i happen to fall into the very unfortunate grp of 7%. now i have to watch my diet closely like a hawk, so all in all, this post just serves as a reminder for me of what to eat………….i cant eat my honey cornflakes, noooooooo~~~~~~!!!!!!
No juices. cos apparently they are E V I L as reported from a source here:
“Other ‘forbidden’ foods that are less obvious include fruit juices and cold cereals. It doesn’t matter whether the fruit juice is sweetened or unsweetened; most people’s glycemic response to both kinds of fruit juice is so swift and strong that it’s essentially the same as drinking a regular soda-pop. A few dieticians will permit women to use a bit of fruit juice; most will not. Cold cereals, also, are generally not recommended, even if they are not sugar-coated. They are very carb-intensive and provoke a strong response, so they should usually be avoided. Some people can tolerate them, but they cause problems for most and so are generally not permitted. Hot cereals, on the other hand (like regular long-cooking oatmeal), generally do not cause the same quick rise and can be consumed, as long as careful attention is paid to portion-control. “
Quaker oats??? euuurgh man!
“Pasta and brown rice can be used, but remember to monitor carb content and portion size carefully. Overcooking rice and pasta adds to their carb content, so try to undercook them a bit, and use high-fiber (whole-wheat) versions whenever possible. Long-strand pastas tend to be better to use than short pastas, ironically! “
But i love to eat rice! i hate brown rice!!!!
“When you eat a meal, you have to count carbohydrates, or add up the total number of carbs in all of your foods combined. The general guideline of consuming 30-45cal……”
