I have read online that cutting out carbs is important for diabetes prevention, but carbs are a large part of my diet and I am pretty skinny already, so whenever I try to cut out carbs or cut down on carbs, I end up getting sick. Maybe it is coincidence, but I feel like it significantly impacts my immune system when I don't eat carbs. What should I do?
Healthy diet is high in unprocessed and minimally processed foods. This means you will eat lean meats in moderation, plenty of green and brightly colored veges, moderate whole grain cereals, some fruits - but stay away or limit portions of very sweet fruits, nuts, some dairy, healthy fats / oils.
Bad carbs could be considered those white carbs that break down quickly. This includes bread, white rice, cookies, candies etc.
It works for me. Yes, you have to watch the amount of carbs you eat but it does matter what kind of carbs they are and where they fall on the GI. As for rice, white or brown, it has the same effect on my blood sugar (a bad one!) and so I have cut it out of my diet. Pumpernickel works for me and does not spike my glucose levels. The best pasta to eat is a brand called "Dreamfields"; it is specially processed to reduce the amount of digestible carbs.
Hey there! I don't think you need to limit yourself to a certain amount of carbs per day. I would recommend trying a high protein and high fiber diet. Also try meal planning. Having a plan will ensure that you aren't going overboard on carbs, and knowing how many carbs you'll have for each meal will help you plan your bolus more correctly.
Low carb diets have been shown to be unhealthy long-term. Veggies are all carbs. Fruits are carbs. Complex carbs such as whole grains are the best source of long-term energy. Too much protein, especially animal protein, can cause kidney problems and is linked to a higher rate of cardiovascular disease.
I have been diabetic for 15 years. I have never been on a diabetic diet. I would like to know what I can eat, like how many carbs, fat, fruit, etc. Please help.
Diabetes means your Body can not control the rise of BG. What causes BG to rise... Carbohydrates Carbs raise BG ALL carbs Whole wheat, brown rice, most fruits, potato... all carbs raise BG
Steak has very few carbs so it wont effect your BG much, however the mashed potatoes will send BG through the roof.
Google "low carb hi fat diet" (LCHF) LOTS of diabetics can control there BG by eating LCHF diet without meds.
Carbs raise BG so restricting carbs will help BG.
when you say 6 units I assume you mean 6 exchanges which is 90 gr of carbs. If you take 250 mg at each meal that is 750 mg a day, the limit is 2400mg a day so you have room to go up on the Met.
It can take 6 to 8 weeks for met to become fully effective.
Make sure you watch out for the Simple Carbs..They turn right into sugar..Just try to do Complex carbs. Diet is extremely important to our Brain/Body as we are trying to heal. Keep on Keeping..This will all work it's self out. Lots of Good vit/min that we need to replenish after are Substance abuse. I can feel the change in you for the best as time goes bye.
Im coming up to 14weeks with my 3rd baby and I'm struggling to eat healthy. Before pregnancy I'd eat incredibly healthy lots of fish, veg, fruit but none of these things are appealing to me much. Every now and then but carbs are on the top of my thing's that taste better. Ive always got a strange taste in my mouth and at times puts me of eating completely which isnt like me. I was just wondering if any of you girls are experiencing the same thing.....
I have a hard time following diets because I dont like seafood or eggs. Is there anything you can recommend as a FILLING diet that wont leave e hungry and will still help me she pounds and build muscle without just cutting calories down to 500 a day?
Hi there I have recently been thought to have this as well and I had to change things on my own 9 years in the making as noone has been able to find out what is wrong til recently, a big I mean big lifestyle change needs to happen, I cannot eat gluten, alot if any carbs, no refined sugar and not alot of cane sugar either, not much dairy, no nuts, no corn syrups, no eggs, no processed foods, nitrates, or caffeine. Whole foods (veggies, steamed etc..
ive been in a very low carb diet, all what am eating is proteins (grilled red meat, grilled chicken, Tuna, salmon sometimes, a lot of greens and a very small pc of bread in the morning).
so far ive lost 154 LB in a year.
am getting sick of eating this always because i do miss burgers, i do miss chocolate and am gonna die if i dont go to cold stone :S
Question: if i stopped my diet am i gonna be fat again as i was before???
diet which operates on a different principle -- very low fat and plenty of complex carbs. I also got my cholesterol down with that diet.
----------------------------------------------
Lately, I've eased off the diet some,and am probably in phase II or III (mainteance)of the South Beach diet -- haven't read the book for awhile.
Recently quit smoking (7 months ago) gained 15lbs. I'm 5 foot even and 156lbs. Any advice I. How to lose. I have upped my exercise and I'm on a 1200 cal diet, watching carbs, eating more veggies and increased water intake. I don't want to lose fast or unhealthy. Not looking for a number on the scale just want clothes to fit better at least.
s my understanding that this type of diet does not count calories or anything other than carbs. The general basis for losing weight is "calories in/calories out" - meaning that if you take in more calories than you expend, you will not lose weight. There are instances where medical issues make this more difficult or seemingly impossible - in which case you need to deal with those issues prior to starting a weight loss regimen. I recently learned this from my own experiences.
Limit your carbs if it's medically possible - when you do eat carbs, do it in veggies, fruits, and brown rice.
Look up recipes from nutritionists and make those.
Start taking walks as often as u can.
