How do you eat less carbs for breakfast? I can't seem to get away from bad carbs at breakfast.
From your measurements both his height and weight are just below the 5th percentile for his age. He was born premature so he will falls below 'normal' children growth chart. As long as he growing and gaining weight at a steady rate, no matter how slow, he is developing normal. Suggest in place of milk (milk, fruit, and ice cream blended) or yogurt smoothies (yogurt, milk, and frozen fruit blended).
t any different than eating any other way. You need enough protein, complex carbs for energy, and antioxidant rich foods such as colored veggies and a moderate amount of fruit. That's a balanced diet for anyone of any origin. Given that if you're living in India and they've been eating a vegetarian diet there for centuries, there are a host of people there you probably know who can help you.
m sure it depend per woman but i had to see a nutritionist to make a meal plan on how many carbs i can have each meal and snacks.she had a list for me of howamy carbs are in portions of certain foods im sure you can find a good chart on google too. Id say just make sure you watch carbs.its amazing how many carbs are in everything even things i thought were healthy for you like raisin bran and bananas.
Google Glycemic Index [GI] and understand the difference between good carbs [complex] and bad carbs [simple]. Carbohydrates [simple carbs] that break down quickly during digestion and release sugar rapidly into the bloodstream have a high GI; carbohydrates that break down more slowly, releasing sugar more gradually into the bloodstream, have a low GI. As asok mentioned, watch the carbs. Carbs are wreak havoc to a t2 diabetics glucose level.

I have a listing of the number of carbs I should be eating. Do you want me to post it for you?
Women with gestational diabetes have to watch the carbs they eat. Foods with heavy carbs include grains (pasta, rice bread), starchy vegetables (potatoes, corn), fruits, dairy, and fats. I'm limited to 30g of carbs for breakfast and 45g of carbs for lunch and dinner. I can have a 15g snack between breakfast-lunch and lunch-dinner and a 30g snack after dinner. Proteins like cheese/meats/meat substitutes have negligible carbs.
Thanks for using the forum.
Diet is very important for managing your diabetes. I am sure you know that it is very important to limit your carbs because they are what raise your blood sugar. If possible, you could consult with a dietician. They can consider what you are eating now and help you to understand what changes need to be made, while incorporating the foods you currently enjoy.
We do know that ALL carbohydrates raise Blood Glucose (BG)
let me repeat that
ALL carbs raise BG
rice, pasta, potato, wheat (bread), sugar, honey, most fruit ALL contain significant amounts of carbs and will raise BG.
Get a BG (Blood Glucose) meter. Test before you eat, test 1 hour after you eat. if your BG is too high you eat too many carbs.
Too high is over 140 (US measure) 7.8 every ware else.
things which we should all avoid and the complex carbs, such as those found in vegetables, whole grains, fruit, etc. Those are the carbs that provide dietary fiber, which is necessary for good digestive health. They aren't digested as quickly as the white versions, so they won't spike your blood sugar. Do watch portion sizes, though.
Try switching to brown rice, whole grain pasta and bread, etc.
This tends to be more common with people that are overweight. Also you should try to cut back on starchy, carbs, and sweet sugary foods. Like white bread, any food that dosent have a nutrional value, and large amounts of fruit or fruit juice. This problem with candida overgrowth is also usually brought on/ or works in conjuction with a hormonal imbalance issue. Either estrogene or progestrone dominance.
carbohydrates raise BG... ALL carbs raise BG. fruit contain carbs... fruit will raise BG. Fruit juice is concentrated fruit, fruit juice is has even more sugar than fruit. fruit juice will raise BG faster than fruit. In fact fruit juice is used to treat people with low BG because it is very effective at RAISING BG
For people with T1, the ONLY treatment that works is insulin. If you are getting good numbers with using pills then you cant be T1. a BG of 113 is good numbers.
(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.
Eat plenty of carbs before workout but don't go overboard. Don't eat carbs after 7pm or so. Eat about 1g of protein for every pound of body weight per day. Fish and lean meat have lots if protein. Protein shakes will help with bulk. Don't use creatine too much, it isn't too good for your heart :/ Of course eat minimal junk food and plenty of fruit and vegtables. There are also supliments called animal cuts you should check out. They're quite good.
