Hi all :wave_cry:
Nearing the end of week one and feeling very good - but as usual for a newbie, I have a few questions I'm hoping you can help with
1. Sausages - I've been trying to get the Debbie and Andrew garden herb ones but no one locally stocks them . I know low carb sausages are mentioned on a thread somewhere but I can't find it. Can anyone tell me the names of their favourite low carb brands? I'm thinking that 0.2/0.3 carbs per sausage is OK for induction?
2. Caffeine - I have given up my diet coke and replaced my daily latte with a decaff coffee with soya milk, and that's going fine.
I've also tried replacing my morning cup of builder's tea with decaff tea and soya milk - but oh dear, it's horrible.
Do you think I could get away with one cup in the morning, as my only caffeine for the day?
3. Carb counting - I notice some newbies, including me, are following Jim's thread on what and how to much to eat, and others are counting every carb.
I really like being able to just grab a handful of salad, for example, rather than calculating the carbs - but should I be doing it the other way, giving myself 20g carbs a day and working out exactly what I can have?
What has everyone's experience been?
4. Shirtaki noodles
I ordered some noodles from the Low Carb Shop because they advertised them as ) net carbs - but the packet says 4g carbs (made up of soluble fibre) - does that mean they're a no-no?
