The finding that diet quality can trump quantity is great news until you consider that many calorie-cutters fail to get the recommended daily intake for protein (46 g a day for women; 56 for men)—recommendation that some experts say is already too low. "It appears that there is a 30 gram protein threshold per meal," says metabolism research Donald Layman, PhD, professor emeritus at the University of Illinois.
Yes just don't over do it. Make sure you what your daily carb intake and sugars.
45 to 65 percent of your daily cal. intake should be from carbohydrates. If following a 1,500-calorie diet then 675 to 975 of those calories should be from carbs 168 to 240 grams of carbohydrate. On a 2,000-calorie diet, it would be between 900 and 1,300 calories or 225 to 325 grams of carbohydrate. When choosing carbs, the focus should be on healthy carb. sources, like fruits and vegetables, along with healthier complex carbs like whole grains.
Healthy carbs.
If you would like to follow me I eat low carb I eat 30 carbs a day bc I had JD and my dad died at 53 from complication to diabetes so if I eat 30 or less carbs a day my A1C is 5.3 when I eat carbs it's about a 8 so that's my happy number.
you have the typical pattern of a high-carb intake, perhaps especially sugar. High triglycerides can suppress HDL, and are associated with high VLDL. Also, high carb and low fat is what causes the preponderance of small dense LDL.
The wine might help raise HDL a little bit, but will raise triglycerides even more. I'd ditch it, even though moderate alcohol is generally cardioprotective for most others.
my doctor had me on a high protein, low fat, moderate carb diet, with certain exercises, daily and I was still gaining weight in spite of adequate thyroid hormones.
At the beginning of this year, I, finally, ditched my doctor's diet, cut my bread consumption by about 75-85%, in other words, my maximum is 1 slice of bread/day or if we have pizza, I don't get bread, etc...
It's like a everything is a fuzz. It's hard to focus and it's worse when I am standing/sitting. Parents are hypoglycaemic but I constantly have protein to level out sweets I eat. I have lots of water daily. I don't understand why I feel almost drunk. My thought process is really slow. I am always tired. What do u think?
You need to eat more balance make 50% of your grains whole, drink water not juice or soda, make you plates at meals half or more vegetables, only eat lean meats, and exercise at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes or more. Start taking vitamins. A daily Mixed B vitamin will help boost your metabolism and give you the energy you need to get going.You can do this!!!
It usually involves cutting all added sugars, grains, sweet fruits and starchy veges. Low carb is defined as less than 100g of carbs per day. Very low carb is 25 - 50 g of carb per day. When you cut carbs you still energy so you get this from increasing your fat intake and making sure you have enough protein. Enough protein can be at least 100g for a woman and probably about 120g for a man. You can use a diet tracker to work out which foods have how much carbs, protein, and fats.
Depending on your results from your blood sugar meter you may need to eat much lower carb to manage blood sugars. This is called "eat to your meter" appraoch. An alternative low carb approach recommended by Dr. Bernstein is detailed in his book "Diabetes Solutions" and also discussed on Utube at "Bernstein Diabetes University". He recommends typically about 30 g of carbs / day mostly from non-starchy veges.
You will need to experiment and see what works for you.
