Thanks for a great comment.
It has been a while since I posted any updates to my blog as I have been on vacation for 3 weeks. Also have been a bit lazy during summer and made very simple food, a lot of oven baked chicken and vegetables with sour cream.

I do know of some good bread recipes. At least I think they are good as I like grainy breads. I will try to post one soon. You can make a mashed potato substitute using cauliflower. I like to add butter and creme fraiche. Herbs, spices and feta cheese are some other ingredients I sometimes add.

Personally I don’t count the carbs either. When I started changing my diet back in 2005 I ate a lot of carbs compared to a lot of other people. I followed a low glycemic diet and avoided the quick carbohydrates. I feel I am still on a journey to find my own “optimal” diet.

I think the acceptable number of carbohydrates one should eat in a day is different from person to person and depends on your goal. For instance if you want to loose weight you may have to be more careful with your carbohydrate intake than if you are going to maintain your weight, and different people also have a different carbohydrate tolerance. I think another important factor is concidering what is ideal for you and what is possible for you to maintain long term. After all we are social beings and have a lot of other things to spend time on than just eating the proper foods.
Generally on a low carb diet people eat somewhere between 20-80 grams of carbohydrate pr day (on a low glycemic diet this number can be even higher, as the main focus here is just to avoid the high glycemic carbs).
