dreamweavers3621 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Didnt do too bad yesterday. On saturday I was out and about and got a bad sunburn waiting on buses. breakfast Blood Sugar 132 at 7:30 am 3 eggs with kaula pig cooked in ghee lunch Blood Sugar 127 12;15 pm 1 cup green beans, hambuger with fried egg, 1 1/4 ring of pineapple I was not really all that hungry. I fixed it and thought to myself if i can eat half the plate i will be great! Ended up eating the whole plate and didnt realize just how hungry i was. dinner Blood Sugar 125 at 5:21pm Smoked sweet potatoe from the grill, with 1 tbsp of ghee, a serving of ground beef and a slice of bacon snack Blood sugar 171 at 8:16 pm 1/4 cup of a mix of raw hazelnuts, cashews, and macadamedia nuts that I roasted in the oven with some coconut oil and sea salt. I think my biggest issue is going to be breakfast and getting fats in. I was hungry at night. Did all the distractions as I read them in the book. Any ideas or tips let me know. I am going shopping for avacados tomorrow morning, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeGA"gardener" Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Good job Dream I was concerned about your sunburn tho As I said above At breakfast add a sweet potato to your Kaluah pig and eggs Can you have a potato in the morning re blood sugar Wouldn't the eggs level it out? Idk I'm not medical MeadowLily and SpinSpin would know better Even the nuts! You know what Meadow says about nuts! I'm sure they have ideas on snacks Yes you absolutely need an extra fat at each meal Avocado is great if you like them I do and they're expensive but easy to add in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamweavers3621 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 going to the doctor tomorrow. its not healing. I have that really senstive skin and even with using sunscreen and protective gear I burn. So, just trying to keep cool now. I do know from now on when I go out to stay out in the cafe etc until the sun goes down or after 6pm. but did discover i like avacados. butternut squash is still not there but the taste buds will change over time according to all the reading I am doing.

I am going shopping for avacados tomorrow morning, Hi dreamweaver Ok, first off you need veggies at breakfast. Your fat was probably fine as the kalua pork can be fatty, plus you had the yolks in the eggs, but you need 1-3 cups of veggies at every meal. Personally I'd say keep your starchy veg for later in the day as fruit & starchy veg in the morning can cause a crash later in the day. Meal two again you need more fat, and more veg. Consider that the fat used for cooking mostly stays in the pan so you can pretty much ignore that. And maybe skip the egg and add a different fat - olives or avocado maybe? Or home-made mayo would all work.... You'll get bored of eggs if you eat them at every meal. Fact. Meal three doesn't look too bad. Did you snack through hunger or through habit? Snacking is discouraged so if it's through hunger up the size of your meals slightly, and if you really must snack (ie. you'd gladly eat some steamed fish & broccoli) then make it a mini meal of proteins, fats & veggies. Nuts will be hard on your digestive system so you really need to moderate their intake if you don't want tummy/bowel troubles. If your snacking was habit, then find yourself a better habit - one that occupies both your mind and your hands.... Well done on getting through day one!

SpinSpin Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Hi Dream! I would work on upping your veggies -- maybe saute up some cabbage and sliced onions with your pork, or maybe some spinach too/instead. I shoot for 3 cups of cooked veggies at meals -- roasted, steamed, sauteed, grilled -- and I do eat upwards of 12 cups a day. If you are hungry at anytime, truly hungry, like steamed fish and broccoli sounds REALLY good, have a mini meal -- some protein, veggies and a fat. An egg, some chicken or beef or whatever you fancy-- even fish-- along with some veggies -- bell peppers, carrots, tomatoes, you choose what you like and then a fat -- olives, mayo, avocado. My dr wants me to have a snack before bed to help keep my blood sugar level overnight because I wake up LOW. Are your blood sugars before or after meals? Do you have a range they want you to keep? I am supposed to be at 72 before meals and no more than 120 an hour after. What you might want to do -- I do this periodically to see how things are going -- I will test before and then an hour after to see how things are going. But lookin good! :-) Just a few tweaks and you will be good to go and rockin it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
