Any vegetarians/vegans following a "Zone" type diet? Recently I decided to follow a balanced meal rule similar to the Zone diet, but I'm having trouble coming up with meals that fit the rules (ie portions of carbs-protein-fat being 50-35-15). I'm also trying to stick to the low Glycemic index foods as well. Any suggestions for meal ideas? I eat eggs, but I'm lactose intolerant and don't eat processed cheeses so I don't often get dairy. Soy isn't an option either, as I'm trying to eliminate most of it from my diet (thyroid problems=P). How about any ideas for low-cal/low-sugar dips or seasonings for both raw and cooked veggies? I'm asking a lot, but any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Lean Cuisine frozen dinners work as good as Nutrisystem? I wanted to try Nutrisystem but it is way expensive. I see the frozen dinners in the grocery store like Lean Cuisine and Weight Watchers, SmartChoice, etc. Will these work the same? I know they are low calorie and low fat, but Nutrisystem claims they have this system of food with glycemic index.... does these frozen meals offer the same? I don't see it anywhere on the box. Thanks.

Can someone help me with choosing meal plans that will help me lose some weight? I've done a little research about how many grams of this and that I need and read up onthe glycemic index of foods and what my caloric intake should be for my goalsbut all the information can be overwhelming. Basically I need some pointers to help me compose a daily/weekly meal plan. I know I can stick to a meal plan I just need help deciding what I should eat, how much and how often. Once I have something composed that meets with all the "numbers" healthwise, I will be good to go... I am a female 5'5" 165 lbs. my caloric intake should be about1600 if i want to lose weight. I needs about 25-30g fat per day, 60-75 g protein and 220-275 g carbs.Ideally I need someone to take these numbers and create a meal plan to get me started. oh yeah and i'll eat almost any kinds of food, but i can adapt any foods if I need to.... Thank you!

Too much fiber and energy loss? Im trying to gain some weight by building muscle so I have been weight lifting 5 days a week. I also eat a small meal every 3 hours but I only eat low glycemic index foods. It seems like the more low glycemic index foods I eat, the less energy I have. Lately I have not been able to make it through 1/4 of my workout. The moment I start trying to exert energy, I get real lethargic and my eyes get heavy and headaches like I haven't slept in days. I drink plenty of water and my urine is clear so I know im not dehydrated. My friend says that because of all the low glycemic index foods and fiber that it is taking longer for my body to process and by that my body is actually drainning energy. She also said that im probably not getting enough carbs because of the fiber. I only get about 40-70grams of fiber a day. Any ideas?

How many points will 5 grams of carbohydrate raise your blood sugar? Yes, I do realize it probably varies from person to person and what kind of food you are eating (glycemic index). I'm trying to explain to someone why they can not eat all of their allowed carbohydrates in one large meal a day.

Diabetic cat weight gain. VERY concerned.? My little female Russian blue mix 13-year-old spayed cat, who had to be encouraged to eat and tended to be low weight, became diabetic last November. She is on insulin injections twice daily. She is sedentary, though I do plan on taking her outside on a leash while I putter in the flower beds, etc. She is playful and fun. Her optimal weight is 9 lb 2 oz, but she has ballooned to over 11 pounds and doesn't seem to want to top out. I have reduced her caloric intake. I feed Merrick low glycemic index foods, flavors ranging from 140 to 160 kcal/can, one can daily, plus a tablespoon of grain-free, weight management, senior, kibble, and occasionally a half tablespoon of cat tuna. Restricting her caloric intake has not slowed her weight gain! I really love this delightful little spirit and I am terribly worried about this weight thing. I need to get her runaway gaining to stop, and then reverse. She is like the Very Hungry Caterpillar, always begging for food, and I simply force her to fast between meals and have limited her intake. I am reluctant to feed a prescription diet, because the ingredients of the prescription foods are not as good as Merrick. I do not buy into the Wysong philosophy of lots of protein and high fat. I do give her bits of raw meat from time to time, but I am not a devotee of the raw foods philosophy as a solution to diabetes. I have a wonderful veterinary clinic, but there are problems there, and I'm considering taking her to a clinic that specializes in cats. Her fructosamines are good, but this weight thing has aged her, slowed her down, and it will kill her. I would really appreciate input/responses from folks in the Answers community who are veterinary professionals or who have a beloved furball with whom they have had a similar problem. HELP! I'm very concerned. Thanks for any help.

I follow a Low-fat, low-GI, low-sodium diet, and I'm worried about my micronutrients...? By strictly getting only 10% of my calories from fat, and generally not consuming food with high glycemic index, most of my meals are based in legumes and grains. I also try to eat at least a fruit every day and lots of tea. Do you think that there is something lacking in my diet? I'm worried about micronutrients. Can you suggest improvements, keeping the three lows in it?

I have tooo many questions.....? I'll make it simple. 1.) How do you figure the glycemic index of a food? 2.) How many carbs should one have per meal/day? 3.) Is the old diabetic food pyramid still in use, if so, for which diagnosis? 4.) For diabetes with hypoglycemia, do you think Doc will put me on medication (I know, it's just your opinion) 5.) My bg is running 140-150 3 hours after a meal,,,.. then it drops to a number usually in the 60's. Like a bomb. Fast. 6.) I am NOT overweight, 5' tall, 110 lbs. 53 yrs old. I have heart disease which is complicating the veggie thing. I take blood thinners, so dark green leafies have been OUT for me for years. Exercise is limited. Sheesh....... Any answers? Any suggestions?? My nerves are gonna get the best of me. Monday I go to Doc, but I have a feeling he is gonna send me to an endocrinologist. More delay. WHAT do I do NOW?? Thank you all so very much

How many calories for a 300 pound diabetic daily? Please dont answer with consult a nutritionist. I would prefer to get an answer from a nurse or nutritionist or someone who knows more because they have personal experience and has spoken with a nutritionist before. my brother in law recently found out he has type 2 diabetes. he is not yet on any insuline. he is actually borderline diabetic. judging by how well he can keep his diet under control they will decide wether or not to give him insuline. he has no insurance and he and my sister are very poor with 4 kids. they cant go to a nutritionist. when I was pregnant I had gestational diabetes which is a little different than type 2 diabetes but I know that the foods I ate are the foods any diabetic should eat. I know what is low on the glycemic index so Im hoping I can help him work out a diet plan with some online research and help from you guys. he is 300 pounds and about 5'11 in height. I was told when I was pregnant to eat 45 grams per a meal and 30 per a snack and eat 6 times a day. it is hard to compare a pregnant women and a 300 pound male. i dont have enough experience to predict the amount of carbs he should be eating is there anyone who can answer the question for me please! again I will say, i know a nutritionist would be the best choice but he isn't going to one so please just give me advice if you have any knowledge on the subject, thank you.

Is this bad advice from my doctor for diabetes and my diet? I generally eat a very healthy whole food diet for the most part. By volume. it is over 60 or more produce with a wide variety of produce maybe 15-20 kinds of veggies and 5-6 kinds of fruit a day, 90% whole grains, free range meats maybe 4-5 meals a week, healthy fats, nuts and seeds and occasional free range dairy/eggs. I kept a food dairy for 4 days..when I gave it to her, she checked off every fruit and grains..told me not to eat kashi buckwheat pancakes, oatmeal, brown rice, tabouli, brown rice or whole grain spaghetti and every fruit such as berries, apples, grapes, etc except unsweetened lemons she said I could have. I have metabolic syndrome and possibly diabetes along the last aic was 5.9 just under the 6.0 wire. I think it is unhealthy to leave out all carbs like that..the grains are complex carbs and although the fruit is considered simple sugar, it does have fiber to help it. Is this good advice or should I continue eating as I do and work towards improving the occasional messups. I am not sure what regular doctors recommend with blood sugar problems on diet..my doctor is an allopath but she is very, very into alternative health. Are whole grains and fruits bad for me to eat. I am worried as my blood sugar was high today as I messed up and went to a Chinese buffet and this has me thinking if I should avoid carbs. I had heard eating low on the glycemic index was good for blood sugar.

How bad is white flour if you eat it with healthy foods? I've been into the fitness scene for a few years now. Nothing hardcore, but I know my healthy foods and lifestyles. I eat whole grains like brown rice and whole grain breads when I can, but things like pasta and rice noodles I like to have made from regular old white flour. I sometimes take white rice as well. I find myself frequently wondering how bad white flour can really be if eaten in a balanced diet with an active lifestyle. It seems there's an unusually strong movement to really throw white flour out on the curb these days. It's almost as if people are looking for something to blame their own deficiencies on. I understand studies have shown quite a bit, but there's no way one food could so significantly exacerbate the health problems we see in America today. As we know, white flour products such as white bread, white pasta, white flour noodles, all purpose flour, etc. are a high glycemic index (GI) food that cause spikes in insulin and provide no real nutritional value outside of calories. But, many people don't eat these by themselves. When I have foods such as white flour pasta or white rice noodles, I like to have lots of fiber filled food and protein alongside (vegetables and lean meats), just as I do with any other meal. Wouldn't this essentially lower the collective GI of my meal and slow absorption into my body? I'm fairly sure there are a great number of fit individuals out there who have consumed white flour products all their lives without a second thought. What separated them from the bunch, aside from genetics? Regular exercise actually sensitizes our bodily tissues to the presence of insulin, and may serve as a "buffer" against insulin spikes which would otherwise wear down a normal person. Finally, quite a few studies have shown that one of the biggest factors in weight loss and maintenance is simply calorie consumption. If the composition of the diet is within reasonable boundaries (high carb, low fat, high protein or high fat, high protein, low carb), fit individuals can be produced from both types of lifestyles. If we eat white flour in a sensible diet that is within our caloric range for the day and exercise regularly, won't we be just fine? Thanks in advance for all your input -- I don't claim to be an expert on this subject. It's just a view. I'd rather hear your experiences rather than be spoonfed advice from mass media.
