Yeah, those bread carbs are the downside of keeping it made in the cold of the year. Fortunately the Mister and I are healthy on our blood sugar levels and NOT diabetic but it’s common in both our families so we watch the diet. Everytime my mom visits she actually checks our blood sugar. Mom never in her life gained an extra 2 pounds and prides herself on still wearing the size 8 she wore in high school. I got the weight gain gene from mom’s mom and mama has worried over me being too fat since I was 8. (I wear size 14 and don’t consider myself fat but that’s beside the point) Three years ago mama was diagnosed as diabetic and now stresses that since she’s got it my brothers and I are bound to have it now too.
Well, I wish I wore clothes as small a size as you do. I need to loose weight. If I eat more than 60g of carbs, I gain weight. If I eat between 50 or 60g I stay the same. I don’t loose unless I eat less carbs than that.
If I eat more than 60g carbs, my ankles swell, even though I take HCTZ. The endocrinologist advised me to stick to the diabetic diet of 60g or less. I self diagnosed that I was developing insulin resistance, and she confirmed it.
Not enough to be prediabetic, and not diabetic, but still on the way. In addition if I eat stuff like bread, then I crave it all day long and for several days after. So I’m better off just avoiding it.
That’s another reason that I have gone to raising my own stuff and canning. So many foods these days have HFC which is just a bit worse than sugar for the insulin reaction.
