Bobby,

These are very low carb and have protein as well: swiss chard, kale, spinach, romaine, cabbage, bok choy, mushrooms, asparagus, okra,broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, snow peas, eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, brussels sprouts, cucumbers, green bean

Meat IS expensive. I am only going to do this for two days and then go back to beans and lentils.

If you want to stick to it, you could could eat cottage cheese, yogurt, tuna -- things like that.

Your diet has to make sense and be healthy.
WE need to eat veggies for our health. Some veggies have more carbs then others. But remember that the fiber carbs don't count if you are going to count carbs, so you subtract those.
here is an example.

chopped turnip greens with cubed turnips
are really healthy and few carbs or calories for that matter.
A whole 12 ounce frozen bag has 100 calories
8 net grams of carbs (16 minus the 8 fiber carbs)
just steam them little hot sauce good to go!

You can buy Chicken of the Sea salmon, and it is filled with protein and Omega 3's... cheap too. Comes in a pouch which is inexpensive at WalMart or Target, and can be mixed with any
dressing or mayo and eaten in a sandwich or on crackers or whatever. It is far less expensive and contains Omega-3s for your nervous system and has lots of protein for very little money.

Please consider it.

Strict low carb diets have you eat less than 30 grams a day, you can still lose weight only eating 60 grams of carbs just not as fast.
one ounce of cheese has 1 carb.
You can use the nutrition tracker at www.sparkpeople.com
to help you keep tract of your meals and carbs etc. When I was seriously dieting I was counting calories and carbs and lost weight. the tracker is fairly easy to use.
I can help you to figure it out if you like.

this morning i went for a short walk with cecilia. I thought something was wrong because i didn't really speak to her last week except for a brief call i made and she responded by getting off the phone fast. I feel relieved. I finished my taxes yesterday and they are in envelops.i will just recheck that i got all the papers together and then send them certified on thursday i think.
i wake up very depressed every morning but feel better as the day goes on.
I wake up thinking about death a lot.

cymbalta might be responsible with my short term memory problems. it is a side effect. My memory has really gotten worse.
