(net carbs is total carbs minus fiber carbs.) A snack is sometimes suggested to be 15 net carbs. (Yum, chunk of cheese and handful of pecans!) Offhand I dont know the net carb of an apple but you can look that up and think about it.
When the sugar levels in your blood are too high, the blood becomes abrasive to your body.
If you eat all of your carbs all at once, your blood sugar will go higher than if you ration it out over the course of a day.
Whats everyone having for breakfast?ill be having sausage eggs bacon and pancakes !
If its due to the possibility of gaining weight, chill out babe. I went for a few years totally avoiding carbs and I lost weight! I ended up going through a bit of depression and started not caring about weight gain. Gained about 10 kilo's Now I'm on a diet and having some carbs. I feel much fuller and healthier for introducing it to my diet. I'm still losing weight. Slowly though because I am type 1 diabetic.
It seems as though many of you JDRF volunteers who are also diabetic have had it for a long time without any complications. I was wondering how you managed your diabetes and how strict you are with your diet, like do you only eat set meals throughout the day and stay away from foods with a high glycemic index? If you do eat foods with a high GI, like a banana, do you wait a while after taking your insulin to give it a headstart?
Hi Mia,
It sounds like what you're experiencing may be "yeast die off". A lot of people have a systemic yeast problem, and don't even know it. They feed off the simple sugars that all carbs break down into. I know it's extremely uncomfortable. Honestly, the only thing to do is simply stick with it for a few days. For me, after about three days the craving goes from near mania down to simple desire- but one you can control.
I gained about 10 lbs. In nursing school and would like to drop 10-15 pounds by July 2014 for my wedding. Does anyone have any tips?
I found out I was a diabetic when i found out I was pregnant i thought the same thing that I couldn't eat anything what really does it is the carbs if you eat carbs just eat a little and no sweets at all
Pasta is the traditional night before meal. Plenty of carbs, low on the protein. Breakfast should be light, maybe scrambled eggs, toast, banana and probably no later than 5:30 AM. Not sure about whole wheat anything unless your kids are used to it already.
I gave a comment here and the post shows I commented but I don't see it. Maybe it will show up some day but the website seems to be having a host of problems. Basically, carbs aren't all created equal, and calories are not your best source of tracking weight. Calories are one factor, but how well and how quickly you metabolize your food into sugar for energy is more determinative, as foods that turn quickly into sugar have to be burned off quickly or they store quickly as fat.
Last pregnancy I gained over a hundred pounds. Ice already gained twenty:( . Need a. Alternative way to feel better. For some reason I'm sick as all heck unless I eat every hour on the hour.
Vegetables always seem to make me feel full. When i eat foods with a lot of unhealthy carbs i always seem to still be hungry. I hope this helps!
) Is it possible you are not eating what your body needs for you to get through the night not hungry? A well balance meal, with simple sugar (such as fruit), carbohydrates, protein, and fat? First the body burns the sugar for energy, then the carbs get used, then protein, and lastly fat is used. I know the problem from personal experience!
a bag of low fat torilla chips and a water and a sugar free drink. afternoon snack is usually a banana or an kind of fruit. For dinner he eats a large portion of meat, some kind of starch (rice or potatoes)
and ususally 2 different vegetables broccoli or green beans.
At 8 o'clock he is starving again. He gets a lite snack sugar free jello or pudding and goes to bed and then he wakes up starving sometimes during the night or in the morning he acts like he never ate before.
