Summer is here and so are the berries. Strawberries, sweet cherries are ripe, rasperries, gooseberries, currants are on their way. But they all contain carbs. So on LCHF: what do you do? Eat only 3 strawberries a day although you have about 10 kilos in the garden?
If you are very strict, then the answer is YES, you stick to a couple. But I am willing to have a zero loss week or even gain a little for those 2 weeks we have sweet cherries or strawberries. I can easily have 150 grams of berries in a day. Then the season is over and I can go back to my regular 20 g of carbs a day. Currant and rasperry season I can handle, they aren’t my favourites anyway. But I can’t say the same about grapes, apples, peas and tomatoes.
If I have it in my garden, I will eat it. But I won’t go to the store and buy berries or any fruit. The same goes for seeds and nuts, I just can’t eat them in moderation. Yes, I’m bad that way so I don’t keep them around the house.
What would you do if you had a huge garden with all clean and yummy things growing? Let me know.
