Easy Low Carb Diet Format
1 or 2 Point Carb Diet
My daughter was diagnosed with insulin resistance which puts her at high risk for type 2 diabetes. She was getting tired of counting carbs, and was not tracking her diet on a regular basis. I devised a one or two point system with a list of foods in each point range. This simple tool is not an exact measure, but is close and much easier to follow.
Easy Low Carb Diet
Breakfast: 30 carbs max = 2 C. Units
Snack:15 carbs max = 1 C. Unit
Lunch: 30 carbs max = 2 C. Units
Snack: 15 carbs max = 1 C. Unit
Dinner: 30 carbs max = 2 C. Units
Total of 120 carbs daily (8 C. Units). You can use up to 15 carbs (1 C. Unit) saved earlier in the day on later meals/snacks as long as you stay at 120 (8 C. Units) a day or less.
