FRUIT! especially citrus, but my main love affair right now is with pineapple lol! Pineapple juice, fresh pineapple, canned pineapple...anything with pineapple! And CARBS i didn't use to eat a ton of carbs but now that's all I want.
How do you eat less carbs for breakfast? I can't seem to get away from bad carbs at breakfast.
Omg I eat a fruit salad every day for lunch! I crave fruit like crazy.
Total CARBS minus fiber CARBS equals NET CARBS. Since fiber CARBS do not affect your glucose readings NET CARBS is more accurate for keeping track of intake.
How do I know how many NET CARBS are in a food? Personally, I like caloriekingdotcom for looking up foods but you can also use a paperback book of foods w/nutritional analysis or read those government analysis labels on packaged goods.
Decide on your personal goal for total daily intake of NET CARBS.
no more carbs. Eat lots of veggies, one portion of fruit only, one handful of raw nuts, low fat dairy, high fat fish, lean meat. The increase in protein will keep you from getting hungry and on the long term completely abolish any cravings. Also, no deep frying, no butter, but olive oil and canola instead. No more rice, pasta, potatoes, flour....
My Dad eats that way for 5 yearsby now, is very healthy and lost 30 kgs during the first year.
Good luck!
She does get out and exercise i am wondering is she eating too much carbs. She loves curry, rice, bolengaise, pasta stir fry, bread, home made pies and quiche not many fruit + veg i cook everything my self i dont do processed food much even pizza i use ciabatta bread or tortille or nan bread for the base she does not eat potatoes only roast on a sunday so it is hard to fill her plate in evening.
Please help i think food is a lot to do with her learning difficulties.
Pregnancy is so fun, isn't it? ha ha. But all for a wonderful cause and congratulations. You don't have to eat more than usual as that's kind of a myth. But just eat healthy when you do eat. Make each food you take in count-- lean protein, good carbs, fruits and vegi's. Are you nauseated and that is why you aren't eating?
If your on a gd diet you just have to manage your protein and carbs. You can pop something in the oven and eat meat just watch the starch you pair with it. I usually eat a lot of meat since it's carb free to help feel me up and double up on veggies and keep my bread/rice/pasta/potatos/beans to very minimal.
Oily nuts are also great. Depends on the kind of oil. Fruit, by the way, are carbs, and too many of them can be as much sugar as eating sweets. Vegetables, also carbs, are better to eat in large quantities than fruits, which are better in moderation. Complex carbs, such as whole grains, are our major source of energy. There's a lot of confusion about carbs and protein out there and their true effect on weight. It depends on which carbs and which protein you're eating.
t make you high using this method, and you can then adjust your diet accordingly. Most people find avoiding sugars and refine carbs (which can even include grains and fruits), will be the best approach.
Note: if you eat a high fat meal (pizza for example, the peak rise in blood sugar may be delayed). If you have something very sweet and without fibre such as fruit juice, your peak may occur earlier.
If you crave carbs like bread, crackers, and fruit, then you need more instant carbs. I normally only allow myself 1/4 c nuts daily, unless you eat no other carbs except meat and veggies, then you can up it to 1/2 c. Otherwise, maybe do the whole half a sandwhich and peanut butter, will fill you up more. Only do the pretzels if you crave bread.
