Sorry for the late reply! I only just noticed that you replied here. I'm based in Birmingham. You say you were born in the UK and currently have family here? It's funny, just yesterday two of my friends moved to Canada from the UK! Would you mind sending me a quick email to the address I used to submit this comment? I'm sure you'll agree that it would be far easier to continue this conversation via email! Thanks, Linda Hi Jim!

Do you not think that 16 ounces of water may be a little high? I usually settle for 1 glass with meals, that is easy when you have to swallow a bunch of pills too.

]]> Comment on Low Carbohydrate Approach in Diabetic Meal Planning by sandalwood http://diabeticmenuguide.com/archives/202/comment-page-1#comment-242 sandalwood Thu, 10 Jun 2010 02:05:25 +0000 http://diabeticmenuguide.com/?p=202#comment-242 Well, if you are thriving on that good luck to you, i wish you all the best. But for the rest us who are of average height and not overweight or not very much overweight, and not excessively active, 5-6000 calories per day is way more than we need to meet our bodies requirements. Carbs are OK, in fact can be great if they are the right type, Low GL, and not too many of course. I try to take in about 25percent protein, 25 percent fats (no more than 10 percent saturated) and 50 percent carbs in a calorie intake of about 2000 per day. I don't gain weight but ddn't lose any either, when my sugars get extra high it is because I've eaten apple pie or some other goody. And none of the meals should be too large, about the same for each is probably the best. Well, if you are thriving on that good luck to you, i wish you all the best.

I have not had "ONE" carb in over a year! All I eat is 1 ribeye and mabe some eggs and bacon a day. I have also had my Cholesterol checked mabe 6 times during the course of a year and my triglycerides are in the low 50's which the doctor's want you to be around 150 benchmark. So I am almost 100 points under benchmark! Triglycerides turns into sugar basically in the system. So how is it possible Saturated fat's make your cholesterol higher? My energy is so high I have to cut back on the fat from steaks sometimes since "fat" is the energy source of my body since I eat this way. My doctor told me after I lost 80 pounds I was in the best shape of my life and then I told him how I was eating. All vitamins and nutrients needed come from meat. America keep drinking and giving Juices to children thinking it is healthy and wonder why your children gets diabetes??? Everyone seems to think they know about what's good for them but has never really read any information about how the body actually works. Keep eating carbs which in return makes a insulin roller-coaster up and down along with blood sugar levels. That's why you get sleepy after a big dinner. Next is diabetes and you will be taking a good ol shot of insulin!!! No such thing as calorie in calorie out! of course if you starve your body you will look like Michael Jackson all frail with no muscle mass and bones. Skinny skeleton? I eat probably 5-6000 calories a day. Sometimes I eat 2 ribeye's a day and I am 35 years old leaner than I was in my 20's. So starving yourself with craving's galore and counting calories is not a fix to people's problems. Saturated fat gives level energy and no craving's since blood sugar and insulin levels are alway's level and not like you on a Six Flags roller coaster. “Saturated fats are associated with health problems such as high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and heart disease.”

Regarding the link exchange, I certainly have no objection, I agree it would be beneficial. May I ask your URL so I can take a look? I am a type-2 diabetic myself, and I do also have a third diabetes site by the way -- and a couple in unrelated subject areas. May I ask where in the UK you are located? I'm always curious when I hear from anyone from the UK because I was born there (a very long time ago) and I have lived in Canada for more than 50 years. But I have a daughter, some grandchildren and a cousin or two living in Southampton. Regards, Jim Robinson. Linda,

My name is Linda Moore and I'm based in the UK. I just found your website while searching on Google and after browsing around for a few moments I thought I would send you a quick email and ask if you would be interested in doing a 3-way link exchange with me? I am interested in a link from the blogroll section of your website diabeticmenuguide.com. And in exchange I will give you a link of equal value from one of my related websites. I own more than one health related website, so we can use 2 of my websites to create a 3-way link exchange for maximum benefit to both of us. All of my websites are high quality and international. If you're interested in doing this, please let me know! Thanks for your time :-) Warm Regards, Linda Hi there Jim, hope you’re well.
