Question 1

which type of foods do i avoid that are high in carbs?

Accepted Answer

Multiple: It's not advisable to avoid foods with carbohydrates as they often contain multiple sources of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.  These are vegetables, fruits, breads, and cereals. The only other food groups are proteins and fats and, while important in a balanced diet, should not be eaten exclusively.

Question 2

how much carbs should a person with diabetes have daily. which food must be completely avoided if both fasting and pp are high inspite of medications.

Accepted Answer

Depends: In general, the less carb you take , the better off you are with diabetes. But a life totally without carb can be an unpleasant one.   As to how much, it would depend on your lifestyle (how much exercise etc) and severity of your condition and thus you need to consult a dietitian re. your diet.

Question 3

my friend had high fat low carb diet and omit wheat, rice, sugar oat and all other cereals from food list. is it safe? m indian n can"t forego wheat.

Accepted Answer

Fad diet: This "pop" diet -- despite the elaborate "scientific theory" presented by its proponents -- probably works like most of the other diet fads by limiting food choices. It's your friend's business; i trust this person will use appropriate, cost-effective supplements as needed if it's too restrictive.

Question 4

hba1c6.6 weight330pounds height6.1ft my doctor has asked me to lose weight and follow a healthy diet to reverse diabetes without medication my concern is whether i should completely avoid sweets and chocolates and high carb food for now and for life?

Accepted Answer

: It is best for everyone (diabetic or not) to limit sweets, chocolates, and high carb/processed foods for the long run.  Completely eliminating can be very difficult, and often times causes people to "fall off the bandwagon".  It is recommended to eat a balanced diet, of whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and always combine fat, carbs and protein to help keep your blood sugar stable.

Question 5

what is high carb diet and why do people avoid it ?

Accepted Answer

Unhealthy: Carbohydrates are the major feeder of fat cells in the body so a high carb diet is likely to lead to weight gain.  High carb diets are also generally very low in fats. This can be helpful for someone with heart disease but some types of fats, such as omega-3s are healthy and provide good health benefits. High carb diets are generally not well regarded.

Question 6

what would be the most common low carb but high in fibre food?

Accepted Answer

Vegetables: Most vegetables are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber. Fruits are higher in carbohydrates and lower in fiber than vegetables. Meat has no fiber, fowl and fish have no fiber. Whole grains and beans may contain a good amount of fiber but are high in calories compared to vegetables. Make half your plate fresh vegetables and youre off to a good start.

Question 7

what are examples of some good/bad fats and carbs? please list as much as possible because sometimes if i see something high in fat, ill think its bad

Good=plant/fish fat: Good carbs are whole grains. Bad carbs are refined carbs ("white" sugar, bread, rice, and the darth vader evil high fructose corn syrup).

Question 9
