[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2229721, member: 475037"] I’m not sure I could even begin to tell you his carbs. He likes to eat and has always had a habit of grabbing the quickest thing to eat when he was hungry. If he had brought home 4 bags of potato chips for the week, 4 bags would have been consumed. At least he wasn’t a soda drinker. But if there was ever a case of someone eating the wrong stuff that caused their own issue it was him. So he snorkels 4 times a week, takes a walk every day. He also is out and about, errands etc, yard work daily? He now snacks on healthier things when he’s hungry, like carrots, mushrooms, he loves cherry tomatoes. He’ll make a quick salad or fake hot dogs on whole wheat bread, bean burritos as quick meals now. Besides not eating “junk food” all the time he doesn’t restrict other foods in general. He has asked me along the way though what foods will spike his sugar levels etc and I have told him a lot of it is portions and his junk food snacking. I had a couple of extra Libres and that was the best thing for him because he could see directly what was going on. But I would have to say he probably eats a regular carb level daily. Since he had slowly kept gaining weight he was eating “too much”. The solution for him is to keep losing weight and a high activity with exercise. And stopping all that junk food as fill up food. I am just saying some people don’t need to low carb, just clean up their eating habits and adding exercise or losing weight can make a difference. I’ve seen that in several people. It does run in his family. His mom didn't develop a problem until she was in her late 70's, and always a normal weight, but his one sister who has been overweight for years developed a problem years ago, It's interesting to note the one sister that is not overweight and is a pescatarian, has always been highly active and careful about what she eats does not have any sign of a sugar problem. The weight issue/eating patterns? seems to be a real key in his family. [/QUOTE]
