When I first started low carb eating I found this awesome app called Carb Manager to keep track of everything that I eat. My carb goal is not to go over 50 grams a day. I do pretty good and keeping it between 20-30 carbs each day. I like having that extra cushion just in case. I keep it fun, try new recipes and make sure I include sweet treat recipes so that I won't want to slip up.
Low carb eating is anything under 150 carbs a day. Keto is 20 carbs or under - the closer to 0 the better! The average American eats 250-350g of carbs a day and really that number seemed low to me considering the amount of carbs in fast food, Starbucks and all of the other junk foods that we tend to love.
But to be honest, I have little slips here and there but I depend on my self control to kick in to keep me from going crazy! The other day I caved and had two little Hi-Chew candies that I have become addicted to over the past few months (thanks to one of my favorite online vinyl shops - they include some candy with each order). I stopped at those 2 so I am proud of myself! Little side note: each of those Hi-Chew candies is 4 carbs! Last night, I snuck a few of Ken's homemade french fries . They were SO good. I had to throw the leftovers in the trash because I knew I wouldn't have stopped. But the way I see it, if you don't allow those little things every so often, it will help prevent major slip ups!
Here is a picture of my lunch yesterday! I made BLT wraps using Joseph's Lavash Flatbread. I absolutely love their products! Great replacement for bread!!! I also love their pita bread with the Spinach Artichoke dip from Aldi!
Here is the packages for nutritional information.
Since I don't want this blog to only be about my low carb diet. So I am going to share my newest manicure! I am addicted to Color Street nail polish!!! Last night used parts of 5 sets to create this awesome manicure!!!
I am also having a Color Street Nail Bar party! Let me know if you are interested and I can invite you to the party! They just launched their Valentine's Day sets and they are just beautiful!!! 😍
Oh and here are some goodies that I won from a Color Street Stylist in the online vendor events that I participate in...
Hope you have a fabulous day! I am planning on going for a walk today since it is going to be 43 degrees here. And I plan to work on some new embroidery projects!!!
