Ultra low carb

Some of you only eat 35-50 grams per day of carbs. How do you achieve this with eating 5 X's daily??

I find that because I don't like eggs without the yolks (high cholesterol but not medicated)I don't eat egg whites and sauage all that much. I prefer cereals (can't find any below 15-20 grams), oatmeal, or toast (all around 20-25 grams). For lunch or dinner I usually have a salad and side for around 10-20 grams, and then for the third meal I have around 20-30 grams. Add two snacks in there for 30 TOTAL grams you are talking at LEAST 100 grams a day. Some days I average around 150.

Is ultra low carbing even that healthy in the long run?? I've seen sites that say, initially the results are impressive but over time ultra low carbing can do more harm than good.

As a possible PRE-D, is around 100+ carbs a day acceptable?? Also I eat at least one item per day with Splenda because I love the sugar free jellos and puddings. Is that o.k?

my blood is running much "thinner" now and I have lost a few more pounds for a total of 20 lbs in the last six weeks. My FBG and 2 hour post meal readings have all been mid to low normals this past few weeks.
