As long as you stay with complex carbs, which are those in whole grains, veggies, fruits, such as apples pears, etc.you should be okay. The complex carbs are the ones that provide fiber to keep you feeling fuller longer.
Also be sure to get plenty of protein with every meal. Eggs and whole grains are excellent sources of protein, as is dairy.
The total amount of net carbs you eat in a day is one number to watch, and the total number of net carbs you eat all at once is another number to watch.
So lets say you limit yourself to 50 net carbs a day. (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.
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.
I dont crave a lot of fruit but definitely veggies!
Keep up with the fruits, but consider how much sugar they have in them. Some fruits are high in calories, but better fruit than cookies or junk food. :)
Consider eating smaller meals but snacking throughout the day. Don't go hungry, and never deprive yourself of an entire food group. Eating healthy should feel good. You shouldn't feel like you're depriving yourself too much.
And lastly, don't obsess over the scale.
Take care to avoid all dried fruits (ALL dried fruits are HIGH in fructose) and eliminate artificial fruit juices while limiting consumption of fruits highest in fructose. Fruits such as:
* Grapes, Apples, Pears, Cherries, Pomegranate, Kiwi, Blackberries, Blueberries, Watermelon, Raspberries, Starfruit, Purple Passion Fruit.
simple carbs are those found in sugary foods, white breads and regular pasta, sodas, etc. Simple carbs are broken down quickly and if not used right away for energy, will be stored as fat. These are the ones that should be avoided.
Complex carbs are those found in vegetables, most fruits and whole grains. Complex carbs are the dietary fiber we need, to fill us up. These take longer to break down and are not absorbed, as fat.
Bananas is definitely good for nausea.. If you like juices apple and orange is good.Drinking natural fruit juices is a good way to get your daily intake of fruit.
since carbs turn into surgar eat every meal and stay away from sugar that includes natural sugars like in fruits and juices.
t want to cut them out, but I understand they are a source of carbs and natural sugar. I do watch my portions, and eat about a piece of fruit with every meal. I eat breakfast, snack, lunch, another snack, and dinner. I do cheat sometimes, but my goal is to keep insulin regulated. I don't drink soda or fruit juice, just water and the occasional coffee. Any advice on diabetes prevention? I definitely don't want to develop that, and I want my body to be at its fat burning peak. Thanks!
Most fruits people think of as fruits are almost all carb. If it's not fat or protein it's carbohydrate, which is why the whole concept of low carb diets is off. Vegetables are carbohydrates, but it wouldn't be healthy do without them. What low carb really means, or should mean, is avoiding simple carbs, such as sugar and white flower. Most fruits as we think of them are high in sugar, though it's not as quick to metabolize into simple sugar as processed cane sugar.
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.
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.
