Give that some carbs must be eaten, what and when, are best please?

Vegetables, vegetables and more vegetables! A steamed artichoke
dipped in melted butter, green beans roasted in oilve oil and garlic,
anything cabbage-like stirfired with some ginger and garlic, okra
fried in butter, sugar-free pickles, fried bell peppers and onions, salads
of
all sorts, sugar-free cole slaw, raw sugar snap peas, etc.

And some low-sugar fruits are good also. Depends on your carb
allowance, of course. For me, I can tolerate a cup of berries or
melon, a kiwi, half a pomegranate or a small peach at lunch or dinner
- never alone (I want protein or fat along with, like mixing the
berries in yogurt or eating a kiwi as dessert after a dinner) and
never at breakfast.

Thank you A lot to think about

Thank you! It is just that I have read here that protein is best
in the mornings; so which food is the best for the rest of the day?

Carbs are worst in the mornings cause of the effect on blood glucose
and insulin is worse then, so it's better to have most of your carbs
at lunch and dinner.

Protein and fat are good as part of every meal.

Thanks again Jackie

If you are a diabetic, then eating your carbs in the am will have a great
affect on your blood glucose levels, for sure. In that case, if you are
going to be eating enough carbs to impact your BG, then it is best to do so
later in the day.

It's true for nondiabetics also. Blood glucose spikes higher after
breakfast. It's probably due to cortisol levels.

Yet, nondiabetics don't get spikes that damage organs, hence is not nearly
an issue as for diabetics.
