Wigging out over Soft Food Stage
Hey all,
Just soo anxious about overloading myself with carbs and they are CRACK to me! I am not exaggerating. My first cracker the other day and my head said "devour the box" when my gut was full.
Why can't I just continue on liquids longer (lol). So don't want to mess this food thing up. Maybe
its just hitting my harder because I never paid as much attention to ratios before (40/30/30).
How do I break this down per meal. I was just floored when I discovered a label for mango and it still had 21g carbs per 3/4 cup serving! When I"m only intaking 60-70g of protein that seems like too many carbs on one food.
I'm not real great at math- I think I'm gonna book a seperate dietician appt sooner to ease all these fears. Just wanna make sure I'm doing everything right and not gonna blow this!

There are risks and costs to a program; but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction. -JFK
Because you want something to chew on! Avoid fruit for now and concentrate on the protein first. Add some soggy well steamed veggies and a couple of crackers and you'll be doing great.
