Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / July 2006friend asked me to ask a question
Here is the senario: Its 830 at night, she has reached her calorie and carb count in both for maintaining weight. She has a choice a slice of smart beat cheese at 25 calories with 5 grams carb, or reg. cheese 90 calories with less than one gram carb. This is the question she threw at me, what should she choose providing the answer says dont eat , because she is gonna eat one or the other . She has reached both cal and carb limit so whats the best damage control? < > Here is the senario: Its 830 at night, she has reached her calorie > and carb count in both for maintaining weight.

The best damage control is for her to go brush her teeth and use a mouthwash. After swilling that stuff around, she won't even feel hungry at all! Pat in TX I disagree. Eat something like cheese with protein and fat. If I go to bed hungry or wake up hungry in the night I will have trouble sleeping, if I don't get enough sleep I am hungry all the next day. Brushing my teeth doesn't make me not hungry.

If you gargle that mouthwash stuff it will kill the desire to eat when you're not hungry. It's not the brushing of the teeth--it's the terrible mouthwash that does it. Pat in TX I guess I didn't think she would be eating anything unless she was hungry.

Either way, a piece of cheese probably won't satisfy her for very long. I drink a low carb (1gm) protein drink (not 100% whey) with a little coconut oil before I go to bed. That always satisfies me until morning. A small piece of beef jerky might work - it would take time to eat it and the flavor would stay > Either way, a piece of cheese probably won't satisfy her for very long. > I drink a low carb (1gm) protein drink (not 100% whey) with a little > coconut oil before I go to bed.

Or a cucumber, sliced, topped with herbs. Or cucumber slices, topped with slivers of cheese, topped with herbs. (string cheese is 80 cal mozzerella, less than 1 carb) If you take a minute to fix a plate with the cuc and cheese, you can feel you are getting something more. It takes more time to eat, when if you are eating it slower, you will feel more as if you've consumed substance, than if you just wolf down a piece of cheese. the main question she had was if at her limits of both carbs and calories do you go for low carb or lower cal with more carb, she was alread over so and was going to eat. So need what would be best for the sake of damage control. > > I disagree. Eat something like cheese with protein and fat.

If you are strictly controlling carbs, then you should be more relaxed about calories anyway. For this reason, and because I personally prefer natural foods ("smart beat" sounds like a processed diet product - apologies if I'm mistaken) then I would opt for the regular cheese. |
