Nutrition. Diet. Diabetes tendency. Stones possibilities, possible stones.

I can do some of this.... I am an R.N. and very interested in nutrition, but
not a physician, nor a dietician... Anyway, I am resting from my
pre-cooking efforts and will go for what I know something about below....

****The only connections that I have read about re: stones are.. Kidney stones and excess calcium
consumption (mostly in men) Gallstones from "drastic" dieting, (as in the protein sparing fasts that
were popular in the '70's, and some of the very low calorie diets of today)

Quoted message said:

b. How do you reinforce dietary nutrition recommendations plateauing after some success?...

****Remotivation if it is a case of a plateau from gradual slipping regarding portion control.
remotivation such as lists of Why one wants to lose, participation in group efforts for support etc.
**If the plateau is from a long term very low calorie diet, resumption of a healthy diet and
exercise regimen, especially strength training with enough calories to support basic metabolism and
some for building muscle. Patience and perseverance.

Quoted message said:

c. How do you get portioning right ?...

*** A food scale. Measuring cups. Rational methods, such as a serving of protein is the approximate
size of the palm of your hand (without fingers) a serving of grains is the approximate size of a
normal fist, a serving of lower fat dessert such as low fat ice cream is the size of a medium
lemon.... If faced with a fried protein source, cut the serving size in half... that sort of thing.

d. What are the logistics of reserving, storing partial packages and canned eats?...

I use a seal a meal packaging system for leftovers I want to freeze, they can be reheated in boiling
water. I use regular zip lock bags for things I will eat soon. If it is half a can of soup, I use
leftover light margaine tubs. If It is chips, I use rubber bands, fold over the package and refrigerate-
they stay fresh for up to a month. I freeze bread. I store other dry goods in plastic containers.

That would depend upon the type of possible stone? A good healthy diet with lots of fruits,
vegetables, limited amounts of healthy fats and lean protein should be safe for all of that. The ADA
pretty much is saying now that carbohydrates, or the glycemic load is the problem, but you can not
go wrong limiting (even doing without) simple sugars and "white" products, such as white bread,
baked junk like twinkies, that sort of thing.

A possible stone or stones have not passed yet. It is not completely clear what kind of
possible stones.

Where might this stone be located and how do you know it is there? If it is in the urinary tract it
is most likely "calcium" or "uric acid". They would be treated differently, as regards dietary
recommendations, only in that if one is taking in too much calcium you would quit (usually this
happens when men take calcium supplements, it is kind of rare)

stones?...

Here in the UK usually for Type 2 diabetes, cut back on carbs, cut out as much refined sugar as
possible, cut back on fats... Make sure you eat 5 or more portions of fruit and/or veg per day. If
you are a Type 1 (on insulin), there are no ridgid rules, they just recommend that you eat a healthy
mixed diet, avoid refined sugars, and eat the fruit/veg...

Stop smoking, get your eyes checked every year, all the other good stuff. DH is a type one - MUCH
easier to cope with than a friend finds his type 2!

Work on through it! I've been on a plateau for a month, teetering on the edge... 😉

Quoted message said:

Weigh! The WW books give you the sizes they regard as small, medium, and large.

Quoted message said:

d. What are the logistics of reserving, storing partial packages and canned eats?...

Freeze it!

Depends on the type of stones. For gall stones I find I need to avoid trigger foods. For me these
are coffee, sweet stuff, fats, red wine, red meat, cheese, spirits, and, alas, chocolate, and just
eating too much at once! Works in great with WW... However, your trigger foods may be different
from mine.

I'm a non-meds Type 2 diabetic, living in Ontario, Canada. Both my doctor and the nutritionist
recommend no more than one small fruit daily, no starchy veggies, i.e., corn, peas, or carrots, I've
learned to eat mostly green ones. Wine is a treat I save for dinner parties.

My meds were reduced after five months on WW, and stopped completely after nine months.
