Low fat, low carb amounts - help please

[slimmerkay]

Can someone please help me? I have been sticking to what I think is a low carb/low fat diet for a week now and have lost 4lb

Yeah that is great but I just want to make sure I'm doing it right. I've cut out bread completely but am having ryveta and an odd bit of potato in my soup recipes here and there. What I need to know is, does anyone know how low fat and carbs daily allowance should be to lose weight?

Thanks in advance

Hi theres a free website its called myfitnesspal.com it will ask u questions and give u the right amount of everything you need. You can then lower the carbs and up the protien and keep a track of it all........its very good i use it to keep track of my bits and pieces.

Nadine - can I also ask where you had surgery? Mr Agwunobi is listed as a consultant at the Alexandra in Cheadle along with Mr Ammori but I've been referred to Mr Ammori.

yep i had my surgery at the Alexandra, Mr Ammori is supposed to be the best but i would contest that and say it was Mr Agwunobi but they are both great surgeons.

That's good to know. How long were you in for?

You've done brilliant by the way - well done.

And that site is great. I didn't realise there were so many carbs in a banana

my dietician told me i could have
1 jacket pot to fit in my palm with fingers wrapped round
2 icecream scoops size of mash
4 small new pots
2 roast pots fry light style.

1 slice of bread

40 strands of spaghetti
2 tbsp of pasta about 10 shells

mox of 5 eggs a week but max 2 at a time

1 1/2 oz of cheese at a time

and although we should eat 5 lots of fruit and veg no more than 2 pieces of fruit a day .

That site is fab.

Just put in what I have eaten/will eat today and at the end of the day I will have:

EDITED
303 cals still to eat;
55g carbs left;
Have 8g of fat to use;
And will have eaten 29g MORE protein than needed.

My question now is, how do I get the last 303 calories with little carbs or fat? :sigh:

I am so shocked at the amount of carbs in fruit. And here was me thinking I was a seasoned dieter.

erm not that I'm an expert...but on my milk diet I've been told to eat between 3 and 4 pieces of fruit, including a banana, orange or grapes.

I think some carbs are better than others. It's more refined foods we should be tying to avoid?
