measuring carbsFrom: Leslie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 22 Mar 2001 09:44:29 -0800
Hi Terri, When you measure carbs, look at the serving size on the package, and subtract the amount of fiber for your total amount of carbs per serving. If you eat carbs, try to incorporate some form of protein with it (i.e.. peanut butter with apple), since this will slow down the absorption rate of the carbs. When someone says they are sticking to 30 carbs per meal, it means that they are looking at the serving size/information and going by that. This information is printed on packages in the USA, but not in Canada. I don't know about the rest of the globe. You might have to get some help through the serving/shopping guides published by Atkins or sugar busters if your food labels don't mention them. Some carbs have different glycemic indexes from others. This basically means that it is more difficult for us to digest some things than others, such as whole wheat vs. white wheat. Many people use the glycemic index as a guide for that. By sticking to a low glycemic diet, the body doesn't have as much of a challenge dealing with insulin overload. Leslie
