Guest guest Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi , It would be great if you post what you do eat, It will be great to get some ideas off you. I try to eat less than 80 grams of carbs per day. I realise that this isn't anything near the Burnstine diet, but some meal ideas will definitely help. Cheers, Brett. challenge me, I dare you! I knew that subject would get your interest and cause you to read this one. *grin*. I need you all to challenge me. How you might ask? I need every person on list here to challenge me to go back on Dr Bernstein's diet so that I can extend my life for my 4 children and my wife. I realize that this is ultimately up to me, but coming to you guys for support is a good thing and I could use the help. I'm 37 years old and my doctor explained to me and my wife recently that my life expectancy is 50 years as a type 1 diabetic. I currently weigh 200 pounds and prior to going off Doctor Bernstein's diet I weighed 165, the lower end of my BMI. Currently my a1c is 7.2, my LDL cholesterol is 195, and I am not in the best condition I could be for my family. While on Bernstein's diet, my LDL was 80 and my a1c was 4.8. So, friends, please write me off list or on list and kick me in the ass and tell me to get back on the diet! Looking for some support...

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 sHi : I hate to ask this but what is the Burnstein diet? Diet and I just can't seem to get along very well. I just get this negative feeling when I hear diet and I can't seem to stay on them. I am eating a basic diabetic diet accept once in a while when I um um um um cheat! But what I find works well for me is to eat pretty well what I want but about one third of what I used to eat. I am 220 now, but I was 296 so I am coming down down down. When I stuck to real serious dieting I would lose but as soon as I went off just a little bit, I would gain everything back and then some. But I know I need to lose a lot more. I would also like to live a longer healthier life for my family. So! What is the Burnstein diet? Maybe I won't get that awful horrible negative feeling with it. My sugars are a lot lower then they were. My average is about eight point two. I am not sure what that is on the other scale. To keep spiritually fit, consult the Great Physician. Love and hugs, and the furry ones. challenge me, I dare you! I knew that subject would get your interest and cause you to read this one. *grin*. I need you all to challenge me. How you might ask?

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi , That is just it. Bernstein's diet is die with a T on the end *grin*. You basically eat no carbohydrates and eat only healthy veggies and healthy meats. By doing this, you remove the blood sugar spikes, lows, etc. and normalize your sugars. When anyone starts the diet they need to cut their diabetic medications back drastically since they are used primarily for fighting blood sugar spikes due to eating carbohydrates.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi Jenn, Any little bit helps in this fight and, this is a fight no matter how we look at it. Yes, lets all hold one another accountable and start posting our sugar results! I am going to start an email thread called your blood sugar results that all of us can post to. This way whoever doesn't want to follow it can skip it. Regards, Re: challenge me, I dare you! *rub hands together* hell yes! Thanks ! I will start on the diet tomorrow morning for breakfast. This was exactly what I needed... another partner... just like lifting weights... I need someone to spot me! Thanks man! I'll post my blood sugar results, what I eat, 2 hour post, etc. Currently, prior to going on dr B's diet, I am dosing 16 units of humalog to cover 90 grams of carbs each meal. 2 hour posts are never below 120, lucky if they are below 180. Lantus is 4 morning and 8 in the evening. Tomorrow I start on the diet. I will cut my humalog back to 2 to 3 units for breakfast and settle down for a few scrambled eggs. Thanks again , I need the help and glad you stepped up my friend! Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hi , Cool, thanks, I will be watching with interest. My main problem trying to stick to 80 grams is that a lot of what I eat is the same so can get a bit boring and that causes me to break out a bit. So seeing others meal ideas should help.

I currently weigh 200 pounds and prior to going off Doctor Bernstein's diet I weighed 165, the lower end of my BMI. Currently my a1c is 7.2, my LDL cholesterol is 195, and I am not in the best condition I could be for my family. While on Bernstein's diet, my LDL was 80 and my a1c was 4.8. So, friends, please write me off list or on list and kick me in the ass and tell me to get back on the diet! Looking for some support...

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Thanks Brett! Regards, challenge me, I dare you! I knew that subject would get your interest and cause you to read this one. *grin*. I need you all to challenge me. How you might ask? I need every person on list here to challenge me to go back on Dr Bernstein's diet so that I can extend my life for my 4 children and my wife. I realize that this is ultimately up to me, but coming to you guys for support is a good thing and I could use the help. I'm 37 years old and my doctor explained to me and my wife recently that my life expectancy is 50 years as a type 1 diabetic.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 My big weakness right now is lattes! I need to lay off the lattes and I bet I could cut down 100 grams of carbs right there just from the milk and/or flavouring!!! I totally failed today, ate over 250 grams of carbs, but I will try again tomorrow! Jen RE: challenge me, I dare you! , It is really ot that hard ot follow a low carb diet without it being a Bernstein. Just eat low fat meats such as chicken, turkey fish and lots and lots of green vegetables! Eat only one o2 pieces of bread a day and maybe ne fruit and you have less than 100 grams of carbs that way. You will find yo need less insulin that way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Don't worry about it Jenn, take it day by day. You'll nail it soon enough! Even if your blood sugar results are not the best, post them. This helps you see them and be accountable. I hate posting bad blood sugar results but I am doing it. *sigh*.
