6/10/09 Low Carb Menu

Breakfast: Banana, low carb latte

Lunch: Low carb white pizza (low carb tortilla, mozzarella cheese, goat cheese, pesto)

             Red pear

Snack: 2 slices swiss cheese

Dinner:  Salad - chicken breast, romaine, celery, gruyere cheese, caesar dressing

1/2 of a diet coke and jack daniels with lime

The banana at breakfast - I've started exercising again and I know you should eat something higher in carbs after working out. I need to find something that sort of fits the 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein that is recommended. I am trying to stay away from my former post-workout breakfast - toast and peanut butter - because peanut butter can be a trigger food for me.

Low Carb Life

So it's been several months now and I've been doing the low-carb thing. Its working. I feel less sluggish, happier and best of all I've lost over 30 pounds. I've been reading low-carb blogs online and the daily menus really help me figure out what to eat, so I thought I'd start recording my own meals once in a while.  I drink water all day long.
