I think you're making a common mistake in thinking about food, which is that protein is good and carbs are bad. This isn't at all true -- the majority of your diet should be carbs. Vegetables, for example, the core of a healthy diet, are carbs, whereas beef is very high in fat on purpose and hard to digest despite being high in protein and so is never weight-loss food.
m trying to give e my body a break from carbs to increases my insulin sensitivity, and establish some baselines on how many carbs I can eat and still get fasting reading below 100.
I'm not sure how to interpret these results. It looks like I can hardly eat carbs at all without going into predisbetic range, but the app says all my readings are in a healthy range and estimates my A1C at 5.7%, saying I'm very low risk.
I know that the app is not a diagnostic tool.
Trying to figure out How many carbs & sugars should you have? Can someone give me some insight?
Cut your daily intake of net carbs (total carbs minus fiber) by 10 grams. You may have exceeded your carbs while losing weight and stumbled upon your tolerance for maintaining your new weight. Once weight loss resumes, move up in five-grams at a time.
Watch out for sources of sugar and starches. Read labels carefully, Sauces, beverages and packaged foods all could have more sugar or starches than your body can handle.
You need carbs to live. Look up how carbs help you and how they don't. Make sure you are taking prenatals as well!
If you start a meal tracker for yourself you can enter each food you eat or plan to eat and it will tell you how many carbs are in it (also how many fat and protein grams, and calories). To get your trackers go the the top of the screen and click on "My Med Help", click on "Trackers" and you will come up with a list of trackers, you can then add the meal tracker.
I don't know how big you are, but most likely you'd need somewhere around 2,000 calories a day.
hi, the problem isn't really in the 'amount' Spence is eating the problem is 'what' he is eating....dry food=CARBS....high carbs.
as you've already stated he is eating less than the recommended amount already so that isn't the problem, as with people, cats too gain weight when they consume a diet high in carbs and dry food is loaded in carbs...grains even potatoes anything for FILLERS. they are getting more fillers than actual protien.
I can't stop and I don't want to die. Does anyone have food issues and how do you deal?
preferably with NO carbs b/c many cats have allergies to carbs. for a list of carb free canned diets check out the site I gave above...on the right hand side of her column...BEST COMMERCIAL CANNED FOODS.
if you are going to change the food also read on that site HOW TO TRANSITION from dry food to wet.....you have to do so slowly, most cats don't lke carb free cans b/c they sure don't taste as good without all the additives so it take a slow transition.
They are a factor, but how you metabolize your food and how well you digest it is far more important. A generalization is that belly fat is caused by the consumption of excess simple carbs, ergo the term beer belly. On the other hand, no individual is a generalization. You don't say what your overall diet or exercise level is like, so it's impossible to be very specific here. Since you're doing pretty well overall, it might just be this is who you are.
t determine your carbs by the number of calories. You have to determine how many carbs are in each serving of the individual foods you eat, as listed on the package/container.
For instance a serving of bread might have 12 grams of carbs listed on the package.
