I am just about to start my 4th week sugar free and loving it, after 4 days my energy levels soared, no more draging myself out of bed I now bounce out. After 2 and a half weeks had lost 5 kgs, deluxe,
but this morning gained 1 kg, after reading the comments of you guys I am not to worried and think I need a low carb diet to kick things of again. Can anyone give a simple low carb and high carb list of foods, have tried a few web sites but they just do my head in.
Regards Slim
Well done Andrew
The best is a No carb diet to get your weight loss kick started
No carb means what it says, no carbohydrates...........that means.........if possible for you, cut pasta, rice, bread, cereals, potatoes, pumpkin, sweet potato, oats, barley, in fact no high, brown or low grain any carb of any kind.
So, breakfast......bacon eggs and mushrooms. No tomatoes, too much fructose.
Lunch......chicken of any sort and salad or vegetables. Keep the carrots down too, they can be a bit high in fructose too. No mayo unless it's whole egg.
Dinner.....steak or fish, vegetables.
Snacks.............. Most nuts, although almonds are a bit high in fructose. I have a mix of walnuts and cashews.
You can have fried food and cheese, yoghurt and butter and full cream milk on a low carb diet too.
Whatever you do, don't have anything "light" or "skim" this is one of David's no nos, he says there are nasty things in anything light.
Hope that helps.
I only stay carb free for a couple of weeks as I get sick of bacon and eggs after a while.
But if this is too extreme for you, simply cut down on all these carbs, listed above and, as Bron says, keep to a high fibre carb list and multigrain...........Helgas..........is recommended by David as it has an extremely low sugar content.
Best of luck
cheers

Once again this is GREAT information - thanks so much. I've been going crazy on butter with bread - mmm - need to kick that now don't I?
Once you have done this for a week do you then revert to eating bread etc?? Or do you still steer clear?

Hello Em
After a week, I may have one slice of toast with avocado for breakfast or Vegemite and butter. I still keep low in carbs as my body doesn't process them well and I can put on weight if I overdo them.
And to answer your other question..............yes, I did develop a salt craving for a while when first going fructose free, but it passed.
Also, your other question about sugar in hot chips, usually it's not added to them although I did hear a rumour that McDonalds uses sugar to crisp up its chips. So, you can ask your local fish and chip shop if they add sugar to their chips it's as simple as that.
As for other products, most have an ingredients list and you can see the sugar content on that. Up to 3% sugar is ok, according to David.
hope that helps
cheers
