Re: What do you eat? for Pinksilk/To S.

May 23, 2005

You're right, " how much " might be the key, because I get really hungry

and eat too much.

Today, I could not stop eating. I had the oatmeal and an egg for

breakfast and bingo, I was starved for lunch. I had a piece of fish and

some peas for lunch, and after that, I was eating all day. I couldn't

stop, I was ravenous. Something at one of those meals set me up. I

didn't use any sugar on the oatmeal, either.

Thanks for your help, too, .

Looks like a dieting minefield hun! LOL!

Oatmeal & Egg... lots of protein & fibre but lacking in carbs.

So from your bodies perspective, it's just gone how many? 10 hours

at east with out food and without energy in particular and so you

given it none to start the day. Without a little sugar/carbs you

cannot use those proteins. Thus, you'll feel tired.

Fish & Peas... erm... nothing much of anything going on here.

No wonder you're getting hungry.

Like I tried to say before, balance is a great aim to go for... you

diet is a little lacking, ok, seriously lacking Do you take any

additional vitamins or supplements, seems like you should.

Things you can try for meals.

Breakfast - low carb cereals, use a little sugar if you like, I use

dried fruit instead, but it's the same effect, i.e. eating a little

sugar. I also have a chicken breast or meat and cheese for breakfast

sometimes.

Lunch - protein, carbs, fibre - you need all of them. Meat/cheese +

grains (bread/tortilla/bagel) + nuts = job done.

P.S. Try swapping from refined sugar to unrefined brown sugar. I

still eat sweet things - sugar, chocolate, honey etc., but I'm in

control of my BGs, that's where you need to get to.

best of luck

You need more food. Eat more veggies and some fruits. On fruits be sure to

test after eating because some fruits make some peoples sugars skyrocket. You

will need to trial and error different foods.

Also, you need some protein. If you eat bread or starches, eat some protein

with it. Sometimes this will balance your blood sugars out. Carbs by

themselves will tend to make your sugars go up.

Again, you will have to trial and error on different foods. Every person is

different. What one can eat another may not can eat. Ex. bananas, white

starches such as potatoes, rice, etc.

I am trying very hard NOT to eat between meals so I can lose weight.

I still feel sick and nauseous all the time. Really lousy.

I never feel like exercising, because all I want to do is sleep.

Hi,

You might need to be eating more, and thats the problem. I try to eat every

3-4 hours during the day, 3 mail meals, but two snacks inbetween time.

With the excersing, start small, even if its once around your yard a day,

to begin with. It really does make a lot of difference.

Everyone is different, and some foods affect more than others, you just

have to experiment.

Sometimes when you feel deprived (and belive me diabetes does that

sometimes), you might binge eat. Having snacks every few hours is good. I do

the celery thing with a low fat ranch dip. I also like cucumbers. If I need

it, I will let myself have low fat microwave popcorn. (make sure to get the

single serving size, not the big bag). I also have a low fat Yoplait yogurt

before bed. (make sure it is the non-fat kind not the regular- you are

looking at about 11 sugars instead of 43 sugars). You will do ok,

Maybe full quantity wise, but perhaps the wrong things as you got

hungry and have been feeling icky. Like quite a few of us have said,

maybe you're being over cautious and actually affecting your weight in

the wrong way.

Increasing protein intake or having it in the morning rather the

evening could make a real difference but you need a bit of carbs in

there.

Have you read anything about the 'glycemic index' of foods yet?

You may benefit from foods that release their carbs/sugars more slowly

giving you a longer bang for your buck. It seems like you're currently

wildly swinging from high to low and that's enough to make anyone

feel sick. If you can smooth things out... eat more frequently and

make use of good GI foods then you'll feel a whole lot better and not

be a sleepy doormouse all day

I think I have always given my body more than enough calories to go

through the day on. I am overweight, so that's my proof. If anything, I

need to cut down.

If I ate all day long, I would not stop.

Like today, I couldn't stop eating. I think I ate enough today for 5

people. That's the stress, too, of knowing this disease is what is

killing my chance at having a future with a decent paying job and

insurance. I just can't remember anything anymore, and such.

No one has advocating eating all day long. But you have to decide to

change and exert control because you already realise that your current

habits are making you sick.

What you're doing at the moment is obviously wrong and your body is

giving you all the signals.

So what do you lose by trying? Nothing really. And, I know this is

going to sound harsh, but, what is more important, your job or your

life?

If you had breakfast and lunch at reagular times then you may only

need to 'snack' in the afternoon, and pretty much anything will do.

You're not being told to have a 3 course meal at your work desk.

You may find that your weight wont change because your under-eating,

starvation makes the body compensate as we've talked about before.

All I can recommend is that you try and make a few changes, maybe

follow some of the advice that has been offered and see what happens.

If you feel better then it's the right thing, if you don't then try a

different approach. Again, what have you got to lose?

take care
