Guest guest Posted June 1, 2002 Report Share Posted June 1, 2002 I got the bread from my local health food store..The owner is really odd, but he is a low carb guy hard core for 10 years now...I lucked out, he also caries a full line of Keto items (pasta, powered milk, chips, etc...) Unfortunately I feel that it is all so expensive....Has anyone tried Strawberries this season....My partner and her mom put together a BBQ today, and we had strawberries for dessert, of course mine were made with Splenda not sugar, and I didn't have the cake to go with it...But I did have whipped cream...only 1 carb for the whipped cream, and the strawberries have only 10 carbs for 1 cup.....They didn't touch my BG level.....I just feel so happy today....Imagine, over bread and strawberries.... Try this web address for the bread. www.atkinscenter.com the store here caries country style bread, and rye. Good luck....Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2002 Report Share Posted June 2, 2002 Dawn, Glad the Atkins bread helped you not feel so deprived.... that is a problem when you can't eat the things you love and see everyone else eating them. I think it's worth the $4.00 if it helps. I love to go out to eat, but I've cut down on that -- we used to go out several nights a week -- because it's just easier to watch what I eat at home. Since we're not going out as much, I've decided to treat myself to things that I love that won't make my blood sugar go up -- like fresh salmon, cooked on the grill, and cold boiled shrimp, dipped in butter, and sautéed mushrooms :-) Sandy ----------------------- I just had to share with the group....Today I discovered the Atkins bread....3 carbs to a slice....WOW!!!! I had an egg salad sandwich with 2 slices of the bread and the normal...eggs, light mayo, and onions....My BG's didn't spike at all....$4.00 a loaf so it is a treat, but what the hell it's better than nothing....The other morning my partner was having some Apple Jacks cereal, and I started to cry...I just want to stop feeling so deprived, and in a way the Atkins bread helped....Thanks for reading...

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 Yes, I've had some very good ones, and just like you, they did nothing to my blood sugar level. I don't blame you for feeling happy about that! Whenever I can find something I love that's also good for me, I'm thrilled :-) Sandy ------------- Has anyone tried Strawberries this season....My partner and her mom put together a BBQ today, and we had strawberries for dessert, of course mine were made with Splenda not sugar, and I didn't have the cake to go with it...But I did have whipped cream...only 1 carb for the whipped cream, and the strawberries have only 10 carbs for 1 cup.....They didn't touch my BG level.....I just feel so happy today....Imagine, over bread and strawberries....

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 Speaking of lunch today......my daughter and I were out going to garage sales. For lunch we decided to go to our favorite Chinese buffet. It is the first time I have eaten out since my diagnosis. I had two platefuls of good stuff...but no rice or pasta. It was mostly broccoli, mushrooms, carrots and chicken, but I had probably 8 different dishes. I hoped I was choosing well! So, two hours later, I tested. It was 112. Pretty good, huh? So far my bg's have been 110, 122, 165, 114, 123, 109, 120, 123 and 112. This is only my third day of using a meter. The 165 is from eating just a little rice! I've decided to eat no grain carbs from now on. I take no medicine, this is just diet control. So.....am I doing good? (wsm311@...)

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 wendy. i would say yes, but i'm absolutely not the expert. personallly, i think finding out which foods (like the rice) that upset you, and then avoiding them, is super. i just " had " to eat a piece of chocolate. for the first time in ages, my BS went to 70ish, and i felt 'funny'. i'm on meds, and i'm guessing that when i eat properly, and don't cheat, maybe the meds help too much. i actually had tossed away or eaten everthing else. go i guess i'm going to need to keep on hand either juice, or whatever, so that i can correct the meds. lol. but, as it's said here before, you go girl. pat > > > So.....am I doing good? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 , the 112, was very good 2 hrs after eating You should be able to easily control your diabetes with just diet and mild exercise, and not need medication at present.... And you should not end up with complications of diabetes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 i think first, i'm gonna make an appt. with a diabetes educator. i didn't have time when mom was sick, but all i have is time now. my BS is now at 145, so i relize that's not good. i actually think the doctor may change the two pills in the morning to one. my BP and BS were way weird when i went before, but when i behave, they are pretty much ok, i think. my arm is a mess today because i think i've tested often. i'd love to read Dr. Bernstein's book, but i need to get my eyes uncrossed first. pat > > GO GET GLUCOSE tabs... a pack for your car, one for your bedside, and one > for > your purse... > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbolite brand (dark chocolate, chocolate crisp, chocolate peanut butter, etc.) is a standby for me. I order it by the case from www.netrition.com (great prices, flat shipping charge - NAYY). Pure Delite is another great brand, as is the Ross line of sugarfree chocolates. And Daskalides sugar-free chocolate/hazelnut bars are like 7 mini truffles linked together to make a bar! These bars are all sweetened with maltilol, and sometimes a bit of Splenda. A few people have found that their BGs rise with them, but most people handle them pretty well. You might want to buy one each of a few different types, and check your BGS before, 1 hr after, 2 hrs after as usual to make sure they're ok for you. They are for me (Type II, Avandia and moderate-carb diet). BTW, the laxative effect of the maltilol seems to be something that diminishes with repeated exposure. When I first started eating these bars, I could only handle half a bar. Now I can eat two full bars over the course of an evening (I try not to, but you know, some times of the month....) without problems. -- el (andrea@...) Nevada City, CA, USA " ...wake now!
