Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 Still confused...when she talks about serving size one cup in combination with protein, is she implying that by eating one cup of " whole carb " with that amount of protein it won't affect our BGs? And when she talks about " one cup " is she talking about cooked? Uncooked? (It does make a difference - see USDA charts) V. In a message dated 00-10-18 11:23:47 EDT, you write: << A whole carb is a starch which has been processed only to the extent necessary to make it edible. The category would include beans, hard squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and unrefined grains such as corn and rice. Whole carbs would also include the more exotic buckwheat, quinoa, and tapioca. The serving size is one cup in combination with 4oz protein for women, 5oz for men and 2oz extra for breakfast. This may look like alot of carbs to a practicing low carber, but in comparison to the average American diet of 1400 calories per day of refined carbohydrates, the 400 calories in the three cups is still low. Like lc diets, whole carbs in combination with protein stabilize blood glucose so many of the benefits also stem from relief from hypoglycemia. >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read it's more like 300 grams a day in the U.S. Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
