Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Oh Yes Please. I second the motion! :-) Deb Rowand (Redmond, WA - USA) _____ From: Sharon Bolton Sent: Friday, March 19, 2004 8:58 AM To: diabetes Subject: Posting recipies Unless there is some list-specific rule against sending recipies, I would really like it if people sent their recipies to the list, rather than to an individual. Why should the sender have to send it to 25 people, when they could just send it once? Like any other post, if you don't want it, it can be deleted. And what I nice treat, to find delicious recipies unexpectedly in your mail!

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Eunice, I would love that list of groups! I'm getting tired of eating the same old thing. Plus I'd love some good recipes that would show my husband eating lower carb is not eating cardboard. :-) _____ From: ERWachter@...

Then we would have a central suppository to " go back " and look through. Hi Karl, That is fine as long as they are tried and true recipes. No recipes copied from other sites are to be posted. Recipes with high carb content will be deleted. Karl, if you are interested, I can give you the names of some recipe groups. I'm sure some of the members belong to recipe/food groups and would give you the address. Belonging to a recipe group would give a much larger selection of recipes.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 You know so far we or most of us are not really told how to count total sugar grams. I do not have a clue. I just do the carbs thing but to tell you the truth I do not make many diabetic sweet recipes or diabetic recipes but this lady wanted some sites so I gave her the ones I have collected through the years. I actually use real recipe books when I want recipes. I collect them and do not have a lot of books but I have a few nice ones and I try to make real recipes a bit healthier using olive oil and sometimes a healthy oil spread etc. I also have seen diabetic recipes that list 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of margarine etc in the ingredients and I myself wonder how that is helpful? Like anything on the internet beware!!! What we see and read is not always real. Some recipes are at the mercy of who is typing it all in. sussie -----Original Message----- From: Karl Jensen I was looking through these and I have a question. Each recipe lists how much protein, carbs, etc. What I haven't found is a total for sugars. Are we to believe that these are low sugar since they are called " Dietetic Recipes " ?? Or did I miss something again? - Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 All sugars are carbs, but not all carbs are sugars. Starches, fiber, and 'sugar alcohols' (which are neither really sugars nor alcohols) are also carbs. Starches are as much a concern as sugar, as starch turns into sugar inside the body. Fiber passes through the body and isn't absorbed, so you can subtract the fiber from the total carbs. Sugar alcohols (improperly so called) are a 'wild card.' Some people find that they do not do anything to the BS, others find that they are as bad or worse than starches or true sugars. RE: Posting recipes Carbs are the sugars. Sugar is a carb, so it's that number that concerns a diabetic. Beware of things labeled diabetic recipes as they are often very high in carbs, just low in fat, and your meter may well tell you that there are too many carbs for you.
