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 ?
I would strongly recommend bananas if you can stomach them, at some point your legs will start cramping and you will feel like you have constant Charley horses in your legs.
In currently 28 weeks along a have the worst cold. The coughing is really bad and was prescribed tessalon perles aka benzonate. Have any of you taken these? Could there be a natural remedy instead.
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.
Here my cravings list : oranges tangerines grapefruit milk and stew . Cucumber with lemon juice and salt lol . How about you ladies mamis God bless you all . Love you. ..
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.
Drink LOTS of water, maybe a gatorade if you think you need it. After 48 hours regular Immodium (not AD) is safe to take in pregnancy. Call your Dr to confirm its safe for you.
I'm 21 wks pregnant with a boy and i cant stop eating clementines and tangerines!! Love them little oranges..seriously im eating like 10 a day..is anybody else craving these too? And am I eating too many..?
I have that problem also and it took me a while to figure it out. When I eat mexican or chinese food those carbs take a long time to get in your blood. So the insulin was getting in my blood before the carbs and caused me lows. Then I would eat something or drink juice and later on my sugar would be high because of those slow carbs that finally made it to my blood. What I do know is take some insulin and 2 hours later take some more.
Watch your carbs - barley, hops - but definitely less of a sugar spike for your pancreas than a sweet soda or fruit juice. Rule of thumb, I'd probably treat it like Tylenol or paracet' - one or two shouldn't make a difference one way or the other, but some kind of soda water or plain water is even better.
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.
Maybe a sweet potato for lunch. Try to stick with healthy carbs (sweet potato, brown rice, oatmeal are my go to's) make sure you are eating any and all carbs early in the day. Also berries with honey (strawberries, black berries, blue berries, raspberries) is a great healthy snack. Honey is a slow burning carb, and berries are naturally lower in sugar than other fruits, so no sugar crash later. Honey that is locally cultivated can also help with outdoor allergies.
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.
Hey there! I don't think you need to limit yourself to a certain amount of carbs per day. I would recommend trying a high protein and high fiber diet. Also try meal planning. Having a plan will ensure that you aren't going overboard on carbs, and knowing how many carbs you'll have for each meal will help you plan your bolus more correctly.
