You consider a 1000-calorie per day deficit small? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you. |

Because with very low carbs the only foods left are higher fat, thus higher calorie, foods. doug Not true. An egg, for example, generally has less than 100 calories. Three eggs is a filling meal. A grilled chicken breast is low-fat, as are many low-carb vegetables. I was easily able to stay under 1500 calories and 20-30g carbs. -- Michelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws. |

Doing low cal on low fat would be a nightmare for most. |

... Do they sell "finger prick" blood sugar monitors in Italy? They are very convenient and more accurate, although, possibly, cost a bit more. The problem is that urine sticks only work if you're past the threshold where glucose spills into the urine. IIRC, it's around 180. That's a value some diabetics do not even reach at the time of diagnosis. The urine sticks only work as an alarm signal. Their main use is for T1 (or way out of control T2) to check for ketoacidosis (ketones + glucose in urine = bad news, emergency situation). |
