Good cholesterol

Hubby had a fasting blood test today after low carbing for only the month of February. The good news was his triglycerides dropped significantly to 66 and his blood glucose numbers improved - so he's encouraged to soldier on. How do you deal with hunger? He still hasn't talked to a dietitian, but his Dr told him to cut back on saturated fats due to a heart blockage that was taken care of with stents and he has to watch sugars because of prediabetes. I'd like him to eat brown rice and whole wheat products but he's avoiding rice, corn and wheat except for a couple of slices of w/w bread per day for a sandwich at lunch. BTW: he's not overweight and weight loss isn't a goal - but low carb seems to be doing good things for his numbers. Do you have any insights for me about controlling hunger? -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |
