Low Carbing -can someone explain in simple terms?

[AngryFeet]

I want to do low Carbing but I am a busy bee and haven't the time to read the Atkins book. I am confused by working out the carbs in stuff and how many I can eat per day. I also don't have loads of time to cook fancy dishes from scratch. Is there a quick simple way to do this diet? Examples of meals would be helpful too :) Thanks!

thanks!

are you counting your veg correctly? i can get to 15 carbs in a heartbeat - half a tomato , half an onion and half a bell pepper and im almost there.

I have been eating brocolli, pak choi and cabbage only which seem to all be at the lower end of the scale. Maybe need to add more carby veg in then?

I'm on day 3 of Dukan. Finding it quite easy to follow as NO veg allowed at all in attach phase (2-5 days).

Seems healthier than atkins as only lean meat and low fat dairy allowed.

4lb lighter on the scales this morning

4lbs is awesome.

half a pound - does that even count? this morning.

and going to make some pancakes for a snack later

forgot to add, at the event i did last night there was a whole tray of cake left......and i gave it away to staff!

there was also a basket full of crisp packets....i gave them to 18 yo son today.

ooh the pancakes look good. Do you think I could use fromage frais or quark instead of cream??

Yes, pancakes have got my mouth watering now. Heading off home for a turkey stir-fry though.

am so ill, i want sugar. i want a nice cup of tea with two sugars. and i want to wrap myself up in a wuilt and eat cake.

have to get through today (thurs) then i can have cake on friday

pancakes were ver nice btw.

i have never tried fromage frais, but let me know how it turns out and a carb count woudl be good if you could please
