I have a food scale that gives you the carb count after you put in a code that corresponds to the food and weight. It is wonderful. Carb counting is hard when you have combination foods, i.e. casseroles, etc.

Karen, thanks for this, looks like my hubby is going to have to go this route also. He is terrible about watching his diet, and he does all the cooking! Hope things are well there. Carol

As a registered dietitian it is hard for me to see links to sites that push "low carbohydrate" eating. I will try not to get on my soapbox here. Your husband needs to eat a consistent amount of carbohydrate, not a "low" amount. Be aware that "low" carbohydrate foods can be high in fat which does not help in the weight control area.
If he has type 2 diabetes, his best friend can be weight loss of 10% body weight for a big improvement in control of his diabetes. Carbs are not bad, they are your fuel. Your brain and central nervous system needs about 130 grams per day just to sleep, breath, do nothing at all. All for now or I will go on for hours........ |
hubby is not a diabetic, was in hospital for a staph infection and they were counting his carbs intake daily (Dr. said to be on a healthy heart diet) I used to count carb, protein and fat when he was a diabetic, but he got a new kidney and pancreas transplant 9/18/90 and no longer a diabetic, thanks for posting that you are a dietician and hope you can help us

Being a vegetarian is more beneficial-- avoid animal products, not carbs, except fat free dairy like skim milk, yogurt, cottage cheese. Of course, fat free cheeses aren't worth eating in my opinion. So I use the real thing sparingly and have found that I don't miss the meats! I do have a fillet or prime rib for very special occasions and when I go to my mom's for family dinners (she is the best cook in the world!) I leave my vegetarianism at home for that meal. Moderation, moderation, in all things.... except fabric purchasing! |
