Carborhydrate Foods

Carbohydrate foods

I’ve been told to choose protein
foods over carbohydrate foods.

Carbohydrate foods often are maligned, especially when weight loss or blood glucose control is at stake. For good health, our bodies require a balance of all the main nutrients; carbohydrates, proteins, and fats even.


We need carbohydrates because they supply the energy our bodies need to function. Carbohydrates turn into glucose (sugar) once they are fully absorbed into the bloodstream.


When you increase the protein in your diet, you tend to increase the fat as well because protein foods usually contain some fat. Higher fat intake can lead to weight gain and high cholesterol. Another important thing to keep in mind is total caloric intake. Regardless of the percentage of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in your diet, if your total calories are excessive for your needs, weight gain will occur.


I would recommend you visit a dietitian who can help you design a realistic and balanced meal plan. A personalized meal plan will help you achieve reasonable weight loss and better control cholesterol levels. There’s not need to incorporate soy , although some people find this vegetable protein useful because, depending on the specific product (such as reduced-fat tofu), it is low in calories, and cholesterol.


Keep up the physical activity, since this can help weight loss and cholesterol, too. Water exercises are good choice because they avoid high impact on joint.
Items in this food group contain plenty of B vitamins, protein, iron and thiamin to help your body grow strong. Dry beans and nuts are included in this group because of all the protein they contain. Always try to choose meat, poultry and fish products that are low in fat when it is possible..

My Mom's Play Ground

I took these pictures at my Mom & Dads house. She collects these statues of little children playing and some are angles.

She must have over 30, counting the ones she has in the front yard.
Hope you have a great Saturday.

Healthy Foods Choice

Choosing Healthy Foods
The thought of a diet can feel overwhelming when you’re learning to manage your type 2 diabetes. However, diet is not only about eating less of the foods that you love or about losing weight—it’s also about making some simple lifestyle changes that you can enjoy and stay with. You may be surprised to find that you can eat right while still eating many of the foods that you like. When you have type 2 diabetes, eating well-balanced meals in the correct amounts can help you manage your blood sugar levels.

There always seems to be a story in the media about a food that’s just been found to be good or bad for you. Some basic principles have weathered the fad diets and stood the test of time. Here are some healthful food choices that you and your family can depend on:

Eat lots of vegetables and fruits. To get good variety, choose from the rainbow of colors available. Eat low-starch or nonstarchy vegetables, such as spinach, carrots, broccoli, or green beans, with meals.

Choose whole-grain foods over processed-grain products. Try brown rice with your stir-fry or whole-wheat spaghetti with your favorite pasta sauce.

Include dried beans, like kidney or pinto beans, and lentils in your meals.

Include fish in your meals 2 to 3 times a week.

Choose lean meats. For example, cuts of beef and pork that end in "loin," such as pork loin and sirloin, are good choices.

Remove the skin from chicken and turkey.

Choose nonfat dairy, such as skim milk, nonfat yogurt, and nonfat cheese.

Choose water and calorie-free diet drinks instead of regular soda, fruit punch, sweet tea, and other sugar-sweetened drinks.

Cook with liquid oils instead of solid fats, which can be high in saturated and trans fats. Remember that all fats are high in calories. If you're trying to lose weight, watch your portion sizes of added fats.

Cut back on high-calorie snacks and desserts, such as chips, cookies, cakes, and full-fat ice cream.
If you eat too much, you can gain weight, even if what you’re eating is healthful, so watch your portion sizes.

2. Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?
3. How do you tell when you run out of invisible ink?
4. Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

Sugary treats

Sugary treats

They may give you a momentary burst of energy, but the crash that follows will leave you feeling lower than before;

Head for the seas; or better yet, the seafood counter. Cold-water fish, such as wild salmon, cod, and Atlantic mackerel, contains mood boosting omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are a major component of the brains cell membranes. Of particular importance is DHA. A form of omega 3 that research links to mood regulation and mental function, have connected low blood levels with depression. Eat at least two servings of fish every week or take daily fish-oil capsules containing DHA and another omega 3 EPA.

Sugary treats,
Researching for candies, or cookies when you’re blue may help briefly by giving you a hit of energy high, but the crash that follows can leave you feeling lower than you did before. Carbs raise serotonin, and when and when high, you feel better. The problem with the stuff, though, is that it jacks up your blood sugar levels.
