20 carb question
« on: January 17, 2011, 11:46:19 AM »
"what  if I eat no carbs all day and then have 20 at dinner ?"  I wasn't sure if Doug touched on this in the book or not . My sister has just been diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes . She finally listen to me and cut the carbs down and she has lost 10 Lbs . But she ask me this question and I was not sure how to answer . My thoughts were that it would be better to spread them out thru the day unless you have a special occasion So was I correct or does it matter ?

Maybe it's just me... But I fear eating too many carbs at one time.
I've tried to keep my net carb intake to no more than about 6 grams (or less) per meal/snack.
In fact, most of the time, it is usually 4 or less.

I imagine for many folks, eating 20 carbs at one time is not a problem.
But since I lose weight slowly as it is, I'm not going to tempt fate.
What you do today is what matters!

I know people say if you eat the carbs earlier in the day you have the chance of burning them off. However, I eat the majority of them as late in the day as I can, if I don't I can't make it through the night without waking up and thinking I will die if I don't eat. I'm not sure if it is low blood sugar or what. Someone suggested it is my liver not processing things correctly. I think once again it may be that we all have different issues and need to know our own bodies.

Truth is I'd have a hard time putting together a plate with 20 carbs on it at one time! All the foods I eat are low carb so either I would have to eat a high carb food of a dang bucket full of low carb choices  :o :o
