What is your thinking on the matter?

[Guest guest]

which is better? to eat less food high in carbs or lots more food higher in

carbs? for example, for breakfast I had 2 scrambled eggs, 8 ounces of milk and

one slice of dry whole grain bread that has 7 grams of fiber. so looks like my

carb count for breakfast was close to 30 in the 3 items. I may have had more

food with the same 30 carbs, but maybe more calories. most of the time I eat 30

grams of carbs for breakfast and no more then 20 each at lunch and dinner. this

has been working well for me. took off the 25 pounds and been controlling the

sugar keeping it less then 120 97% of the last 3 months. so need to know what

your opinion is on more food with less carbs or less food with more carbs? I use

to think that the more you ate at any meal, then you would be full longer, but

this is so untrue. now that I know first hand about eating the right types of

food I actually now feel fuller longer and I don't get hungry between meals. nor

do I crave junk or high carb foods as I use to. I never would have thought this

could happen and I never gave it a chance to prove me wrong until the past 3

months. actually my biggest meal is breakfast, then lunch and my dinner is

always the smallest meal of my day. I know DR. Burnsting says 6, 12, and 12, but

I would switch out the breakfast and dinner my self. the 12, 12, and 6 may not

work as well, but I would give it a shot first and just find out for my self. I

really am interested in hearing what way of eating and watching or carb in take

has worked best for all of you. we do learn from one another and do support each

other in times of need. this is what makes us a close family!

Which came first, Mark....

Really hard to say--about more carbs less often, or the flip-flop of this.

Actually, in your case, where you're trying to lose weight, your objective is to

take in less, so I'd be thinking about lowering the insulin, and perhaps the

oral meds also, so you would be able to take in fewer carbohydrates.

Have I ever talked about a book I'll never write? Called the POW diet? Not

prisoner of war, but Prisoner Of Weight? Or, Power Over Weight?

It would be a very short book. One page to be specific. And, actually, it

wouldn't be a book most of us could read. Someone would need to describe the one

and only page. Although, there would be some text.

But the page would be mainly focused on a group picture, a black and white photo

of prisoners of war, not unlike prisoners in a Nazi POW camp.

The point of the book would be, no food, or little food, and guess what? You get

skinny.

Hoping this isn't seen as me making light of a serious topic. But then, this is

why I said it's a book I'll never write.

To stress the main point, getting back to your dilemma, Mark, I would think your

best and most logical tactic would be to take in less. And if you're trying to

keep up with the insulin and/or oral meds, having to eat more, it's going to be

harder for you to lose the weight. As it would be for any of us.

I have heard all my life if you don't eat enough calories in a day, your body

will convince it self that you are trying to starve it. so then you can't lose

weight because your body is in the survival mode. Now I think if you throw in a

pile of exercise during the same time you cut the calories, then your body can

think and act how it feels, but the bottom line is the pounds still will come

off. you may not be able to out exercise food if there is lots of it, but I

think the exercise can out do the amount of food if it is cut way down like you

are saying. when I tell folks I'm on 1000 calories a day and no more then 60

carbs, they think I will starve to death before I live to see pounds come off.

lots of folks have simply been brain washed in to only thinking one way works.

I'm faxing in my numbers to the saw bones to morrow and will show him how the 30

units of insulin is to much along with the 2000 mg of met Forman as well. then

throw in 90 minutes on my bike and it is forcing me to eat more carbs to get the

sugar back up. it is kind of like playing both ends to the middle and getting no

where but mad!

The heretofore named " POW " diet is definitely not one I'd recommend. As you say,

Mark, I think you're right about the body going into survival mode. No doubt,

many POW's died, not from starvation, but more directly from their bodies

attacking internal organs to find sustenance.

That sounds like a perfect breakfast for you. There is a good amount of

protein, some fat (which helps make you feel full) and an okay amount of

carbs. If this type of regime is working for you, then keep it up!
