Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hi Nan: After reading everything here on the list about counting carbs versus exchanges I'm advocating for carb counting when I visit the dietician next week. Since I've already started counting carbs it'll be easier to continue. Becky and Cassidy, Pilot Dog, Poodle maddpoodle27@...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Do not stress out your dietician. When you are recommended an exchange just say umm, I wonder how many grams of carbs are in this item, and umm, how many total grams of carbs are in this meal? I was just wondering, since I heard carb counting is the way to go. What do you think about that?

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hi Harry: That's exactly what I plan to do, too, because I want her help and support. I shall only stress her out if she is difficult to get along with and set in her ways. LOL! I want her opinions on both exchanges and carbs even though I think counting carbs is a lot easier.
