Is this the group for me?
"I need to follow a program of low carb, low sodium and about a 1500
calorie limit. Is anyone here on a program similar to this or can anyone give me some tips. I know Im going to have to start cooking more instead of relying on canned and frozen goods and meals like I have been." Thanks Carol in WV Hang in there. My mother battles diabetes, high chlorestorol, high blood pressure. She has survived a stroke and breast cancer. The biggest thing that she battles is managing a 1250 calorie limit being low carb and low sodium. Some days are a challenge. The biggest thing to get geared up for is the craving for the easy foods. I hope that you find a lot of good recipes and helpful hints on this site. My suggestion is to fall in love with vegetables. It has helped when the only thing on your mind is a big bag of Lay's potato chips. asiegel |

em wrote in message ... "Cheri" gserviceatinreachdotcom say'd I need to follow a program of low carb, low sodium and about a 1500 calorie limit. Is anyone here on a program similar to this or can anyone give me some tips. Hi Cheri, Many people find that once they start an established, recognized low-carb diet plan like Atkins or Protein Power, that the weight drops *reasonably* fast (especially at first), and that their hunger limits itself to healthful levels. That happened for me and I know others will say the same. In other words, it may not be necessary for you to count calories. I didn't write the above post Mike, a newly diagnosed diabetic did. I've been here for many years, and have been LC for years as well due to diabetes. However, even though my hunger is under control, I always have to count calories. YMMV :-) Cheri |

Mike Go here http://www.camacdonald.com/lc/LowCar...ng-Recipes.htm click on salads and salad dressing. Lots of great recipes there from this group. I do have a good one from a restaurant I used to work at. I will dig it out later and post it. Take care. Cheri |

Um, well, yeah and no. I have the health I've been able to salvage out of the adverse effects of decades of medical matreatment and pituitary/adrenal problems. Folks with Cushing's syndrome, PCOS, Prader-Willi, glucocorticoid resistance syndromes get fat and suffer severe effects no matter how diligently they take care of themselves. So, congrats to those folks lucky enough to get good, predictable results from diet and exercise. Some of us just manage to avoid gaining weight with diet, and actually add fat due to cortisol elevations from exercise. Mainstream dietary recommendations DO tend to promote the endocrine conditions that worsen obesity and all health risks in these groups. To the OP and any others who've struggled despite diligent good efforts, don't let anyone blame you or judge you for it. Susan Of course we all start from different health points. What I meant was that you are responsible for how your diet affects your condition. I hope that this formulation is more readily accepted. If you smoke, drink alcohol and eat unhealthy food just to fall to one "welfare disease" or another, it is just not good enough to state that "I didn't know" or "everyone else was doing that". That was what I meant. |
