That's great, Angel!
Yes you guys are right, they recommend low-fat dairy and meat. Are any of you having success with using full-fat milk and/or cheese? Maybe limiting your portion a little more? I ask because we actually raise dairy goats for milk, and it's impractical to try to skim the fat from it, as it doesn't rise the way it does with cow's milk. I can't really justify buying my own milk, BUT I don't really drink that much of it. I am thinking that if I use it once a day to link, then I will be fine with it being full-fat. Does that sound OK?
Anyhow, I have read the chapter on linking, and I'm going to stop here and link for a week. Then I will read about balancing and then add that. Does that sound OK?
Here is my breakfast. Did I link it OK?
Whole wheat French toast
2 small slices crispy, drained bacon
1 tbsp maple syrup (we don't have any sugar-free, I used a lot less than usual)
Coffee
I think that the carbs in the bread and syrup are linked by the egg and milk in the French toast and the bacon. Did I do OK? Again I'm not worrying about balancing yet. |
