Re: Ideas for breakfast

I should probably say that when I was growing up, we had breakfast items for

supper and if we wanted them and they were left over, we could have supper

things for breakfast. That's why I eat in such a strange fashion.

Hi, I do have a question about the oatmeal. Do you get the regular kind or

the instant kind and how much do you fix per serving. Thanks.

Hi Terri.

I never eat oatmeal. For one of those packetts of just the regular with nothing

on it is from 30 to 45 grams of carbs depending on the brand.

1 piece of fruit, based on the size, is from 15 grams of carbs to 30. 1 slice of

bread is around 15 to 22 grams based on the brand. Peanut butter, for 1

tablespoon, is 7 to 10 grams based on the brand. So, you would be looking at

around 45 to 55 grams of quick acting carbs for that breakfast. Most of the

time, for breakfast, due to the dawn effect, you want to limit those to around

15 to 30 and the reast of your meals at around 30.

the ADA exchange diet is not the best choice. The reason for that is they have

your diet 80% quick acting carbs and 20% meats/veggies. They feel that meats amd

fats cause stroke/heart condition in diabetic rather than realizing that carbs

break to sugar and spike you and high sugars cause the problems.

The ADA are now just starting to half way admit that carbs may have something to

do with high sugars.

I don't know what brand of peanut butter is 7-10g of carbs, but I use Skippy

peanut butter and it's 3g of carbs per tablespoon. That might be a

possibility for people wanting to use peanut butter. I should mention I'm in

Canada, maybe the ingredients are different in the U.S.

Hi Jenn.

Most brands of peanut butter have some form of OSE sugar in it to sweeten it and

the carb count is around 7 grams per tablespoon. Skippy at 3 grams is good!

Peanut butter is one of those YMMV (your milage may vary) foods that can spike

some and not spike others.

,

Wal-Mart has it. I believe that Safeway used to carry it but I do know

that Wal-Mart carries it now.

Wal-Mart actually has a fairly good selection of low card breads. Just

be sure to look at total carbs and not net carbs.

Thank you, I will keep that in mind. We don't go there very often as it

isn't close, but maybe I can talk someone in to going to check out diabetic

things for mom.

By the way, I went to the American Diabetic Association website, and for the

most part, it was a lot of advertising for businesses and diet sites

charging money for their products. I was surprised since I thought it would

be altogether different. At least I found something, this time.

It is the conversion of carbohydrates by the liver that causes the rise in

the blood glucose level and the production of triglycerides which are then

converted to even more fats that cause the problem with fats or high lipid

levels in the blood stream. Insulin is a storage hormone, which carries

nutrition to all the cells of the body and converts excessive glucose into

stored fat in the body. You know that fat reserve that is located on the

lower abdomen in most diabetics. For years now the medical profession has

had it all wrong. The fat you eat is not transported directly from your

stomach to your liver and then into the blood stream. Fat is metabolized

first into its smaller components and converted into fuel called glucose, a

carbohydrate of the simplest kind. Then the excess glucose is converted

into fat and stored by the use of hormone called insulin. Protein under

goes a similar metabolism. If I am wrong, some one will have to correct me

now. It is the high consumption of carbohydrates that cause all that fat

clogging fat in the arteries and not the consumption of protein and fat. My

cardiologist had it half right 18 years ago, when he told me not to consume

more than two ounces of fat per day. I would have been better off had he

told me not to consume more than two ounces of carbs per day. Let's see

here now... there are 28 grams in an ounce and two times 28 grams would be

56 grams of carbs, which would be just about right. 56 grams of carbs

contains 224 calories and 56 grams of fat contains504 calories, which is

already ¼ of all the calories any body would need in an entire day, provided

they wish to weigh 200 pounds.
