Advice?

Hi all I've tried lots of different diets over the years and eventually had a gastric band fitted, they recommend high protein low carb diet but don't know where to start can anyone explain the basics to me? Or point me in the right direction I have no idea what to do or where to start should I be counting cals as well as carbs ? How many carbs should I be eating per day? Has anyone got a sample menu I could look at? Sorry for all the questions but hope someone can help hugs kelly xxx

Hi have a look at marks daily apple, primal blueprint .. Is a lifestyle way of eating for life

plenty good fats, meats and loads salad and veg but no grains, legumes or potatoes etc so low carb.. For weight loss you eat between 50-100g carbs a day - mainly from veg and some fruit.,

Here's a sample menu .. But I'm not sure how big your portions can be with the gastric band?? So reduce the portions eg: instead of 2 egg omelette have 1.. Small bowl mixed salad etc

2 egg omelette with side of tomatoes and avocado - breakfast
Salad with feta cheese, chicken or tuna, boiled eggs etc - lunch
Meat and veg/ salad - dinner

Good luck with figuring things out

following primal blueprint and experimenting with the 5:2 fasting diet
