What Should I Do After A Candy Binge?

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:18:09 +0000

My day started out okay. I began with a coffee and english muffin for breakfast. Went to work, every now and then I would nibble on some chicken and pasta salads (curse me for working in a deli lol), for lunch I had homemade chicken salad on a low calorie (110) bagel. (base of chicken salad was 1 tbsp. fat free miracle whip)
But then I started to get munchies. I had a sugar cookie from the bakery, some homemade chocolate covered cherries, and a few Hershey’s miniatures my boss left for everyone. After work, I stopped at a store to pick up my usual specialty diet items, as well as some ice cream I’ve been wanting to try since summer. lol
I got home, I dove into the ice cream cuz it was soft and melty on the top and sides (best time to eat it lol), after that I watched a tv show while indulging on holiday candy my family keeps around. (and I do whine and complain endlessly when they bring that stuff home argh – it goes in one ear and out the other!)
Anywaayysss, so now that I’m sugar loaded, carb bloated, and all that other fun stuff, what do you recommend I do for damage control? I already have plans on hitting the gym first thing tomorrow morning, but what should I do about food? Should I try to stay REALLY low on carbs for a day? My usual daily intake is around 1,400.. should I lower this to maybe 1,200 the next couple of days?
Thank you for listening!

Diabetes – Inconsistent Readings After Meals.?

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 01:04:42 +0000

I am a Type II diabetic (just over two years). I manage my diabetes through diet and exercise. Per my work with a dietician, for a person my size I am limited to 81 grams of carbs at breakfast, lunch & dinner; 30 grams of carbs for my mid-morning & mid-afternoon snack; and 20 grams of carbs for my evening snack.
Today, I had 45 grams of carbs for breakfast, 30 grams of carbs for my mid-morning snack and approximately 70 grams of carbs for lunch. Two hours after lunch, I got an 86 on the meter. I have had this same issue a number of times. Several times after what I thought to be particularly carb intensive lunches – 60 to 80 carbs, I have scored from 96 down as low as 72 on the meter.
Any thoughts?

How Long After Conception Should You Wait To Get A Pregnancy Test If You Period Is Due Soon?

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 19:06:27 +0000

My period is due this week, and my husband and I had sex over the weekend. Will I even have my upcoming period if conception was a couple of days ago, or should I expect to miss this one if I’m pregnant? Where should I go from there? Also, I was planning on starting my diet this week; should I wait until I find out if I’m pregnant or not to start, or is it okay to do a diet without harming the baby. (I’m doing the low carb diet),

Anyone Here Don’t See Improvement In Diabetics Reading After Adopting Low Carb Diet? And Why?

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 07:09:56 +0000

I’ve have. My blood sugar rose and fell unpredictably while on a low carb diet. Since going back to carbs, my blood sugars are more stable. I believe this is because my body is not starving for carbs to fuel itself with. I’m not having problems with ketones, either, so my breath smells better, too.

Has Anyone Experienced Chest Pain During Physical Exertion After A Few Months On A Low-carb Diet?

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 19:15:51 +0000

Get off that diet ASAP. I got terrible cramps and fatigue, while on the Low carb diet SOuth Beach. I got off and felt so much better. I think you are depriving your body of enough simple sugars that is needed for energy, and that causes the chest pain-no glycogen in your muscles. Get off the diet and if the pain persists see a Dr.

Why Did I Start Losing Weight After Eating Full-fat Products And Meat?

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 07:07:35 +0000

I used to be a vegetarian, but noticed that I was feeling quite weak. I was also always hungry and shaking when I did not eat for a while. I saw a dietitian and he put me on this high-fat, high-protein, low carb diet.
It is not like I cut out carbs completely. I still eat fruit everyday, along with a serving of bread each day, and I eat veggies, but not as a main source of food like I used to. I now eat more meat and have been noticing that I feel better and have lost weight.
I was originally 5′5 and 135 lbs, and am now 127 lbs.
Why is this? Does my body just run better on high fat foods? For instance, I can eat a serving of salmon and feel SO full, whereas I would have to eat 5 bowls of ceral to feel full. I feel like an oddity.
