I keep my calorie intake at 1500 cals a day, the first month it went amazing. Lost inches and weight. But now, i can't seem to loose any weight. Sometimes i eat a slice of pizza, or have french fires but i always keep my calories at 1500. if i eat these "bad" foods i gain weight over night.
Do i have to completely deprive my self in order to keep loosing weight/inches?
It varies Person-to-Person, just as food does. Usually 45 carbs per meal and 15 carbs per each snack(usually 3 a day). Eat in moderation. Have one potato not the whole bag. Meats and most cheeses are very low carb or carb-free. Look at the label. Do not eat junk food or a lot of food before bed. Meats, cheeses on 4-6 crackers, peanut butter on a slice of brown bread, etc. will do.
4th. If you are over-weight, try your Best to lose some.
One to two weeks before you begin training, you should eat at least three servings per day of protein, which equals a piece of meat the size of a deck of cards or one half cup of legumes. Choose to eat more legumes because the high fiber content in beans will prevent constipation.
Eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables per day to provide your body with the minerals and nutrients needed for healthy weight gain before training.
I buy a pack of ham steaks from the market and pan fry them(without butter or oil or anything) add a slice of american cheese on top and eat them like a ham sandwich but bread-free. I ate 3 . And my glucose level is in the normal range after I checked. Filled me up too. Like the previous lady said, meat can be a great filler-upper. Just watch how you prepare it and try not to eat too much bread, potato es, and white colored pastas.
Building muscle? Double up on a couple of the items—have an extra slice of pizza or two containers of yogurt.
Breakfast: 6-8:30 a.m.
Mix protein and quality carbs. "When protein is included in a meal, not only does it help prevent overeating at other times of day, but it also sustains energy levels and improves concentration," says Bonnie Taub-Dix, M.A., R.D., C.D.N., an ADA spokeswoman.
Try having a 250 calorie breaky, with protein, such as an egg-white omlette, turkey bacon and a slice of light rye toast. Have 1/2 a cup of fibre cereal with 1% milk. (Hot sauce is a great perk-up!)
Have a 100 calorie snack, like an apple or yogurt.
15 minutes before lunch, have a 100 calorie snack, like a light baby bell and a pepperette.
Have a normal lunch (protein, carb, veggies and a slight oil)
Have another 100 calorie snack, like peanut butter and 5 crackers.
2 slices of buttered cinnamon raisin bread (30g of carbs), 3 slices of Turkey bacon and 1 scrambled egg.
Lunch: a Turkey sandwich with cheese (heated up) (30g for the 2 slices of bread) and a side of 1 serving of fruit (15g)
Dinner: 1/2 cup potato or pasta or 1/3 cup rice (15g), some type of meat (protein), a non-starchy vegetable, a serving of fruit (15g) and a dinner roll (15g)
Snacks: Greek yogurt (15-17g), a protein bar (17g), a serving of fruit (15g), string cheese, cottage cheese, 1 oz.
Most of all I made sure I was ready to never eat another slice of pizza again. It took at least four months for me to psych myself into changing my eating habits after I chose a lifestyle diet.
For the first time in my life I can sit in a pizza restraurant and not even want a slice. The diet I chose gives me exactly what I want. I think researching what I really wanted and what was causing me harm was the best thing I did. I not only lost all of my weight but I am healthier than ever.
When buying bread yes whole grain but you need to look on how many carbs per slice. That's usually 1 piece of bread in the morning. Protein comes in many forms such as cheeses, eggs, beans, nuts. Those are good snack ideas.
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.
On the weekends I do splurge more, for example on Saturday I may have 3 slices of pizza instead of the salad for lunch. And on Sunday I may have a burger and fries at a restaurant for one meal. And I may have a serving of ice cream at some point too. I have heard eating “low carb” can cause your blood sugar to go extra high when you do splurge on carbs, so I wonder if that is what is happening with me? I don’t know if my usual 130ish carbs counts are “low carb” though?
There is increasing support for very low carb diets to manage blood sugars. These diets typically contain about 5 % of carbs (20 - 30g of carbs from non-starchy vegetables, nuts, full fat dairy (excluding milk) and a few selected fruits), 15 - 20 % protein (about 1 - 2 g / kg of body weight), and the balance of energy required coming from unprocessed and healthy fats (excluding solvent extracted vegetable oils which are increasingly recognized as unhealthy).
I just went to get a slice of pizza and the server dropped the box he was going to use onto the floor for a second. He then put my slice of pizza into the box but the slice may have rubbed against the part of the box that had touched the floor before it went in.
Could this be dangerous if the floor of the pizza place was very dirty?
If so, what could the consequences be and how long would it likely take before I got sick.
Low carb diets can work very well for managing diabetes. Low carb diet can have carbs amount as low as about 5% of 20 - 30 g of carbs per day. These carbs will come mostly from non-starchy veges.
You can check out Dr Richard Bernstein Diabetes University on U-tube. You can also check out keto groups such as ketogains, which focus on adequate protein, limiting carbs, and healthy fats for energy balance.
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.
i believe you should take more time to lose that much weight.start slow then pick up habit and then keep up the pace.drink lots of fluids and no to every junk food...consult a dietician i would say because it may help you to keep the pace and lose weight.
However, I think you know your erratic eating behavior is leading you towards being a full blown type 2 diabetic. Eating a slice of pizza [not 2 or 3 from a large] and a couple handfuls of plain slightly salted popcorn is tolerable. Anymore the carbs in these foods will jack up your glucose levels as you attested to in your post as well mess with your body weight.
