Default Not Low Carb

There is that book on the Insulin Resistance Diet by Cheryl Somebody.

Her sample menu plan has more carbs than ever.

As someone insulin-resistant with celiac disease, I would starve on her diet, because it is more than 50% carbs.

"Egg on toast and cereal with yogurt" for breakfast. With my allergies and Celiac, all I could have is the egg.

Some of these plans are not low carb at all.

Low carb is generally 40% or less of your intake coming from carbs.. For you that would be too much, while for others, it is just fine... Have you found any diet plans suitable for Celiacs?

Hi,
I haven't found a diet plan for Celiacs. I am also allergic to dairy and shellfish, so my foods are quite limited.
I just eat meat, fish, eggs, nuts, and vegetables. Some berries sometimes. Sometimes, I just eat the same thing 3 times a day. I will make chicken and green beans and eat that for 3 meals.
I could have potatoes or rice, but they make my blood sugar spike too much. I am also a Type 2 diabetic.
Sometimes, I just eat a plate of eggs for a meal. I won't go to a dietician, because they cringe when I say I eat like that. They say its too much protein. But I can't have grains.
I can walk by the ice cream parlor without any kind of temptation, because I simply can't have that...

It sounds as though you're automatically following a Paleolithic way of eating. Have you read the Paleo Diet by Loren Cordain or Neanderthin by Ray Audette? In an ideal world, I would follow this way of eating, but at the moment I'm not ready to give up dairy!!

I did look some website up on the Paleo diet.
It is very basic.
I have very few selections, which keeps me on the straight and narrow path, but at times I get tired of the same things. One can only spice things up or make them differently in so many ways.
I try not to think of pizza.

The IR diet if done "by the book" definitely is low carb by current standards. You aren't likely to eat more than 80-100 carbs a day even if you're really chowing down, and compared to a U.S. average of (I think) 250 a day, yes, that's low-carb.

It's also designed to lower refined carbs just by nature of how little of those you can really eat as opposed to more unrefined carbs per "bulk" of food in, say, 1/3 of a Pop Tart v. a whole apple.

Just wanted to point that out. Celiac and food allergies throw a wrench into things but you do NOT have to eat wheat OR eggs on this eating plan. I personally eat wheat only very, very, very occasionally; really, I try to do my days with no wheat whatsoever, and it is absolutely, 100% doable on IR with a lot of options.

PM me if you'd like a few of my recent day's menus. Or I guess I could always post them here.

How about certain nuts and seeds? Can you eat dairy (milk/cream cheese/cream/butter, I mean...you did say you can eat eggs)? You can eat plenty of LC veggies, of course, and meats and poultry. You can eat cr*p, too. Are you able to eat whey (a milk protein isolate)? Then have I got a wheat-free peanut butter fudge for you. Are you able to eat cocoa powder? How about chocolate-flavored yogurt for breakfast w/a little tiny splash of vanilla extract & some Splenda or Stevia? There are options for you.

Good luck!
