Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 BTW speaking of low carb, pepsi just came out with a new line of pop called " Pepsi edge " . It is not for us, but rather for non-diabetics. The marketing blast is 50% less sugar. For 1 12 ounce can has 20 grams of carbs as compared to the 40 grams in the non-edge/regular. Buddy I work with came in with it today and he knows I moderate carb and told me about it. Hey, moderate/low carb is causing companies to accomidate that portion of society and we are in there! smile. so, we might just get some good low carb stuff us diabetics can eat that is good tasting.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 what about soy milk? I stopped drinking milk a year ago cause it was messing with my allergies. but I love the stuff. when I was in school, I drank about one gallon of milk per day for twelve years. now I hear it is all most four dollars per gallon. butter milk is even better, but the carbs in butter milk is scary. probably shouldn't be eating cereal at all any way and can't eat cookies any more and can't eat a apple pie or peach carbler, so what good is milk any more?

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 I heard on the news yesterday, that lots of folks are having to go to the hospital cause they aren't eating enough carbs per day. they were really down on the Atkins diet. they were saying how bad it is to cut out carbs and you shouldn't be listening to all the non sense about cutting carbs to loose weight. sounds to me, like maybe these people had cut out all there carbs per day and not eating any at all. this would for sure probably make you sick if you didn't eat any carbs a day at all. some folks just don't use there heads and a good way of eating and staying healthy, gets a bad rap. Atkins never said in his book to cut out all carbs. but his diet is sure getting kicked around here lately for putting people in the hospital. some times I think the fast food industry is the ones be hind all the bad talk about low carbs. they will loose a lot of money if folks believe in eating less carbs to get healthy. just my opinion for what ever it is worth.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Yes I think some people are going overboard with the low-carb craze. We need some carbs, just as we need some protein, some fat, etc., but it's being realistic about it. It's too easy to get so preoccupied with cutting out carbs that you don't wind up enjoying anything you eat or drink at all, and what good is that? Hey, I enjoy an occasional peach cobbler, but I don't eat 'em every day, and I eat it early enough in the day that I can walk to burn up some of those carbs. I know ultimately I'm going to pay for what I eat so I keep that in mind and enjoy my food, I just don't eat foolishly beyond my limits though. Just like you don't live beyond your monetary means, I live according to what I can reasonably afford to " pay for. " I'm so mad at the food industry for doing overkill on this low-carb stuff. Half the things that are out there most surely will be gone in a couple of years because people will burn out on it trying to convert to it overnight or living on it in excess, or thinking that this is the panacea to all their medical problems. Therein, they will be in for some disappointment because like so many things, a lot of the " low carb " things are probably wind up not being as low-carb as first thought, and to the other extreme, people will go so low-carb that they will cause themselves damage to the heart or other organs. A little common sense here goes a low way, but I'm afraid in all the low-carb frenzy that's all the rage, good ol' common sense has gone the way of the hair I used to have......

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Cy, You bring up an excellent point about products not being what they are touted to be. It is for this reason that when I look for things in the store, I really don't look as much for the carb measurement as I do sodium intake and gauge the product's worth on that more than the carbs. For example, I was looking at salad dressing tonight. Most are between 0 and 14 gm that I have seen, but when you look at fat content they can range from about 2 to 15 gm. But ah, look at sodium. I saw a range of 210 to 380 mg. The low-fat and low-carb dressings actually had more sodium than the plain old regular dressings. Do I want more salt? No. Do I want more fat? No. If all I'm getting is a product that has traded off carbs but gives me more salt, it's of no use to me since I need to keep sodium down to control blood pressure. ly, with the shotty way carbs are being measured these days, and since it's such a buzzword that is not always interpreted correctly, I have to use sodium as a better and more consistent yardstick. And it has worked for me going that route as my blood sugars are in better control. Yes I look at carbs and I try to think in terms of carbs, but I need a meter I can rely on through all the marketing blitzes, and for me thinking of the salt intake is a workable yardstick. I'd rather eat something whose ingredients are straightforward, not playing any silly marketing games with me, rather than chance eating something that I _thought_ was good only to find out later I've been duped all the while wondering why I had gained 10 pounds.....know what I mean?

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 I'm glad that is working for you Bill but I do not share the concern of salt. It doesn't effect me, nor does fat. So, each person is different/is at different stages in the disease. Bottom line, like I told Cy, you just have to look at total carbs per serving to get an accurate carb count it really is that simple... ignore any net carb talk. We all know that carbs do break down to sugar and it is extremely important to watch them as a diabetic. I have extremely accurate carb and insulin coverage via reading labels on foods. If the bread says 15 grams per slice,and I dose 2 H to cover it, I am fine. It works fine. Your LDL, HDL, and triglisterites are great measurements to determine if you should watch fat, especially the LDL. If you are abel to eat moderate amounts of fat, which we all need, and your LDL is under 100, then it is perfectly fine to eat some fat. Another thought is, if you are limiting carbs to 15 to 30 grams per meal, how much fat and salt could you really be eating? I think we start seeing problems when people get excessive with eating and not watching portions. Like some have brought up, moderate/low carbing is fine as long as you do portion control as well. I know for me, I eat 15 grams for breakfast, 30 for lunch, and 60 for dinner and my a1c is 5.3 and all other readings (cholesterol and blood pressure) are fine. It is only when I start getting excessive and eating 80 grams per meal that my lab/blood results go off the board smile. Just some thoughts that came to mind while reading over your post so thought I'd share... Regards, Re: Hoods' Low-Carb Milk Cy, You bring up an excellent point about products not being what they are touted to be.
