wendy's low carb options

Wendy's has some better options than most fast-food restaurants, but watch out for the add-ons! I recall getting a Wendy's salad one time along with a packet of dressing. It was a creamy dressing - and the fat and calorie content was about the same as a Big Mac! So - avoid the fries, have a small burger with mustard or ketchup (no mayo), salad with lite dressing, a baked potato with some chili on it - no butter/sour cream, - just make good choices, and study their nutrition guide.

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!

t spike your blood sugar. The best advice I can give is to start thinking in terms of Carb units (15 grams of carb = 1 carb unit) and try to balance your carb intake with fiber. Soluble fiber helps slow digestion and as a result minimizes spikes in blood sugar. Also meet with a diabetes educator and nutritionalist they are a great resource and can get you started on the right path. Good luck with the new adjustments, and now that you have millions of friends to lean on for support.

s emergency response to any severe PROLONGED low. When a person gets low and sends signals for the person to get some carbs into the body to fuel the brain, if this doesn't happen quickly, the body goes to its emergency plan: it sends for emergency sugars stored in the liver.

Strongly recommend that the patient adopts a very low carb, moderate protein and high (healthy fats) diet. This will lower her insulin requirements to cover food. Despite difficulty of weight loss, this should be attempted with moderate calorie restriction (this is easier on a low carb diet, as the high fat makes it quite satisfying, and using low carb veges for their filling effect. Weight loss will help reduce insulin resistance.

french fries up until a few weeks ago (thats over now, thank god, lol); btw, a craving for ice is usually a symptom for anemia/low iron. If youre not already taking iron supplements, I'd let your doc know about this craving.

Hello, the most effective diet for controlling diabetes is one that is low carb, moderate protein, and high in healthy fats. You can look up paleo (their approach is quite diabetes friendly), or mediterannean (though you may want to reduce the bread, past, etc).

High triglycerides can suppress HDL, and are associated with high VLDL. Also, high carb and low fat is what causes the preponderance of small dense LDL. The wine might help raise HDL a little bit, but will raise triglycerides even more. I'd ditch it, even though moderate alcohol is generally cardioprotective for most others. I am not a low-carb dieter myself by any means, but it's uncanny how the low-fat / high-carb seems to be going wrong for you.

Barb, I was on low-carb diet for a long time, but recently I found out that for many people like me, eating a low-carb diet may weaken the thyroid or even cause hypothyroid.

Lots of lean meat, poultry, tuna, low fat-no sugar dairy, veggies, fruits and raw nuts, cut down on pasta, rice, bananas, sugar, honey and potatoes. No alcohol, it helps, too. Good luck!
