Common Questions and Answers about Carb diet for weight loss
carb
I kept on the very low carb diet, eating mostly proteins - fish fish and more fish I started losing weight really fast. I was originally at 112 - 115 keeping my weight at that by eating a ton on carbs. As soon as I was diagnosed I cut out carbs and now my weight is at 92 - 95 pounds. I am very small boned and when I was younger I weighed between 90 & 95 pounds until I turn 40 something. My morning blood sugar fasting when I was first diagnosed at hardly ever below 135 in the morning.
caregiver222's advice is logical. If for some reason you can't afford the test, try the Slow Carb Diet. The name is misleading, it should be called the Slow Carb Nutritional Program! You can stay on it for the rest of your life! If you own an iPhone - the apps are free online. You can order it online as a hardcover or an eBook. Basically, you can everything except for "White Carbohydrates" .... Bread, potatoes, fruits, rice & noodles - for example!
I recently consulted with a weight loss doctor who prescribed a sensible diet (moderately low carb) and the medication Adipex. That combination was magic for me. The diet resulted in rapid weight loss, and the prescribed medication made it easier for me to follow the diet. I did have to follow up often with my physician, but the results are worth it!
1- GNC sells some high amino acid/ high carb weight gain powders. Are these products safe for people with decompensated liver?
2- I am 192 Ibs now, down from 200, @ 6' 2", and would like to return to my 200 weight. 1.5 grms x 200 weight goal and maintanance requires 300 grams of protein daily. Is that much protein safe for cirrhotics/decomp liver to even try reaching this goal?
I have been trying to keep high carb/caloric with low sodium up to now.
Low carb diet is the best diet for women with pcos. especially if your taking Metformin.
most people think that when you eat low carb all you eat is bacon. You eat lots of veggies...acceptable fruits, meats. there is lots of stuff to eat!
I just lost 10 lbs....started diet and metformin March 1st
I have done atkins before. I gained 10 lbs back over 7 years but that's when I went off the diet!
Hi,
A lower calorie balanced diet is very effective for weight loss. A low carb diet causes the body to go into Ketosis whereby the body uses its fat as a source of energy. Also when you are in ketosis your body feels less hungry. This all sounds good except that this can also lead to kidney issues (even failure), osteoporosis, and kidney stones.
Stay balanced and control your calories and you'll lose weight and avoid the side effects.
Good luck.
This helps me alot maybe now my husband will get off my back about weight watchers . He is on this weight watchers diet and is doing so good well i keep telling him that i can't do both and i know i need the carbs to put in my pump . He gose no you just eat like weight watchers and add the carbs in too ur pump don't worry about the carbs is this right ? i know it sounds like the same question but it isn't .
reduction in carb intake. The lower carb you can eat the more you can lose weight and lower insulin intake. Many people who eat low carb for diabetes advocate high fat. I personally don't think this makes sense, but it especially doesn't make sense if you want to lose weight so the less fat the more you can lose weight. So non-fat yogurt, milk, etc. And of course exercise is especially helpful in combatting the insulin resistance that makes it hard to lose weight.
Yes. Exercise doesn't generally help people lose weight unless you start running - but exercise DOES help you stay motivated to stick with your diet and turn down the donuts, etc.
Any diet will work if you can stick with it. Many people find that a low-carb diet helps to reduce hunger (Atkins Diet). The "South Beach Diet" is a little more flexible but also seems to be very effective.
