Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004I am starting low carb diet
Though difficult to accept at first, it is pretty logical on researching further about atkin's and low carb diet. The difficult part is a spouse who don't have body weight issue and whose staple diet is either bread and rice. However it is time to try and for me to avoid the hassle of counting carb; I will just minus the rice and sugar in my diet from today, i.e. 21 May 2004, at 78 kg or 172lbs. naluri@yahoo.com burbled across the ether: > Though difficult to accept at first, it is pretty logical on > researching further about atkin's and low carb diet.

Yeah, it does seem counter intuitive donit? :) www.lowcarbresearch.org/results.asp for those well meaning friends, family, doctors, and strangers on the street who will tell you that lowcarb will kill you. > However it is time to try and for me to avoid the hassle of counting > carb; I will just minus the rice and sugar in my diet from today, i.e. > 21 May 2004, at 78 kg or 172lbs.

Hemm, first day, and I still could not resist the rice for breakfast and for lunch and up this far had 156 gm of carbohydrate already. This is my weakness. The thought of dieting itself, make me eat! However after reading revek's encouragement and Jenny's "2 gram cure" I hope to try again. I am a Malay/Asian and rice is always on the menu, be it breakfast or supper!

You're going to have to get the rice out of the house if you can't stay out of it (you might be able to add small amounts back into your diet later, but don't fret about it right now). Give it to a food bank. Get some good lowcarb veggies to eat in it's place. Cabbage is good. Bok choy is excellent as a mildly flavored veggie that you can chop up and cook just about any way you can think of and mix with your protien or cover in flavorful sauces. Pick two or three you think you can eat a lot of and then expand your base slowly-- try a new veggie every couple of days. Keep note of what you didn't like much and re-try it about 6 months into lowcarbing. You might be surprised at how your tastebuds have changed. > However after reading revek's encouragement and Jenny's "2 gram cure" > I hope to try again.

If you miss the texture of rice, try 'ricing' (shredding into rice size pieces) some cauliflower, then steaming it with a little fresh garlic (to kill the taste). Instant lowcarb rice. (well, not *instant*) :) Signaturerevek www.geocities.com/tanirevek/LowCarb.html lowcarbing since June 2002 5'2" 41 F 165+/too much/size seven petite please SUSHIDO: The way of the Tuna. >> naluri@yahoo.com burbled across the ether: >> > Though difficult to accept at first, it is pretty logical on [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >I hope to try again. I am a Malay/Asian and rice is always on the >menu, be it breakfast or supper! I love Thai/Malay area food! Had wonderful veggies in a train station near Cameron Highlands. :-))))) Many western diet sources may be thinking of the kinds of rice that are most common here. There seem to be differences between the Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load of different kinds of rice, with Basmati and some Uncle Ben's Parboiled rices lower in GI/GL than the more common western kinds. If you research the right kind of rice and cook it with oil and serve it with a rich sauce, then test your BG, you may find it is ok for you. If you find out, pls let me know, because I love rice too. :-))))) Skinny -- pre-diab hypo /snip/ >I am a Malay/Asian and rice is always on the >menu, be it breakfast or supper! PS. What about 'glass noodles' etc? Saifun? I've heard they also have lower GI/GL than western noodles. Good luck, Skinny -- pre-diab hypo |
