Hi,
with regards to eating fruit, I would say that it depends on your blood sugar response. If your blood sugar stays in target range when you eat an apple, or a portion of an apple, then you are fine. If i makes you go high, then best to avoid fruits.
Alternative fruits such as berries and kiwi fruit tend to have less blood glucose impact compared to other sweet fruits. Size of serving also makes a difference.
Hope this helps.
Apple cider vinegar is good in the fact it is rich in minerals. I would drink a lot of distilled water with three tablespoons of acv added to a gallon. I would suggest a hair sample analysis to see how off balance you are with minerals and supplement as necessary. If you take acv straight up it can and will erode the enamel off your teeth. I would suggest chromium and other minerals for balance.
however, feel free to eat all the complex carbs you like, such as those found in veggies, whole grains, nuts, seeds, etc.
If you drink soda, eliminate that from your diet and make water your drink of choice. Many people report losing quite a few pounds with just this one change.
Make sure you eat high quality, lean protein with every meal and snack. A good snack might be an apple with peanut butter, where the apple is the fiber and the peanut butter is the protein.
2 pieces of bread: 35 grams of carbs
glassof juice : 40 grams
Apple: 25 grams
1 cup of pasta: 40 grams
I tried low carb and it works. I have weight trained for 10 years and know how to manipulate my fat percentage and it is all about when and how much carbs I am playing around with
www.bodybuilding.com is a great site to find out about macronutients
I am not saying that pasta, rice, breads are unhealthy, but we tend to take 3 cups of pasta instead of 1 cup. The same with rice ect ect.
Eat salad first in your meal it's low in calories and it makes you full and then instead of eating a 600 calorie burger, maybe switch for vegetables, lean meat et brown rice if yiu see what i mean ?
Hello!
I want to get rid if that layer of fat I have covering my abs at the moment, so that I could show off my body at the beach. Do you have any suggestions about the exercises that I could do or shouldn't do? Does eating matter a lot in this case? How long will it take to get a flat stomach?
when you eat a carb (yes fruits are carbs) eat it with a protein. An apple with a cheese stick or peanut butter. Find KIND bars at walmart. They are almost like eating a candy bar (I buy the dark chocolate ones) only 17g of carbs and only like 6 ingredients in them. A very good snack. I eat every two to three hours. The nutritionist said to try to stay around 45g of carbs for each meal and 15-20g for snacks depending on how many you eat each day. I eat 3 meals and 2-3 snacks a day.
Good luck!
Once you start checking your sugars the nutritionist will help you modify if needed. I still have sweets like sugar free jello and whipped cream in a can pretty much no carbs. I have found sugar free cookies. Over thanksgiving I did a Apple pie with splenda and all my readings were fine. Try not to stress the meal plan can take some time to adjust but it's totally worth it in the end. I'm 36 week +1 and had my ultrasound today my little guy is perfect!
Did this person tell you to cut all carbs, or just simple carbs? Vegetables are carbs. Fruit are carbs. Whole grains are carbs. Beans are a combination of protein and carbs. I think what most would advise is to avoid white flour, bagels, sweets, anything that turns to sugar quickly in your system. That's why you're craving sugar -- carbs are necessary for energy, and sugar is quick energy but also stores as fat if not burned immediately. Same with processed carbs.
wake up and prick myself to check my fasting sugar level, eat two eggs and half an english muffin, prick myself 2 hours after breakfast, eat a snack which is a small apple and cheese or half a banana and peanut butter. Then lunch ill make a sandwich with turkey, cheese, lots of lettuce, tomatoes and whole wheat bread. Have a glass of milk as well. 2 hours after lunch ill prick myself again. Basically you always need to eat a protein if you are going to have a carb.
Avoid all sweet fruits and all starchy vegetables. Even a medium sized apple has about 20g of carbs. Small amounts of berries are often considered to be low carb.
Green leafy vegetables and low carb vegetables are fine. This will include lettuce, cabbage, spinach, asian and western greens, celery, cucumber, tomato, capsicum, green beans, okra, egg plant, and others.
Hope this helps.
At first I thought it was just heat rash but later discovered it was the seafood after doing an allergy test. Around a year later I was eating an apple and started to feel extremely naseous and ended up throwing it all back up. After throwing up my lips, toungue and throat started to itch and swell up. My eyes became extremely swollen and itchy too. I took an antihistamine and my asthma pump and I was fine.
But I suppose you could always eat things that tighten up the bowels. Peanut butter. Cheese. Apple sauce. Bananas. Spinach. Red meat. Starchy carbs.
