Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / October 2007trying to control my diet
I am on a five carb 2000 calorie diet and i am haveing the hardest time can you help me figure out what things i can eat and what things i cant because i have been struggleing with this since march. when i found out that i have diabetes > I am on a five carb IMHO, five carbs is way too low, even for someone with diabetes. If this is the only reason why you're low carbing, you should (gradually) find out the MOST carbs you can have WITHOUT a problem-sized insulin spike. That's going to be a magic number that's different for everyone but once you find it, it will make it a lot easier for you to find foods to eat. Eventually you'll learn which foods have sufficient proteins, fats, and fibers to slow down the digestion of the carbs you eat, which reduces the insulin problems diabetics have. Find a balance that works for you, don't try to be extreme if it isn't called for. If you have an Atkins book, read the seconds on ongoing weight loss, maintenance, and the CCLL and CCLM numbers. > > I am on a five carb > > IMHO, five carbs is way too low, even for someone with diabetes.

That would be much more sensible, but if so, the OP needs to be more clear, esp on this forum where a "carb" is a gram of carbohydrate. Of such misunderstandings are major problems born. >>> I am on a five carb >> IMHO, five carbs is way too low, even for someone with diabetes. > > Unless the "prescription" was for 5 carb exchanges, which would be 75 > grams of carb. Either way, there's no way to know if it's too low or too high cause diabetes is not a one-size-fits-all type of deal; you have to test your bg to know if you're overeating carbs or if you can tolerate a bit more. If the OP's "struggles" with low-carb have to do with cheating, I'd suggest doing a week or two of induction to break the overall carb addiction. Then add carbs back in gradually, mostly from non-starchy veggies and low-sugar fruits, until you find the ideal carb level. Weight loss in only one variable; diabetics must eat low enough carb to manage bg also: http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/NewlyDiagnosed.htm Signaturehttp://www.ornery-geeks.org/consulting/ On Oct 24, 12:34 am, tatecharlen...@gmail.com wrote: > I am on a five carb 2000 calorie diet and i am haveing the hardest > time can you help me figure out what things i can eat and what things > i cant because i have been struggleing with this since march. when i > found out that i have diabetes We have a wonderful product called Gone4Good that breaks down the glycemic index of the foods you eat at meal time which will help you a lot! check out my website and search out the products that will best benefit you, by the way all of our products are herbal and all natural. Wellness 101 Hi, my name is Willie Faison and I'm sending this to you because I care about whats happening to us and our families. I'm doing this to inform you and to help you if you're looking for help in weight-loss or well-being. As Americans we enjoy one of the most luxurious lifestyles on earth and it's killing us. Why, because our food is plentiful, our work is automated and our leisure is effortless. This lifestyle has caused many Americans to become overweight. We're fat not only because we eat a lot, but also we eat the wrong things. Adult women are now eating 335 more calories per day then they did in 1971. And adult men have increased their daily intake by 168 calories. We each ate 1,775 pounds of food in 2000, up from 1,497 pounds in 1990. In America we've increased our intake of carbohydrates. Sugars and starches have become the staples of the American diet. The food pyramid guidelines told Americans to avoid fat and eat grains, but the grains we are eating are flour-based items such as; pasta tortillas and hamburger buns, which have little or no nutritional value at all. As a result we're loaded up on pasta and bread, causing the low fat message to backfire. Currently we're eating more vegetables as we follow the USDA's food guide pyramid issued in 1992 but there are serious flaws in it because some vegetables listed like iceberg lettuce could have been substituted for healthier choices with much higher nutritional values like romaine, spinach. You should be aware that high-fat-carbohydrate meals raise your cholesterol levels and send your blood sugar soaring! Which puts you at greater risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. To make matters worse nutritionists are explaining the dangers of inflammation of the blood vessels, which cause soft tissue damage to your joints! Our body mass index (BMI) is a measurement of body weight relative to height. A person with a BMI OF 30 or more is considered obese - and at a higher risk of disease, such as diabetes, stroke, osteoarthritis, heart disease and other forms of serious cancer. Obesity-related diseases cost the United States more than 100 billion dollars annually. In 2005, being overweight is predicted to surpass smoking as the leading cause of preventable death in the country. "AFTER ALL WE ARE WHAT WE EAT" THAT'S REASON ENOUGH TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY FROM THE PITFALLS OF OBESITY! A solution for great health & wellness and disease prevention is Suddenly Slim! Suddenly Slim by First Fitness is a powerful combination of three specially formulated, all natural herbal products with an easy-to- follow eating program.

Not too fond of the starchy veggies either; for the most part, they're very much tasteless, boring foods with little nutrition for the calories. And I'd rather eat fresh beans and peas than the dried versions. I think it's better advice to eat 10-12 servings of all sorts of veggies, of as many colors as possible, with deeper colors being better than lighter colors. Signaturehttp://www.ornery-geeks.org/consulting/ Helllo, I have just started my diet, and restricted my food to: -egg whites, fried, with chicken spice -low fat, low carb fresh chease 1pound=410kcal with chicken spice. -plenty of water once a week I have some food like vegetables of fruits I have lost 8 pounds in 23days You should find pro advice. And also get a second opinion. Every person is different, so get an expert opinion. Bastardo, Why don't you restrict your food to: - That should speed up your loss! Good luck. > Helllo, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > You should find pro advice.

Maybe, but it tastes so good, and I lost weight without working out. (2,7% of body weight in 23 days) A better spice is kebab spice, which contains garlic powder with pepper. Garlic is an antioxidans, and pepper is speeding up metabolism. Also, both taste fantastic. I usualy buy a 500g Meggle fresh diet cow cheese, eat a hole inside, put kebab spice, pour milk over that and than mix. When milk is mixed with cheese, apsorption is slower so you don´t feel hungry at all. And if I do feel hungry, I take a low fat yoghurt 0,05%milk fat (aprox.50%protein 50%carbs) I didn´t take any supplements except for magnesium 300mg. Before doing some heavy activities I usualy drink 1dl of juice (50kcal) and every half hour another dl. So far so good. > > That's insane. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Before doing some heavy activities I usualy drink 1dl of juice (50kcal) and > every half hour another dl. So far so good. Mister Bastardo: I must say that this is the strangest diet I have ever heard of. What do you call it, the cheesehole diet? However, if it's working for you, and you're a happy Bastardo, I spose that's cool. c Bastardokins? > Mister Bastardo: :))) > I must say that this is the strangest diet I have ever heard of. What > do you call it, the cheesehole diet? It is a modified Atkins. I don´t eat meat, but I do eat over 50% of proteins, and also I try to keep the calories low. I now have the "protein powder". I didn´t know this can be so tasty. Loseing weight without training is realy strange, but it works. And I am not loseing muscles either(high protein diet). > However, if it's working for you, and you're a happy Bastardo, I spose > that's cool. Cool gets as cool is. (would F. Gump say something like this?) > c > Bastardokins? ??? You're right in it being a modified Atkins. Losing weight by eating very few calories while not exercising will not help you in the long run. I hope that it is not what you plan to do. > You're right in it being a modified Atkins. Losing weight by eating > very few calories while not exercising will not help you in the long > run. I hope that it is not what you plan to do. Well, it's a modified SOMETHING...bears little resemblence to Atkins though - the REAL Atkins plan, not the one most people assume they know. SignatureSherry lowcarb.owly.net > You're right in it being a modified Atkins. Losing weight by eating > very few calories while not exercising will not help you in the long > run. I hope that it is not what you plan to do. I plan to exercise when I lose enough weight. After that my diet will change and will include more proteins (2g per kg), more complex carbs like Popeye´s favorite food, oats, ... and also flaxseed oil and olive oil. My favorite activities are: swimming mountain biking karate training (I can break a 4cm*4cm*60cm oak wood with my hammer punch, and I like that) I think that swimming makes you hungry so if you eat something like protein powder with milk, metabolism will be faster and food will integrate gradually. Mixing various proteins will make them slower to integrate. Why Do People Diet? People diet for many reasons. Some are at an unhealthy weight and need to pay closer attention to their eating and exercise habits. Some play sports and want to be in top physical condition. Others may think they would look and feel better if they lost a few pounds. http://loose-weight-for-a-healthy-life.blogspot.com/ > It is a modified Atkins.

Are you aware that there's a book titled "Doctor Atkins New Diet Revolution" that gives directions for how to do Atkins? What you described is so far from the directions that caling it modified Atkins is nonsense. You're doing fine on your own, so call it that. A plan you designed for yourself that has no basis in Atkins. >Are you aware that there's a book titled "Doctor Atkins New Diet >Revolution" that gives directions for how to do Atkins? I don`t eat meat (includeing fish). > >Are you aware that there's a book titled "Doctor Atkins New Diet > >Revolution" that gives directions for how to do Atkins? > > I don`t eat meat (includeing fish). What does that have to do with calling what you're doing modified Atkins? Your diet is so radical, it's not a modifed verison of any diet that I've seen. If it works, you want to keep doing it, and aren't worried about the lack of nutrients that you'd get from sources like vegetables, nuts, olives, etc. fine. But please don't try to associate it with Atkins. > What does that have to do with calling what you're doing modified > Atkins?

I know a girl that lost 40 pounds with pure dedication. She first got a job at a bakery - two shifts. After that she went for 40km per day bike rides (2x20km). She had huge breasts before, bad sadly she lost half of them during her weight loss. I am still sorry I haven`t had sex with her while she had those huge ones. I have never seen that size naturals on a girl that is not so fat (she was around 130 pounds before the weight loss effort) After that she was not looking good at all. All muscles, smaller breasts,... >> What does that have to do with calling what you're doing modified >> Atkins?

That;s ok, she probably wouldn't be too impressed with your tiny penis anyway! > That;s ok, she probably wouldn't be too impressed with your tiny penis > anyway! ROTFL It is not tiny at all and she was not so fat before the diet. She wanted to sleep with me while she lived together with another guy. So my size is ok. > > What does that have to do with calling what you're doing modified > > Atkins?

I think you need to get back to your cheesehole. |
