but I told her that is what I normally ate and she that is fine. Guess I will have to ask her about it at my next appointment.
I did have pancakes this morning, there was one day where I had less than 20grams, so I felt I could reward myself. I usually grind my own wheat when I have the berries, but since its been a few months since I was able to get to my source I had run out. A friend of mine gave me some of hers yesterday, because she is moving and didnt want to bother with that right now. So this morning I had whole wheat, buttermilk (I used kefir instead) pancakes for breakfast (to bad I had just run out of maple syrup). Ya know it didnt taste as good as I expected....what is wrong with me. I love whole wheat pancakes from freshly ground wheat....anyway....I did walk to the post office this afternoon to burn off those extra carbs! |
