Thank you all for input on carblevel!
Hi, just back from Midsummer’s festivities, next to Christmas the
biggest holiday here in Sweden. Barring the one glass of wine, I
managed to stick to my Atkins (NO marinated herring, NO small, fresh
potatoes boiled with dill, NO strawberries - BUT instead fillet of
beef, tasty sallads, panna cotta made from vanilla stick -
delicious!). I really appreciated your various inputs on carblevels -
(this being very new to me, so new that I still wonder if I’m off
my head every time I have devilled eggs and mayo in my
sallads,considering that the Swedish equivalent of the FDA has
pushed the anti-fat campaign to levels that Americans are nowhere
near - we even had posters saying that “Socialstyrelsen (FDA)
recommends eating 6-7 slices of bread a day”!!!!!). I thought that
the body NEEDED 20 carbs so I was trying to push myself,lol. Going
on the Atkins is like having a culture shock - I feel slightly
disoriented and my old references on what to eat and not are
seriously challenged. BUT; it’s the first time in many years that I
really ENJOY what I’m eating and I laugh with joy every time I go to
the store to shop for food//ingrid
