Whole grain cereal
Fruit and yogurt
Whole grain toast with peanut butter, fruit
Hard boiled egg
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.
Suggest in place of milk (milk, fruit, and ice cream blended) or yogurt smoothies (yogurt, milk, and frozen fruit blended). Add dry milk to oatmeal, mashed potatoes, gravies, creamed vegetables, and creamed soups (add additional meats to soups). This will give him additional calories and protein for weight gain. Use all regular dairy products and no low fat foods so he gets the calories he needs. Hoped this helped you.
for a great smoothie try this, peanut butter, Fat-Free Milk, Blueberries, Low-Fat Vanilla Yogurt, Raspberries, Fat-Free Chocolate Frozen Yogurt, Pineapple-Orange Juice, Cherries,
Bananas, Whey Protein, Frozen Mangoes, a little Ice
peanut butter-packed with protein, manganese, and niacin, peanuts can help stave off heart disease.
Fat-free milk has All the calcium and protein, none of the fat.
ll eat a yogurt, make a glass of chocolate milk with an extra spoonful of nesquik in it (the milk is healthy, right?), eat a frozen yogurt, etc. There is actually a technical reason, in PMS, the hormone cortisol spikes and serotonin dips. This change up/fluctuation causes the craving. It's all hormonally based -- we crave sugar and fried foods during this time because of this.
Carbs raise BG so restricting carbs will help BG.
when you say 6 units I assume you mean 6 exchanges which is 90 gr of carbs. If you take 250 mg at each meal that is 750 mg a day, the limit is 2400mg a day so you have room to go up on the Met.
It can take 6 to 8 weeks for met to become fully effective.
if you can stick to it for 3-7 days, you will feel a noticeable change in your body. If you have to have carbs, do the healthy kind, but really give it a try, just for a couple of weeks. It is a great jump start for any diet and you will feel your belly seem instantly less bloated and feel less hungry and munchy all of the time. Eat lots of fiber to stay full. Good luck!
I have serious sweets cravings alot too. I try to at least make sure that whatever I'm eating is low in something, either fat or sugar or carbs. Like angel food cake is fat free and I'll dip it in fat free cool whip. It still has alot of carbs. But it's better than eating a big piece of chocolate cake that's got the carbs and the fat. (Warning: do NOT get the fat free AND sugar free angel food cake tho! i got severe gas and gas pains for like 24 hours!!!
Try nutrient dense drinks 2-3 a day, either purchase them, such as Ensure or Boost, or make your own milkshakes - milk, ice cream, and frozen fruit blended or yogurt smoothies - yogurt, milk, and frozen fruit blended for additional calories, protein and nutrients to help increase your weight. If your weight does not slowly increase from above, suggest going to your doctor to get your thyroid checked. Hoped that helped you.
White carbs (white bread, flour pasta, crackers, white rice, pastries, donuts, etc)
Sugar (no white or brown sugar, no sugar substitutes, no honey)
No soda (no regular or diet soda)
No fruit juice (unless organic, all natural and unsweetened)
No energy drinks, gatorade etc.
I am pregnant and have bought haagen dazs frozen yogurt yesterday. As I was enjoying it, I saw a red thingy in my vanilla yogurt, which should not had been there. I actually saw it on my spoon, and the reason I looked at it is that it tasted weird ( but not salty nor it had metal taste to it) . At first I saw nothing of it, but then saw a story about that Canadian family that needed to taste for HIV after finding a catheter in theie ice cream.
So my question is this.
If you do eventually stay away from milk based food as part of your lifestyle at some point try either a small amount of yogurt or frozen yogurt "icecream" as yogurt based dairy food presents far fewer problems for us lactose intolerant folks. I'm thoroughly lactose intolerant yet I can have a half scoop of frozen yogurt (when my friends are diving into their icecream cones) and I have no problems! Check out Ben & Jerry's frozen yogurt.
Healthy would be lots of vegetables (even if you buy frozen and nuke them), low carbs - such as only 1 piece of bread per day, very little to no sugar and lean meats. And regular exercise. My concept of a healthy breakfast would be vegetables, such as California blend of carrots, broccoli and cauliflour, top with a couple cooked eggs and some fresh salsa (such as pico de gallo). I also do a veggie drink made in my vitamix - kale, spinach, ginger, lemin juice, cilantro and an apple.
If u feel u must eat something, try frozen blueberries. One ounce is only 16 calories and since they are frozen they take more time to eat. Best snack by far! U can also search 10 calorie snacks and find a list of things like two strawberries, one peanut m&m. Sometimes thst tiny lil bit is all it takes.
I do cheese sticks.
Hopefully it will increase her interest in food. Suggest giving her milkshakes (ice cream, fresh fruit or frozen fruit, milk) or yogurt smoothies (yogurt, fresh fruit, and frozen fruit) instead of formula and for additional calories, protein, and vitamins and minerals. She can help make them, too. For her age infant formula will not provide the nutrients she needs. The most important thing is to RELAX. Let her eat what she wants.
