I have a few questions

[Guest guest]

Hello There

This is Brannon who just recently joined.

I have a few questions to ask that haven't yet been answered and I'd love to get

your input. Hope this isn't too lengthy.

1. Is it true if a person gets type 2 diabetes, and does not have a problem

with being over weight, but just gets it, that it might be more difficult to

control through an appropriate diet? This is what someone told me and I'm

wondering if your understanding is the same.

2. My husband is a chip junky, and is aware that carbs aren't good for him to

be eating now, so I was wondering what chrunchy snakcs you all suggest?

3. I am aware that the sugared cereals are not the best, but I was wondering

which cereals you enjoy that are best for you to eat as diabetics?

Thanks so much.

Hi

I'm not sure I have the answers to any of your questions, but I do have a

question of my own. I thought you didn't get type 2 diabetes unless you

were overweight. Maybe this is wrong, and I'm sure there are people on this

list more knowledgable than I.

I don't eat a lot of cereal anymore, but when I do want a bowl, I choose

Cheerios. Not the honeynut kind, just plain, and I put skim milk on them

and do not use sugar. Again, there may be some healthy cereals out there

that someone else can recommend.

I pretty much stay away from all crunchy snacks, unless I'm being bad, but

there may be some healthier choices other than chips. Again, hopefully

others on this list can make suggestions. I do know that nuts are good for

you and that the kind of fat they contain is the good kind. However, you

should only eat very small amounts. And I'm not talking about salted

peanuts you buy in a can.

Looking forward to more responses.

Becky

Crunchy snacks: Avoid chips like the plague! High in carbohydrates and fat, as

well as sodium. Pop-corn is okay, but you can't just eat it as if it were water.

Really, there aren't many choices, sorry to say. Snacking is in some ways a bad

word, unless they are intentional snacks that are nutritious. I eat 2 home-made

peanut butter crackers mid-morning, and mid-afternoon. I will also eat a small

handful of peanuts. The best nuts are walnuts and almonds, and peanuts, but not

in excess. Peanuts are actually not a nut, but a legume.They are high in niacin

and fiber. Walnuts are the highest source of omega 3 nut, and I'm not sure about

almonds, but I believe they are also high in omega 3.

Cereals: A bowl of most any cereal is like eating bread and milk, plus any added

sugar. There simply another form of quick acting carbohydrates. Learn to read,

or have someone read, the nutritional and ingredient information on food

products. Most cereals will be fairly similar. AS Mark stated, shredded wheat,

and even the mini-wheat's, are probably the healthiest cereal since they are a

completely natural product. The first and only ingredient is whole wheat. This

is a key word to look for in your carbohydrate foods. The word " whole grain, " or

" whole oats, " refer to a product that is higher in fiber and nutrition because

the grain has not been pulverized into flour, where the outer and healthy shell

of the grain has been removed.
