Dr. W. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "fat and happy." Well, it's not just folklore. The same carbs that make you fat (and contribute to diabetes and other problems) also make you happy. It's simple science: Carbs allow more of the amino acid L-tryptophan to penetrate your brain. The L-tryptophan triggers your brain to make more serotonin, and the serotonin makes you feel happier. It's as simple as that!
Look up I breathe I'm hungry, wonderful page with great keto recipes. Also look up diabetes daily.
Thanks!! I will try all of those.
I joined a group called Type 2 Diabetes Straight Talk on Facebook. They are an amazing group of supportive people with the same problem, and they have learned through strict diet low-carb high-fat, not only can they control her diabetes that they can really lower their numbers and get their A-1 C back where it belongs. Check them out. But be prepared for some strict, honest advice. Loads of recipes and eating guidelines.
Yep! Been there, done that! I know EXACTLY what you mean.
I am so excited to tell you about what worked for me. And there are no gimmicks, pills, powders, etc...just real food. It's called LCHF, and it is based on low carb, moderate protein and high fat way of eating. Best part is that no calorie counting, eat until full. Also, it canceled my cravings and I no longer snack anymore.
I'm not a good cook so my parents and I eat out a lot. My Momma is handicap and Dad works a lot so we never really have a good meal. I want to start eating better for the baby. I'm 19 weeks and 5 days! I do snack On fruit but that's about it besides delivery pizza or fast food or panera or olive garden. Haha. Do you guys have any ideas on stuff that's good for me and baby but also tastes yummy that's easy to cook!!? I hate any type of seafood FYI! Hahaha help please!
Eating a low carb diet is the best option. Eat lean protien sources like fish, chicken, beef. For essential fats eat salmon, olive oil, almonds. the only carbs should come from fruit and vegetables. Drink only water not juice.
Is the "flaxseed meal" you speak of come already ground up? I have read that flaxseed does no good unless it's ground up.
Hi,
the best diet / meal approach for managing both overweight and prediabetes is a low carb one. You avoid all added sugars, and restrict grains and fruits. You can eat as much non-starchy vegetables as you want. Along with reasonable amounts of protein and fats (unprocessed is best). If you want a diet approach to look up - look into Paleo or Primal-style eating.
Don't be scared to eat. But select the right foods. Unprocessed foods.
