Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Yes, that did helped. well I'm a tea drinker. so I would need to read the box if it contained carbs. and you mentioned eggs they have a carb too? or wait you didn't mentioned eggs.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 The difference in the olive oils are basically in their flavor. Also they vary in price from low price to high price. We use the extra virgin olive oil, since it has the least effect upon the flavor of the foods that you put it on or cook a food item in. All of the olive oils contain no carbs and around 14 grams of fat per table spoonfull. I like the flavor of all the different olive oils. So get the kind that suits your taste and pocketbook.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I love both hot tea and hot coffee. Yes, I did mention eggs. Some people like to quibble over an egg carb content, and it will depend on which nutritionist , which dietician and which other person you wish to believe. Some say an egg contains1 gram of carb, some say two eggs contain 1 gram of carb, but all of them seem to agree on one thing; it makes no difference how the egg is prepared, fried, boiled, baked or raw. The egg's carb content may also depend on the size of the egg, but I wouldn't worry about that. As long as you get within 2 or 3 grams of the meal's total carb gram content, you are doing pretty good. For me if I get the munchies a snack of a boiled egg will solve the craving and I have only consumed 1 gram of carb or if you like maybe 2 grams of carbs.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Hi there, The different grades of olive oil indicate the amount of impurities in the oil. The extra virgin is the oil which comes out of the olives first and the just plain old regular is the oil which was the last to be pressed out subsequently it will contain whatever impurities happen to be present such as flavor derived from the crushed pulp and skins. The extra virgin is, for the most part, a lot more pure oil from the olive. The Ancient One... Re: 's time The difference in the olive oils are basically in their flavor.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Theresa it is simple. Read the carb grams per serving on the food you eat, or have your boyfriend read it to you, and dont' go over a total of 30 grams per meal to start with. Take your sugar before you eat, post the result to the list. Take your sugar 2 hours past eating, post your result to the list. We will look at your sugar readings and help you get them in range by adjusting up or down your total carb grams ate at each meal. Does this make sense to you? Let us know and if not, we can try explaining it differently to you. Regards, 's time > What do you find confusing about carb counting?

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 eggs and cheese are virtually carb free items. same with tuna. Pretty much any meat is carb free.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 so one egg is 1 carb? and if I'm allowed four per week or let's just say two in one meal it would be two carbs cause I'm haveing two eggs right? but I'm not having all them all at once.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Yes, think of it this way to be safe as far as carb counting is concerned. one egg equals 1 carb. As far as I am concerned a person can eat as many eggs as they like as often as they like. Personally, I eat about a dozen of eggs per week unless I am served those deviled kind. Then I eat more.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 yes, 30 grams for breakfast, 30 grams for lunch, and 30 grams for dinner. Make certain to check your sugar before your meal, post the result to the list, check your sugar 2 hours past eating, post your result to the list. Do this for every meal and in 3 weeks or less we will have you regulated and feeling great! BTW eat your meals 4 to 5 hours apart.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 correct, eggs don't spike your blood sugar nor does cheese, tuna, turkey, ham, fish, etc. meats are pretty much carb free. If you want to snack in between meals, get a piece of lettuce and make you a wrap out of lettuce... I.E turkey, cheese, and wrap it in lettuce and eat it for probably no more than 3 grams of carbs which will not spike your blood sugar. Still want to snack after that? Eat you some dill pickles, olives, or pork rines which have 0 grams of carbs. BTW dont' eat sweet pickles or butter pickles since they have sugar in them, only eat dill pickles.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 I see. Well, keep us updated and for now, try to eat low carb foods like we are suggesting. You really need to get that blood monitor working ASAP since it is your number 1 weapon in this batttle aside from controlling appetite *smile*.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Hi. The best place to find the round batteries is to telephone the company.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 snapple makes diet teas in several flavors, such as peach, raspberry, raspbeery -kiwi and others. Re: 's time I think Snapple makes diet peach tea, and they may make some other diet teas. Most of the time I brew my own tea, so I am an infrequent diet ready made tea drinker.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 you have to get the batteries for your blood unit Theresa for us to help you. Please consider having the company overnight you the batteries. Regards, 's time I was wondering if I should post my diet on here , and you guys can help up with a better one? I went to the diabetic nurse and it went well. she suggested that when taking the glucophatge in the evening, take it at bed time with a snack. cause I would get a better result in the morning.
