Hi Lee, Whenever I'm going to eat more carbs than usual, I always plan to do it when I know that I can exercise afterwards. Most of the time, my exercise is walking. We have to work for things that we want, so that is what I tell myself. If I want carbs, I've got to work for them. This works for me.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 It wouldn't surprise me if they haven't come up with some way to make low-carb matzoth. Perhaps you could contact Manachevitz or one of the other kosher food companies to see if they are working on it? Re: Jewish food Yes, indeed. I hope I make thru Passover - that matzoh has a lot of carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you don't leave the table until midnight! Exercising afterwards is not usually an option. And if you are a guest at someone else's home, you also have no control over what is served. There are also rules that you have to actually eat certain of the things, like wine, matzos, etc. Not a lot, but enough that a diabetic needs to be careful.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 A Jewish acquaintance who has celiac sprue was advised by her Rabbi that she was NOT obliged to eat matzo at Passover, as preserving your health (and thus life) takes precedence. Wouldn't that apply to diabetics, as well? (BTW, why is kosher wine so sweet?)

Wouldn't that apply to diabetics, as well? Indeed, this is the position my own rabbi takes. I know one poor diabetic woman, Conservative, married to a very Orthodox man, who ended up hospitalized one year for a MONTH recovering from his rabbi's opinions. But you reminded me. I'll have to write to my rabbi today, because he doesn't know I have diabetes, so I'll see if I can get off the hook eating matzo -- which I personally hate, LOL! >(BTW, why is kosher wine so sweet?) It's generally not good wine to begin with, so they add sugar. Ever hear the old joke about several men wandering through the desert? The German says, " I'm hot, I'm hungry, I'm weak -- I must have a beer and bratworst! " The Frenchman says, " I'm hot, I'm hungry, I'm weak -- I must have some wine and cheese! " The Jew says, " I'm hot, I'm hungry, I'm weak -- I must have diabetes! " ;-) Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
