When choosing carbs, the focus should be on healthy carb. sources, like fruits and vegetables, along with healthier complex carbs like whole grains.
Healthy carbs. provide fuel for the body and they also contain fiber.
whole grains cannot be identified by the color of the food, look for products that have 5 grams, or 20 percent of the daily value of fiber, per serving.
Set small goals and achieve them one step at a time. Fuel the body with good nutrients. Attitude is a big factor too. Look at food as fuel. (Which is hard I know, but try. lol) Start looking at processed junk food as the poison it really is, and as hard as it is, try to keep a positive attitude. Challenge yourself and celebrate every small success (but not with food!) and don't beat yourself up if you slip up. Changing your diet is a very difficult thing to do.
You probably can't lose fat that fast. Generally the most an average person with no special considerations can lose is about a pound a week. More can be lost through water weight with diuretics and crash dieting can also increase fat loss but only for a short time. When we lose fat too fast our metabolism will slow in order to conserve fat (fuel) deposits (starvation mode) and that creates new problems such a resetting the metabolic rate and fat gains during the plateau, etc.
Hi there im on a diet and was wondering what kind of fruits would be low carb or any kinda low carb snacks for in between meals or at lunch time ?
Your pancreas is not dead! Diabetes type 1 is when the immune system destroys part of the pancreas that produces insulin, but leaves the rest perfectly intact. Type 2 is when nothing is destroyed, but for some reason, you're either not producing enough insulin, or the insulin that you produce is not efficient enough. There's a clear distinction between the two, as type 1 is autoimmune 'disease'. In all cases the pancreas is still performing all the other functions correctly.
When exercising, the body needs extra energy or fuel (in the form of glucose) for the exercising muscles. For short bursts of exercise, such as a quick sprint to catch the bus, the muscles and the liver can release stores of glucose for fuel. With continued moderate exercising, however, your muscles take up glucose at almost 20 times the normal rate. This lowers blood glucose levels.
However, intense exercise can have the opposite effect and actually increase your blood glucose levels.
It sounds like you need a specialist that can help you with both carb counting and your insulin intake. Any changes in your insulin intake can take time to adjust. The fact that you are testing so much shows that you are trying to take care of your diabetes. Have you talked to your doctor about the highs and lows? Has your doctor talked to you about going to the pump? There are so many varibles that come into play here. I would suggest speaking to your doctor.
t forget that what goes into your mouth is a form of fuel that gives you energy and because you have diabetes, the food that you eat that is converted by the body into glucose is not being utilised properly. The only thing that doesn't cause sugar spikes or has any calories is plain water.
Hope that helps.
That is an easy one to answer.
You are over-analyzing your body because you are in a heightened state of fear. Every thing that you observe that seems frightening, like numbness, tingling etc. is adding fuel to the fire because your mind is saying, "See? I have something wrong that is unidentified."
In reality you probably don't even have ANY of these "symptom" activities you list or if you do, not any more than before.
If possible, it can be helpful to meet with a dietician or nutritionist to help you understand what foods will fuel your body without spiking your blood sugar. A regular exercise program (approved by your doctor) can also be helpful. Limiting alcohol, fried/fatty foods, and obviously strict management of your carbohydrate intake are also important.
I hope this helps.
(like 300g minimum). Is it safe to consume this amount of carbs a day to fuel my 2 hour of weight training/day, five times a week? 2 months ago my CBC and CMP came back OK with only slightly high Tris. Thank You very much.
She gained about 20 lbs the last few months and is now only drinking these advantage no sugar 2 carb protein drinks with very little to no food everyday. I don't know enough about diabetes and need some help. She also doesn't have medical insurance and hasn't seen her doctor in a few months. I have heard about diabetic comas and people dying in their sleep and am very scared for her. Do I need to be worried or is what she is doing safer than eating too much sugar?
t mention that for about the last week, about 1-2 times a day, I randomly get a VERY QUICK pain feeling in my chest that expands 2-4 inches. its kind of like a quick pain/shock kind of feeling, its hard to describe, but just know its a very quick one. I've also had my dizziness and burning to my chest return, but he thinks the burning chest sensation is my anxiety.
Do you think I'm gonna have a heart attack soon?
