IMHO, five carbs is way too low, even for someone with diabetes. If
this is the only reason why you're low carbing, you should (gradually)
find out the MOST carbs you can have WITHOUT a problem-sized insulin
spike. That's going to be a magic number that's different for
everyone but once you find it, it will make it a lot easier for you to
find foods to eat.

Eventually you'll learn which foods have sufficient proteins, fats,
and fibers to slow down the digestion of the carbs you eat, which
reduces the insulin problems diabetics have. Find a balance that
works for you, don't try to be extreme if it isn't called for.

If you have an Atkins book, read the seconds on ongoing weight loss,
maintenance, and the CCLL and CCLM numbers.

Unless the "prescription" was for 5 carb exchanges, which would be 75
grams of carb.

Hi, my name is Willie Faison and I'm sending this to you because I
care about whats happening to us and our families. I'm doing this to
inform you and to help you if you're looking for help in weight-loss
or well-being.

As Americans we enjoy one of the most luxurious lifestyles on earth
and it's killing us. Why, because our food is plentiful, our work is
automated and our leisure is effortless. This lifestyle has caused
many Americans to become overweight. We're fat not only because we
eat a lot, but also we eat the wrong things. Adult women are now
eating 335 more calories per day then they did in 1971. And adult men
have increased their daily intake by 168 calories. We each ate 1,775
pounds of food in 2000, up from 1,497 pounds in 1990.
In America we've increased our intake of carbohydrates. Sugars and
starches have become the staples of the American diet. The food
pyramid guidelines told Americans to avoid fat and eat grains, but the
grains we are eating are flour-based items such as; pasta tortillas
and hamburger buns, which have little or no nutritional value at all.
As a result we're loaded up on pasta and bread, causing the low fat
message to backfire. Currently we're eating more vegetables as we
follow the USDA's food guide pyramid issued in 1992 but there are
serious flaws in it because some vegetables listed like iceberg
lettuce could have been substituted for healthier choices with much
higher nutritional values like romaine, spinach.

You should be aware that high-fat-carbohydrate meals raise your
cholesterol levels and send your blood sugar soaring! Which puts you
at greater risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. To make
matters worse nutritionists are explaining the dangers of inflammation
of the blood vessels, which cause soft tissue damage to your joints!

Our body mass index (BMI) is a measurement of body weight relative to
height. A person with a BMI OF 30 or more is considered obese - and
at a higher risk of disease, such as diabetes, stroke, osteoarthritis,
heart disease and other forms of serious cancer. Obesity-related
diseases cost the United States more than 100 billion dollars
annually. In 2005, being overweight is predicted to surpass smoking
as the leading cause of preventable death in the country.

PITFALLS OF OBESITY!

That would be much more sensible, but if so, the OP needs to be more
clear, esp on this forum where a "carb" is a gram of carbohydrate. Of
such misunderstandings are major problems born.

Either way, there's no way to know if it's too low or too high cause
diabetes is not a one-size-fits-all type of deal; you have to test your
bg to know if you're overeating carbs or if you can tolerate a bit more.

If the OP's "struggles" with low-carb have to do with cheating, I'd
suggest doing a week or two of induction to break the overall carb
addiction.

Then add carbs back in gradually, mostly from non-starchy veggies and
low-sugar fruits, until you find the ideal carb level.

Weight loss in only one variable; diabetics must eat low enough carb to
manage bg also: http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/NewlyDiagnosed.htm

Helllo,

I have just started my diet, and restricted my food to:

-egg whites, fried, with chicken spice
-low fat, low carb fresh chease 1pound=410kcal with chicken spice.
-plenty of water

once a week I have some food like vegetables of fruits
I have lost 8 pounds in 23days

You should find pro advice. And also get a second opinion.
Every person is different, so get an expert opinion.

-

That should speed up your loss! Good luck.
