So, 1% milk has about 1/3 the fat of whole milk. It has about the same level of sugar (lactose), though, so it will have the same insulin impact. This why the low carb approaches, Atkins, sugar buster, etc., recommend you avoid milk altogether, regardless of fat content.

Are nuts like >cashews and peanuts allowed in the low-carb dieting systems? I mean is >eating peanuts and cashews better than fruits for snacks? > Nuts are forbidden during induction. A mere tablespoonful contains an entire day's allowance on most of the regimens. IIRC, peanuts have slightly less carbs per unit mass than the cashews. However, most of the calories are due to the fat content, so you might consider very moderate use for maintenance. Most fruits have too much sugar for either approach, even the ones high in fiber. So, nuts are marginally better than fruits but neither are going to help you lose weight. Consider cheese, hard-boiled eggs, sardines, oysters, or low carb snack products. However, the latter tend to be expensive and often contain soy. If your cholesterol is high, you should also eliminate the cheese and egg yolks.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 another thing i have noticed is that a diet very low in fat tends to make u feel very hungry through out the day, specially if you take levothyroxine or armour which increases the way your body burns calories plus exercising From: Chuck Blatchley <cblatchl@...> Reply-hypothyroidism hypothyroidism Subject: Re: is 2%-Milk fattening?

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 My daughter loves the zone bar---she always has one in her purse in case she gets weak and can't get to any food--it's a good thing to have as a back-up. Some do contain soy products so read the labels--- tina > > > > >how are u? thanx for your answer, i have another question.

I used to enjoy the " string " cheese form of mozzarella. Any meat is ok, if you monitor your cholesterol, but avoid the highly processed kinds, such as jerky, which are full of nitrates and rancid oils. There are even low carb versions of bread, taco shells, and chips, but be careful what you dip them in. Most dips are full of sugar or other carbs. Then add one peanut or one cashew.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 LOL One? I like to eat whatever I want, as long as it's real And I have seen cashews hanging on trees in Panama, very pretty.
