  1. I visited my aunt today for lunch. She served me a sandwich. Instead of two slices of bread, the
    upper slice was replaced with a large leaf of lettuce.

    It tasted pretty good and I reduced my carb intake by 15 grams.

  2. It's the little changed that can make a difference.

  5. Better yet, if you buy the light bread.... (Pepperidge farm makes a lite multi grain that is just
    delicious) you can have your whole sandwich using two slices for the same carbs and calories of one
    slice of regular bread.

  6. I'm now eating whole wheat bread. I like white bread better, but this stuff isn't TOO bad. I tried
    3 brands before I found one that I like. the worst one was Sara Lee, IIRC. The one in the fridge
    now is Country Farms. It has a more balanced flavor and it's softer and fresher than the other 2
    brands I tried.

    I find lot of whole wheat bread is not much better that white bread. It has just enough whole
    wheat flour to call it whole wheat, sometimes along with sugar. I once got some by mistake which
    had molasses in it.

    I read the label carefully and look for 100% stone ground whole wheat flour.

    I did a little research and found a lot of the "lite" breads can and do have more carbs and calories
    then regular breads. With the advent of "lo carb" diets and people jumping on the band wagon to try
    them, I worked with a nutitionist and came up with some great recipes to make in a breadmaker and
    they are light and yummy. Each slice of bread I make is only 6 carbs and not paper thin. I loved
    them so much I started selling them to folks on Lo-Carb and diabetic diets and they are doing very
    well 🙂 I can send recipes to those who might wanna try them, I also have a killer recipe for peanut
    butter cookies and cheesecake squares with about 3 carbs per cookie. I don't mean to sound like I am
    advertising here, these recipes are freebies to anyone who wants them. Drop me an email

  8. HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) is now considered to be a threat to most comsumers and especially
    diabetics.

    calories per slice - 110 calories from fat - 10 total fat - 1.5g total carb - 20g dietary fiber -

  11. It must be terrible to live such a paranoid life Ted. Why is is that almost the entire medical
    community is talking about HFCS? Are you afraid that maybe all those twinkies and soda you eat and
    drink that got your fat ass Type 2 diabetes will disappear? I can't even recommend you get a life

    Ted

    I had a look at both those sites and I must be missing something. They sounded like reasonable
    articles discussing HFCS. Not a hint of a mention of the A* word. What's the problem? I know the
    poster googles up as "Just Me", a swimming pool builder from Canada, but surely that's not a
    problem here (although, to an Aussie, outdoor swimming pools in Canada sound as useful as a
    snowplough in Cairns)?

  15. Correct me if i'm wrong, but there is as yet NO evidence that ones diet can lead to being diabetic.
    True it may be a contributing factor but it is not the sole cause. Soda and twinkies( whatever they
    are) will be around for a long time yet i'm sure. As for your references, they're from articles
    published over 7 years ago, hardly breaking news is it? Most of us w ould have the common sense to
    avoid the following; sucrose, fructose, lactose and glucose ..since most of them seem to be sugar
    based or related in some way. That's just common sense, Fructose and high-fructose corn syrup foods
    or HFCS ( but you already knew that) be they natural sugar or otherwise will never be on my diet in
    any large quantity as i have now withdrawn my death wish and packed in all the junk i used to eat.

    If you honestly believe that the medical community is still discussing the same things in 2003 that
    it was in 1996 then you're as mad as a box of frogs and no more use 🙂

  20. I'm sorry but where are you getting your information? The discussions on
    HFCS are current, Google can provide you with links to substantiate that
    fact. And yes, your diet is responsible for your Type 2 diabetes. You have
    pushed your bodies ability to adjust its insulin to the amount [censored] you put
    in it that it simply gives up and a resistance is developed. Type 2 diabetes
    is preventable and unnecessary. I have to say this group is quite full of
    the most narrow-minded people I have ever had the dis-pleasure of
    associating with. I susbscribed to the group because I thought I would find
    intelligent conversations regarding diabetes, I am not a diabetic but my son
    is (Type 1). I enjoy seeking information and discussing nutrition and diet
    related topics but I can see that doesn't happen here. Perhaps there are
    others lurking that feel the same way, if so, please feel free to make
    contact and a private mailing list could setup so we don't have listen to
    the nonsense of the Ted Rosenwhatzits and the Julie Bovines (yes Julie I
    have seen your photo - funny how you dispell medical professional opinions
    about chemicals you are eating but promote Tarot and dream analysis. LOL).
