Help with Low carb foods?!


Question: Help with Low carb foods?
I've converted to eating healthy. But I'm still getting too many carbs in my diet I don't get it. I eat lettuce spinach carrots onions apples oranges pineapple etc I eat boneless skinless chicken breasts turkey burgers whole wheat bread etc.

Answers:

dont eat carbs after 5 pm , eat 5 small meals a day with like 3 hours between meals with carbs such as grains,breads in only 2 of those meals. carbs like fruit are good whenever.



Oranges, apples, and pineapple aren't low-carb enough to lose weight on. Stop eating them until you reach the weight and shape you want. Keep onions and carrots, but eat them sparingly until you reach your goals. No breads or pasta whatsoever. You can have them as a treat, again, after you reach your goals, but they are too high in carbs to eat more than a couple times a month.

If you like skin on your chicken, go for it. Fat is okay to eat (as long as it's natural, healthy fat). Drink only diet sodas, sugar-free drinks, coffee, tea, and water.



Well I am a type 2 diabetic and I can tell you this, limit the fruit to 2 a day. Add fibre by eating black beans like in chili. Limit bread to 2 pieces. eat gram crackers 2 for a snack, or sugar free jello with fruit. Asparagus and celery radishes and tomatoes are good. If you are worried about blood sugar number then you have to journal food and check your am numbers in the am. The amount of food you eat is another thing here, you have to have portion control, like not more than a cup of anything per food, per meal. Dairy is okay but lowfat and only one. and only 2oz of cheese like laughing cow. Remember to walk a mile everyday. And drink water a few times also.



Well sure you are getting carbs, vegetables and fruits still have carbs, but they are good carbs. From my time on the diet carrots, tomatoes and onions actually have a quite a few carbs you might try some cucumber or celery with some peanut butter instead. Or some hummus, which is great for you.

For optimal health, I advocate a low carb way of eating. As long as you have <9grams carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control & shouldn't gain weight, no matter the calories, because insulin (the ONLY fat storage hormone) isn't activated.

I personally believe in using fat as fuel instead of carbohydrates. Fat is totally benign in the absence of insulin. There aren't enough calories in vegetables & fruits to fuel the body, if you get enough calories from carbs to fuel the body, then you maintain an almost constant high insulin level with roller coaster blood glucose levels. I recommend fats from butter, coconut, olives, avocados, nuts, fish & meats, chia seeds & flax seeds.

When you restrict higher carb, lower nutrition foods, it becomes much easier to greatly increase vegetables in your diet. Change your mindset just adapt it to low carb -
replace bread with lettuce
replace pasta with cabbage
replace rice with cauliflower
replace potatoes with brocolli

High carb levels trigger insulin which unbalance other hormones, promote inflammation, weight gain, hunger. Controlling insulin levels will balance out other hormones and allow sex hormones (testosterone in men) & human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so lean muscle will be gained even without exercise.

Carbohydrates trigger insulin, the fat storage hormone. Protein triggers the fat burning hormone, glucagon.

Highly nutritious foods you should consider: avocados, sardines, sprouts, spirulina, paprika, turnip greens, mustard greens, kale, garlic, brewers yeast, raw almonds, ground flax seeds & chia seeds.

7 Reasons to Eat More Saturated Fat

1) Improved cardiovascular risk factors

Saturated fat in the diet is the only means to reduce the levels of lipoprotein (a) — that correlates strongly with risk for heart disease. Eating fats raises the level of HDL, the good cholesterol.

2) Stronger bones

Saturated fat is required for calcium to be incorporated into bone - According to expert in human health, Mary Enig, Ph.D., as much as 50% of fat in the diet should be saturated fats.

3) Improved liver health

Studies show that saturated fat encourages the liver cells to dump fat content. Saturated fat has been shown to protect the liver from toxic insults & even to reverse the damage.

4) Healthy lungs

The fat content of lung surfactant is 100% saturated fatty acids. Replacement of these critical fats by other types of fat makes faulty surfactant & potentially causes collapse of the airspaces & respiratory distress.

5) Healthy brain

Your brain is mainly made of fat & cholesterol. Most of the fatty acids in the brain are saturated. The brain needs saturated fats to function optimally.

6) Proper nerve signaling & hormone production

Certain saturated fats, found in butter, lard, coconut oil, function directly as signaling messengers that influence the metabolism.

7) Strong immune system

Saturated fats found in butter & coconut oil play key roles in immune health. Loss of sufficient saturated fatty acids in the white blood cells hampers their ability to recognize & destroy foreign invaders, such as viruses, bacteria, & germs. We need them to keep the immune system vigilant against cancerous cells & infectious invaders.

Plaque build up in the arteries are more attributable to carb consumption than dietary fats, which seems to be the conclusion of the following study. Carb consumption raises triglycerides & VLDL (bad cholesterol). Fats raise the HDL (good cholesterol). High triglyceride levels & low HDL levels are an indicator of plaque, glycation - the precursors to a heart attack and heart disease.

study from the Oxford group examining the postprandial (after-eating) effects of a low-fat vs. low-carbohydrate diet. (Roberts R et al, 2008)

Postprandial lipoproteins, you'd think, would be plentiful after ingesting a large quantity of fat, since fat must be absorbed via chylomicrons into the bloodstream. But it's carbohydrates that figure most prominently in determining the pattern and magnitude of postprandial triglycerides and lipoproteins. Much of this effect develops by way of de novo lipogenesis, the generation of new lipoproteins like VLDL after carbohydrate ingestion.

The link between saturated fats and heart health was based on faulty science & has been disproven. Dietary fat, whether saturated or not, is not a cause of obesity, heart disease, or any other chronic disease of civilization. Through their direct effects on insulin and blood sugar, refined carbohydrates, starches and sugars are the dietary cause of coronary heart disease and diabetes.

FINALLY they admit - no difference in the risk of heart disease even with highest intake of saturated fat & eggs are a superfood & have no effect on cholesterol
