Consume more complex carbohydrates, such as brown rice, brown pasta and whole wheat bread, one to two weeks before you begin your training program. Complex carbs contain energy in the form of glucose, which will provide your muscles with the necessary fuel before you begin training. Complex carbs contain essential nutrients and minerals that will help your body develop after working out. A slice of wheat bread, or one half cup of white or brown rice, is a serving of complex carbs.
Diabetes means your Body can not control the rise of BG. What causes BG to rise... Carbohydrates Carbs raise BG ALL carbs Whole wheat, brown rice, most fruits, potato... all carbs raise BG
Steak has very few carbs so it wont effect your BG much, however the mashed potatoes will send BG through the roof.
Google "low carb hi fat diet" (LCHF) LOTS of diabetics can control there BG by eating LCHF diet without meds.
Whole wheat bread is wheat that is not milled as much so it contains the wheat fibers (that is why it is darker in color) as opposed to white bread. Soft wheat does not have much fiber as whole wheat bread. Multi-grain and whole grain breads have added grains/seeds, such as oatmeal, and sesame seeds. The label will list the additional 'grains'.
s own has some low cal, low carb whole wheat with fiber,white and honey wheat bread. I usually have one slice toasted for breakfast with 2 eggs and cheese (free carbs) of course I'm not an expert, just been learning as I go. I still have quite a ways until my due date. It's a lot of trial and error as you learn. I also never deprive myself. I do portion control. If I want pasta and garlic bread I'll have a small portion of it and lots of salad or veggies.
I eat hi carb foods, or low carb foods, and my blood sugar does not come down when I eat the low carbs, it stays in the 130-140 range even then. I eat whole wheat bread, and sometimes do go to hi carb foods, and then it peaks up in the hi 160's. I am on Trajenta, have lost 19 lbs, and walk 3-4 times a week. Recently I had two injections of steroids, but it was two weeks ago, so I doubt that is the cause.
Harvard Medical School--
So eating whole wheat is not necessarily doing much for
diabetes, but I guess the other changes he implemented, made the difference you mentioned.
Now the question is, since he has a metabolic dysfunction, did the continued consumption of carbs lead to candida(a yeast overgrowth infection), did he have it before and if he did it perhaps predispose him to a parasitic infection?
So in addition to following a low fat/low cholesterol diet(avoid red meat, egg yolks, full-fat dairy, processed baked goods, shrimp, meat sausages, fatty pork etc), try to avoid simple carbs and instead go for more complex carbohydrates in one-serving portions(brown rice, whole wheat bread and pasta, whole grain cereals).
Try to limit simple carbs such as white flour -- eat whole wheat roti or spelt if you can find it (a grain native to India that's much better for you than wheat) and avoid the white flour naan, for example. The other side of it is to increase your output of energy, meaning exercise, from whatever you're doing now.
The most common food allergens, contrary to the post above, are dairy and wheat, so the first thing I'd try for what is probably an allergy problem is to avoid those from your diet and see if your sinus problems improve. Pastas can be fine as long as they're made from whole grains that aren't wheat, though in moderation. Bread can be fine if it's the right kind, meaning whole grain and traditional sourdough and not wheat, but again, in moderation.
If you are still using white bread try switching to wheat, spelt, rye bread etc.
You want to eat whole grains, fruits, vegetables, avoid trans fat and bad carbs like white bread, opt for whole wheat instead. IF your doctor has cleared you for exercising, start with walking, you can do this anywhere and at your own pace. Also, it's best to eat very small healthy meals every 3-4 hours instead of 3 bigger ones. This keeps you full and your metabolism at it's peak! Good luck to you!
