[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2115547, member: 503481"] We did mention you can weigh your food with food scales and then your family and your husband can judge whether or not it is worth eating. If I weighed 100g of noodles, it might be a tiny portion, but 100g of meat or vegetables is a lot more. I know from experience that 100g of white rice is barely anything, so I rather not eat it and eat something else. Same with cereal, at 30g-40g of cereal is very very little. We also mentioned that you can document your food or keep a food diary of what you eat. Don't look at sugars, just look at carbs because carbs will turn into sugar. But when something is high in sugar like candy, it is just pure sugar and raises blood readings very quickly. Also you can set a limit for your husband, usually under 130g carbs per day is low carb. Under 20g is keto? [B]Everyone is different, so keep testing and record it. Some people manage well at moderate carb around 150g per day. [/B]But from your previous posts, your husband needs to get his numbers down gradually, so low carb might be a motivating and a good starting point to get the ball rolling. [/QUOTE]
