Yes, look out for what you consume, any carbohydrate rich foods is very fattening, this includes but it not limited to: sugars, chocolate, bread (dark or white), pasta, rice, potatoes, fries, most sauces, carrots, broccoli, most fruits (avocado is ok though), all yogurts and other dairy products that have sugars added.
Carb low is: meat all kinds including fish, cheese, vegetables most of them.
I want to eat food that is good for me and baby, but the thought of my go to health food (things like broccoli, which usually I love) make me feel even more nauseated. Nachos? Other carb rich foods? Bring em on! It feels like unhealthy food is the only appealing choice. I think it's because they're comfort foods and I feel crummy.
It would help if I had a list of foods to go grocery shopping for, and what I could or couldn't eat.
Carbohydrates break down into sugars easily, so healthy carbohydrates such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes such as beans and peas and low-fat dairy products should constitute the majority of this food group. Fiber-rich foods such as vegetables, nuts, legumes and whole grain products help to control blood sugar levels and are excellent choices as part of a diabbetic diet. Fish are a good source of protein and a healthy alternative to higher-fat options such as red meat.
Actually, most foods bother me. I've gotten rid of all processed foods from my diet as well as caffeine and sweets. I'm eating basic, fresh, organic food. I've tried keeping a food diary but it's been really inconsistant (sometimes chicken makes me sick, sometimes it doesn't). It's pretty much this way with most foods. However, it does seem that iodine rich, spicy and salty foods make it worse.
It's hard to find any hard evidence one way or the other when using Google, so i'm presenting my question to this community in hopes of some guidance. Thanks!
The December 2010 issue of “Science” reported experiments designed to decrease response to certain types of foods. People who repeatedly imagined eating a particular food ate less of it. The researchers theorize that the act of mental imagery decreased the subjects’ responsiveness to the food and decreased desire to eat it even though they still considered the food palatable.
I love spicy food and continue to eat it (I am pregnant) I was reading some very interesting research about trying different foods and how it's healthy for the baby (except for food that's been put off the table like fish rich in mercury, raw eggs etc we have to stay away from the unsafe food during pregnancy) but other than that if ur tummy can handle it by all means eat spicy :) but make sure u are eating all the nutrients and minerals necessary as well.
t think you have to cut out ALL other foods, just try to avoid anything real rich or sugary, or heavy with fats or carb-loaded. Hopefully that helps. I of course, don't know your medical background, so can't answer 100% what would be safe for you, given your history. BUT. Maybe put a call in to the nurse who works with your family doctor and ask her to help you decide what would be safe for you personally. Feel better soon.
They will give you energy and help burn off fat very quickly. Eliminate sugary foods and foods rich in ghee, butter from your diet. Drink lots of water every day it will help speed up your metabolism and burn more calories. Walk when you can. Instead of calling someone in the office walk to their desk. Instead of shouting to your spouse or kids walk to them. Increase your daily activity as much as possible. Continue with your diet restriction and exercises. All these will help.
As a general guideline when eating low carb the easiest way is to cut out all grains and added sugars. No sweetened foods either. Fruits will be limited to small portions of low carb fruits such as berries.
Plenty of salad and non-starchy vegetables, particularly green vegetables. Fats should come naturally with the foods (such as fatty meats, avocado, nuts, full-fat dairy) and avoid processed fats.
Let us know what your a1c is.
Hope this response is helpful for you.
You need to be sure you are using the right Insulin Carb ratio for your doses before meals and that you have an accurate carb count. Calorieking.com is a good resource for carb listings in addition to what's on packages (and be sure to correctly measure servings). In order to gain weight you want to increase your protein and fats so that you can gain weight without increasing carbs.
