    Carbohydrates - The Eating Well Podcast

    Sorry for the long delay in getting a show out. We’ve both had some pretty big shake-ups in our regular schedule and havn’t both been able to get some free time at the same time to record a show. We should be back on track. Carbohydrates #006 The main energy source for our bodies Regardless of what you have heard about the dangers of carbohydrates, they are an important part of a healthy diet. Simple sugars vs. complex carbs Simple sugars: are broken down quickly taste sweet glucose fructose sucrose Complex carbs: fruits & veggies that have fiber lower the risk of cancer, diabetes, hypertension fiberless cerals & grains Glycemic Index: Glycemic index measures how fast & how high our blood sugar rises after consuming a particluar carb. For example white bread has a high gycemic index. White bread will convert to blood sugar almost immediately, resulting in a rapid spike. Compair this to brown rice which has a low gycemic index. Brown rice is digested much more slowly causing a steady rise in blood sugar. The slow rise in blood sugar is what the body prefers. Diets rich in high gycemic index foods often lead to diabetes. Overall, we are more concerned with glycemic load. A good database reference is www.glycemicindex.com Tips: Eat the whole fruits and veggies rather than rely on their juices If you enjoy juice, dilute it with water – “Volumize” Eat potatoes a maximum of once every-other day at lunch time A “good” low carb diet includes fruits, veggies, & whole grains, these 3 combined should be the bulk of one’s calories Easy ways to increase your consumption of whole grains: Oatmeal for breakfast, add fruit is even better! High fiber cereals (Kashi is our favorite) Whole grain breads, with 3+ grams fiber per serving Replace white rice with brown or wild rice(try frozen or microwave types too!) Try whole wheat pasta, there are some on the market with 1/2 wheat & 1/2 white IN THE NEWS CBS is reporting that “Diabetes has become such a pressing healthcare concern in the United States, one in three kids will be diagnosed with the disease at some point in their lives. AND NPIcenter is reporting on the The Natural Marketing Institute’s 2005 Health & Wellness Trends Report where the topic of consumer awareness of the key differences and benifits of low-carb versus slow-carb is on the rise, primarily due to blood sugar control issues and diabetes.

    Special Edition - Holiday Season 2005

    Have a plan Eat light to make extra room in the calorie budget for the week. Eat before you go. low-cal, high volume foods Bring foods you want to eat. veggie platter, SF cranberries Avoid dips, sauces, gravy, and junk-snacks like chips. Drink a lot of water. carry diet soda in wine glass Exercise good subtractive EC when you can, go for a walk to remove yourself from the Env. Beware of the food pushers or bring them on a walk with you. Give yourself a break. Plan to eat something there, decide before you go what it will be, AND HOW MUCH. Allow yourself to have this portion so you don’t feel like you’re missing out. Now if you do eat somthing you didn’t plan on, you should use your skills to change the situation, either by bringing something you can or should have into that environment or by removing something you shouldn’t have. This may also include removing yourself from the situation, go take a walk or play with the kids or something to get away. There are some things you do NOT want to do in response to eating an unplanned food. Do not go nuts and scratch the day or consider it blown. Do not try to purge. This is very unhealthy! If you are considering this as an option you should seek out some counciling. Do not have an exercise binge, to “Make up” for those calories. Do not starve yourself. Get in your nutrition, reguardless of the calories. Realize that it may take a week or more for those calories to show up on the scale. Try to have fun and be social without makeing the entire event about food and eating. No matter how good or bad your day goes, tomorrow is another day. reminder: you can eat more calories in 5 minutes than you can burn off in 5 days
