No White at Night

Rate this topic


Guest guest

Recommended Posts

I was watching the news last night, and they had a local (Olympia) doctor, a

cardiologist, who had gained some weight but decided Atkins didn't work for him

because it was too restrictive of carbs, but he wanted to stay higher on protein

and lower on carbs. His plan, which he has written (of course) is called No

White at Night -- after lunch, no white carbs. I had to chuckle, I could just

hear VitaMom telling him white food can be bad.

His plan is very simple -

1. Eat 3 meals a day, with protein as the main feature in each one.

2. Exercise for 30 minutes a day, even it if its a leisurely walk.

3. Don't eat white food (starches & carbs) after lunch.

That's it! I don't know about the 3 meals -- in my case, at least a couple of

times a day between those meals, I'd need a protein shake. The 30 minutes of

walking certainly wouldn't hurt. And the no white food is wisdom to live by.

It's not bad, it's not drastic, and for his patients, who of course are normies,

if they really GOTTA have that piece of cake, they can have it, as long as they

have it in the morning.

Just thought I'd share, because I was especially taken by the No White rule.

Very interesting. ...

Back in the 70's my mom took me to a " bariatric " doctor. I took meds that

he gave out but I don't think any were amphetamines. I don't know. ... but

the diet part was simple to remember

very similar. No whites... including what some call good carbs like

potatoes. No sugars including honey and the so-called healthy sugars. I

think fruit was okay. Don't remember that one. Milk never to drink ... just

to add to coffee. Don't take seconds. He told me to buy the Canadian Air

Force Exercise program booklet. (I don't even know if it is still around)

Oh and I had to take a good multiple vitamin daily.

I felt wonderful while on the program and was rarely sick. Lost a lot of

weight quickly which I maintained for 5 years until I got married and went

on birth control pills and some other negative things going on. I also

moved out of the area.

I wouldn't be surprised if the pills turned out to be placebos. (They

looked like M & M's and were different colors after different meals and

changed every two weeks)

Funny how I remember all the " bad " things about what didn't work but forgot

the things that did work. Thanks for reminding me.

Now see, I don't consider potatoes to be a good carb. It turns to sugar

to fast in the blood stream. I would consider vegetables (excluding

potatoes, corn, and peas) as well as most fruit to be the good carbs.

They are the complex carbs and they have a different effect on our blood

sugar. Our bodies naturally process them slower. JMHO.

Wow. I LIKE that. Since a feature of our disease is night munchies, that

would help a lot. Then people would not feel as deprived (pasta for lunch),

AND not egged onto the munchies with the carbs.

Interesting concept.

Oh I don't consider potatoes as good carbs either. But some of the " normies "

do. hehehehe. I was not allowed to have rice either.

Truthfully too I think not eating all that junk was what made me less tired

although there are some in my family who think it was the meds. We will

never know. I do know I didn't have that " buzz " that people supposedly got

from appetite supressants back in the day. I fell asleep without a problem

and got a good night's sleep.

An excerpt from: http://diabetes.about.com/library/mendosagi/nmendosagi.htm

" The problem is that even among the complex carbohydrates not all are

created equal. Some break down quickly during digestion and can raise blood

glucose to dangerous levels. These are the foods that have higher glycemic

indexes. Other carbohydrates break down more slowly, releasing glucose

gradually into our blood streams and are said to have lower glycemic

indexes. "

If one can not burn off the carb fast enough, those carbs actually turn your

system into storing them as fat. White Flour based carbs have fairly high

glycemic indexes. So I'm guessing his theory could be that you are most

active during the day and can burn it off better than at night. I do

believe that some ppl have something in side them that regulates their

reaction to carbs so their reaction to these high glycemic foods are not

drastic like some of us, but in some ppl this regulator is broken. It was

in me and that is why I watch my white flour carbs. I really don't watch my

other carbs and I do not carb count since I eliminate sugary carbs like

candy etc, not much is left but my veggies/fruit. In college, my roommate

and I had the same job and the exact same classes. So we got the same

exercise daily. I would eat half of what my roommate would eat, and my

roommate would lose 5 lbs and I would gain it. Most of my college food?

Top ramen and pasta and sandwiches. Cheapest thing we could get. Now of

course there are other factors, muscle, metabolism etc..but while I was

sleeping from the dinner, my roommate felt ok, maybe not as good as my

roommate would have if we had had a more nutritious dinner.

White carbs are just not my staple in my diet and I feel so much better. I

can't believe I put 4 garlic croutons on my salad when I would have eaten

the entire box in prolly 2 sittings before. I've had my croutons for like a

month.

But look at how long we thought that a baked potato with diet butter and low

yogurt on top was a healthy meal!! At least I did. My favorite fast food

diet lunch was a 's baked potato with chili on top. No butter, no sour

cream, no cheese, just the potato and chili. I don't completely avoid

potatoes (they're not a trigger food for me), but I rarely make a meal out

of one. Sometimes I'll still have my " diet lunch " at 's even, but now

it's because I like it. And I make sure that there's butter on the potato

and sour cream & cheese on top of everything. :)

Trigger or not a trigger?

And whether calories can burn after we slow down for the night.

My folks sent me to a " bariatric " doc, too, but I KNOW he gave me

amphetamines, and laxatives, and diuretics, and heaven knows what

else. Lost all of 40 lbs until I started seeing things that weren't

there. Mom decided then that we needed to see the doc...his

reaction was " Oh well, I have had patients see chariots coming down

their stair case and they live in a one story house. " Needless to

say, I didn't go back. (and gained all 40 lbs plus back).

LOL makes me think of an expression my Dad likes to say. Bear in

mind that my Dad is sorta a good old boy Wisconsin millwright (also

a diabetic) " Da whiter da bread, da sooner you're dead! " This thread

just made me think of that...

Well, I don't know what kind of backup he has, but the doc's assertion is

that we process carbs differently at night than we do during the day, and

they all end up as fat. Maybe it's the activity level. I remember my dad

lost a bunch of weight once by just cutting down on his evening meal -- and

he didn't really cut calories overall -- he started having his main meal of

the day at noon, (full supper type of meal) and his evening meal was what he

used to have for lunch. It made a lot of difference, and he lost the pounds.

(Hm, I should suggest he try that again, he's struggling with weight).

I figure hey, it's worth a try. It can't hurt anything any worse than where

I am now!
