TaterTot,, I don't really have a hard time on 150 carbs. I eat eggs and meats, fresh veggies as much as possible. I like the low carb tortillas, but they are $2.99 for 8, I eat maybe a pack a month. I buy low carb peanut butter, Carb Options which is Jiffy peanut butter, it is I think $2.69, but it lasts like a month and a half, low carb candy bars, catch them on sale at WalMart and buy a bunch, low carb ice cream, only 4 carbs a serving, and it's pretty good too. I eat a lot of salad when I can afford it, I love Caesar salad, celery with flavored cream cheese, only a few carbs. My afternoon snake is usually a few saltine crackers. I do eat a little potato and rice, but not much, sometimes as little as 1/4 cup. As long as I figure it into my daily carb intake I can do it. I actually drink milk! Sometimes it's hard, like a beautiful chocolate pie, but I can live without that and find recipes to replace it.
I figure the bible says, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do do it to the glory of the Lord (can't remember reference), then He means what, when and how much food I eat can either glorify Him or not. God then added additional guidelines for me with diabetes. Extreme low carb deprives the body of needed fuel, and no one knows the long term effects, junk foods, well we all know they're just plain bad for you. God gives us the opportunity to glorify Him with what we eat, we can choose to do it or not.
