Low Carb Diet?

My Doctor Put Me On A Low Carb Diet Due To My Diabeties. Any Suggestions On What Types Of Foods I Can Buy. She Gave Me A Menu That Stated The Number Of Protein And Complex Carbs To Eat. I Need Help On What To Buy When I Get To The Store.

Thanks
Dream

Re: Low Carb Diet?

Dream,

Usually I am against low carb (high-fat) dieting, but for diabetics with errors in their glucose metabolism, it is another thing entirely.
It is not so much what to buy, but rather what to avoid.
OFF your list is cake, candy, pie, or anything with sugar in it.
OFF your list are high-carb vegetables like pasta, rice, potatoes, corn, cereals, etc.
OFF your list are fruits and bread

ON your list are eggs, meat, green vegetables, salads/salad dressing. You will be eating LOTS of eggs in the morning...LOTS!

No regular sodas, but all the Diet Soda you want (and Diet Jello...probably the ONLY dessert.)

Sort of in between are beans and milk because both have very slowly digested carbohydrates.

Did your doctor give you a spelled out diet with DO's and DON'T's?

Re: Low Carb Diet?

No she didn't give me the do's and don't's. She gave me a sheet that stated: 2 ounces of protein, 1 complex carb and calorie free drink for breakfast, 4 ounces of protein, low carb veggies and salad if desired for lunch. (no limit on low carb veggies), 4-6 ounces of protien, one serving of complex carb, low carb veggies for dinner. snack will be one fruit and one serving of milk. That's all she gave me. She also wants me to have dropped some weight by the next time I see her. I go back in 1 month. So, you see the need for suggestions on what to buy. Thanks for you anwer.

I have been living a low carb lifestyle since 2001. This is a sample of what my diet consisted of:

Breakfast:
Coffee/Tea
Eggs / Breakfast meats
Supplements

Lunch:
Plain Cottage Cheese
Cold Cuts/Cheese Roll Ups
Veggies and Melted Cheese

Snacks:
Nuts
String Cheese/Package Cheeses
Celery with cream cheese

Dinner:
Meat
Green Vegetables

I wouldn't eat dessert because I found that eating processed foods / chemically enhanced foods that alter the natural structure of the food - like low carb cupcakes etc with sugar alcohols would make me feel ill. Not good to eat processed unnatural foods anyway.

Good Luck!
