I'm thinking of starting a low (or low-er) carb diet.
My 3 meals are currently very carb heavy, pasta, bread, rice and sugar.
I'm a complete novice though so would someone mind answering a few questions for me please? I'd be very grateful.
Breakfast - I don't have time for eggs, bacon etc or anything cooked. I'm used to cereal, what can I have instead?
Lunch - Salad and protein, is there anything I can't have in a salad? Nuts, seeds, avocado? Or any sale veg I need to steer clear of?
What's the deal with mayo,yoghurt and milk/ cheese. Can I have these? Is there restrictions?
Diet fizzy? I know it's crap and full of nasties but can I have diet coke or Pepsi max?
I know sugar is a no no but what about sweetener? Can I have one in my coffee? And alcohol, can I drink that?
Also it is low carbing rather than no carbing right? How many carbs can I have a day and what sort of thing should I be getting them from? Will I still lose weight if I stick to very low carb for breakfast and lunch then have carbs at dinner?
