That's fantastic result, Osakarose! AHA recommended 20g of daily sugar intake for women and 40g for men. I also have a friend who has halved her triglyceride level and LDL since she started paleo/low-sugar diet. I think the trick is to increase one's fat intake to take the place of carbohydrates and limit protein to 20-25% of the daily calorie intake. Don't starve, OK???
Hi.
Have you seen a doctor about this? Have any tests been run? I don't know how old you are, but your lifestyle makes you less at risk for type 2 (do you have a family history), and possibly more at risk for adult onset type 1 (this may be much slower onset than in children).
Physiologist Joel Stager, director of the Human Performance laboratory at Indiana University. His latest study, published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, names this kids' favorite an optimal post-exercise recovery aid.
Take a look at chocolate milk's ingredient list. For a high-endurance athlete, Stager's team sees it as a catch-all workout recovery drink.
The same things that work for non-diabetics trying to lose weight work for diabetics. Reduce caloric intake and increase exercise. Many of us believe in low carb eating and the lower carb you eat you will also lose weight. Be sure if you do this to reduce your insulin intake as it will also lower your blood sugar. Obviously lowering fat intake will also help lose weight and you will have to eat a lot more vegies, salads, and more lean meat (skinless chicken or fish) to compensate.
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.
Other helpful natural means to control include exercise and normalizing weight.
Hope this helps.
I grew up knowing what the science was wrong about saturated fat and salt intake based on what my Grandfather ate. I was waiting for the day they admitted they got it wrong...and it seems the time has finally arrived. O_O Pigs are a flying lol.
Earth shattering, pigs flying, Hell freezing nutrition...
I got to lose Wight ,be for it kills me . I have always had bad health , and trouble just walking. Now with a bad back and other health problems from that. How do you lose over 100 lb. When you trouble just trying to walk.
if you cut down on the fat whilst still eating a balanced diet you should notice a marked improvement in ur weightloss. if ur fond of biscuits for e.g. then make it a plain tea or digestive and no more than 2 at a time. use lean meat and trim off excess if there is any. dry fry stuff or grill/oven bake more and always drink loads of water, if u dnt like plain water add a little sugar free diluting juice to it.
It should pretty much always be below 120 for persons who are truly non-diabetic (and this can even be a target for people with diabetes who are trying to maintain excellent control.
However, peak blood sugars are usually 1 1/2 - 2 hours after eating (except in some people with diabetes who have a bad case of dawn phenomenon - high blood sugars in the morning upon waking) - so this below 120 also encompasses the 2 hours after eating..
I had it bad my first pregnancy I ate three meals and two snacks a day the trick is to watch your carb intake I seen a dietician and was told for breakfast to eat no more than two carb allowance which was thirty grams each fifteen grams is equal to one carb. The best things to eat was meat and veggies salads and morning eggs and bacon.
In some cases, it absolutely can be controlled by watching your diet- making sure to eat those things that are not just 'healthy' but watching the carb intake in those things too. There are some cases that you will need the medications for- but regardless, healthy eating habits can only improve your condition.
