Reader's Digest & Low Carb

What's wrong with grapes? 1 whole cup has only 14.8 grams of carbs and
who eats an entire cup at a time? Also, don't forget the antioxidents packed in
dark grapes.

The question is, who can stop at a cup??? I don't have a measuring
cup or grapes in front of me, but I figure you can fit, maybe, 10 or
12 grapes maX? That's nothing. I could eat bunches at a sitting and
not even notice. That's why they've been stricken from the list for
the time being. Like candy, they are.

I could and would easily eat an entire bunch, not just a cup. Grapes are
lovely. So I don't eat them at all now.

Same here. Who *only* eats a cup at one time would be my question. That's
not a
whole lot of grapes.

Bob in CT generously shared with us this little ditty:

Personally, I think it's lack of blood sugar swings that cause one to
be full.


I agree. While some might find that protien does the trick for them,
there are those for whom fat works better. I think it's because protien
can be converted at a higher rate than fat to glucose and those who have
insulin issues are more sensitive to that.

For me, protien makes me feel full, but doesn't *last* nearly as long as
fat does. So the more protien I eat, the more calories (in the long
run) I end up eating.
