Is it ok to drink slim fast while pregnant? I have gained too much weight so far. I started out tiny and now my mid section is huge! I'm not looking to lose weight but eating hurts. My lower back is in excruciating pain and I know it's from the weight gain and due to my belly sticking so far out. I'm only 25 weeks pregnant and I feel the only option is to eat tiny meals to keep up my energy because after I eat my stomach feels so tight b it just hurts.
Hi,
depending how long you have had diabetes, and your overall condition, losing weight and changing your diet to a strict low carb diet / keto diet, could possibly put your diabetes into remission or at worst make it very much easier to manage.
The principle of low carb diet is restricting carbs, particularly all grains, sugars, starchy veges and sweet fruits, and eating a diet that focusses more on protein, low carb plant foods (veges and non-sweet fruits), some nuts, and healthy fats.
Welcome to the community.
Try walking at a reasonable pace. Also look into yoga as it's low impact and done at a slow very deliberate pace.
Be sure to watch what you eat as well - might also help the e-coli infection.
Unfortunately, it would be really difficult to do that, what with everyone having different restrictions (low sodium, low carb, low sugar, sugar free, lactose intolerance, gluten free, etc.), allergies, taste preferences, cooking skills, and the like.
Perhaps visiting with a nutritionist would benefit you, so your diet can be personally tailored to you and your needs.
I'm sorry we can't be of more service.
The thing about fasting is to force your body to burn fat during the fasting period, however, if you are someone who eats high carb and high protein and low fat, intermittent fasting is too strong a switch. During fasting, you should burn fat, and to do this, insulin levels must be low. If during your fasting window you have high insulin circulating in your body, you will not be able to burn fat AND your blood sugar will go so low that you will feel fatigued and lethargic.
Yes there is a relation between insulin dose and carbs, the relation is between fast acting insulin and carbs NOT Levemir and carbs.
eating carbs will raise BG in a short time IE 3 or 4 hours. and will stay high untill your body makes enough insulin or you inject FAST insulin. Taking levemir to counter eating will result in dangerously low BG (Hypoglycemia)!
Insulin use is difficult to explain, you need to talk to an MD that knows how to administer Basal/Bolus insulin therapy.
Hi,
I would change my diet to a low carb diet. A lot of news has been coming out about low carb and I am doing low carb. It has really helped me keep my BG down to an acceptable leval.
You might try researching the Dr. Bernstein diet for diabetics. It really works and does not affect a person in any bad way. You also do not have to starve yourself on this diet. I eat between 2000 up to 3000 calories a day but those calories are coming from low carb food.
Lots of opinions ("professional" and other) re diet/nutrition. What is working for me now, is a "South Beach/Zone" type of diet which is basically lean meat/fish and vegetables. Almost no starch (bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, etc) and very little fruit -- maybe one portion three times a week. With this diet -- and copious amounts of exercise -- Ive lost ten pounds, brought my cholesterol down from 200 to 150 and normalized my bp from pre-hypertensive.
It is recommended that people with MS consume a low-fat/ high fiber diet as the same as the general public. There have been 'diets' that claim to help MS, however, they have not been under strict controlled studies for effectiveness. Generally a healthy diet is recommending lowering your sugar and sodium consummation with a low fat/ high fiber intake.
No sugar added ice cream means no sugar added to the existing sugar which is pretty high in the first place. Read all nutrition labels carefully. Carb sugars are listed in grams, a cooking measure. Every 7 grams equals one HEAPING Tablespoon of sugar.
As far your doctor is he/she an Endocrinologist, a doctor who trained and specializes with the endocrine system, one being diabetes treatment and management? If not, get a referral to one and also to diabetes nutritionist and/or dietitian.
I have eaten a high carb diet for years based on my exercise level and do have a sweet tooth, but I always exercised so much I never thought much about it. I rarely eat out, don’t eat fast food, and don’t drink alcohol. I’m 5’4” and 117 so even though I’ve been injured and not running for many months now, I’ve stayed biking and have watched what I eat. Can a high carb diet alone elevate triglycerides? I really don’t know what to change here!
I have low LDL, high HDL, low triglycerides, and a good ratio. I'm 58, slim and exercise. Yet, my blood work got flagged for high cholesterol. I eat low carb, but definitely not keto. How can my cholesterol be high?
