These are some notes I made for eating LCHF>

Helga’s Guidelines for LCHF Eating…

What you want to avoid:1. No bread, no potatoes, no rice, no pasta, no cous cous – no overt carbs at all eg cake, pizza, rusks, muffins, etc! No peanuts (see below for other nuts)2. No sugar in tea or coffee. No chocolate, sweets, no fizzy drinks, no flavoured water or even diet drinks. Avoid artificial sweetners.What you can eat:1. Free range eggs, fish eg. tuna, salmon, hake, haddock, yellowtail, sardines etc. chicken, meat, including pork (bacon), beef, lamb and biltong (try for free-range).2. Nuts and Seeds – macadamia, almonds, cashew (I avoid salted and roasted), pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flaxseed soil (Tim says it really helps with raised blood pressure). Olive oil.3. Fruit – limit fruit to one serving a day. Fruit is very high in sugar. I personally favour berries – strawberries, gooseberries, blueberries and raspberries. (They are great for preventing constipation).4. Veggies – Avocado pear – I can eat a LOT of this. I put it in every salad and eat it on it’s own regularly! I will be very sad when they are out of season.  Lots of veggies are great – leafy greens, like spinach and cabbage. I regularly eat carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, peas, even a little butternut. Gem squash, baby marrows. I eat lots of salad laden with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red pepper, carrots, mushrooms, feta cheese, olives and avo. Yum!5. Dairy products – these are going to give you a great deal of satisfaction. Full cream (double if you like) Greek (unsweetened, unflavoured) yoghurt. Once you are off sugar, you will love it. Cream! I put cream on my breakfast and in my coffee. It’s great. Full cream milk. Cheese, Eggs. Butter (ditch margarine).
So you see there is lots to eat!

I drink to thirst and usually have about 5 or 6 glasses of water a day.
