", blood glucose levels stay in the healthy range.

Once the pancreas produces enough insulin to overcome the resistance what happens to the glucose in your blood stream? Where and how does it get stored?

It gets taken into cells and is used for energy. It does not get STORED (other than the small amount stored as glycogen) unless you are eating calories in excess of what is needed for metabolism/exercise/TEF, etc.

Your muscles can only store roughly 300 grams of carbs at a time. If you are already at that limit, then the rest would get stored as fat, no?

No. It would be used for energy unless you were eating more calories from any source (carbs, protein, fat) than you needed.

Your body can not store more than 300 grams of carbs (energy) at a given time. Once your muscle cells have reached this limit, any excess energy is going to be stored as fat.

300g of carbs over and above what is needed for energy is a pretty big pig out, no? We're talking over half a kilo of dairy milk surplus!

Thanks everyone. I may be more confused than before... carbs... diabetes... ahh.


Yes, she did react to the bread from my sandwich. I think she'd have me drinking protein shakes with almond milk and eating plain, skinless, chicken breast each day.

I do like my protein shakes, and don't want to stop those. But I feel I'm on a diet for a TV show weight loss drama and not am overweight mom.

Sorry your thread got derailed, but no, you don't have to worry about carbs unless you have trouble controlling your blood sugar or pcos or something, and you NEVER have to worry about carbs from carrot sticks. That's ridiculous.

Does that sound like a healthy plan to you or a way you want to eat? Seriously, fire her.

Protein shakes are fine. I used to make one (with berries and spinach! your nutritionist would hate it) every day until I discovered Quest bars/got tired of cleaning my blender. If you enjoy them, you don't have to give them up. But you don't have to give up veggies, fruit, or bread* either. Especially not veggies.

*Unless there's a medical condition you haven't mentioned where giving up bread would be a good idea.

Carbs per 100g:

• celery - 3g
• cucumbers - unpeeled, 4g; peeled, 2g
• zucchini - 3g
• carrots - 10g
• apples - 14g

Yup. Crawlin' with carbs. They'll kill ya, fer shure.

I've been eating up to 20 servings (you read that right) of vegetables and fruit a day (sometimes; but usually at least 8-10) and did so while losing weight like a house afire, as long as I stayed within my calorie goal.

Fire the "nutritionist".

Honestly, the #1 key to a successful diet is following something you enjoy. Nothing beats dietary adherence and improving body composition and increasing activity alone will help combat most diseases. Carbs do not cause health issues. Obesity does. So keep it simple. I eat sandwiches every day, and tons of fruit and have lost 50 lbs throughout my weight loss time. I would highly recommend you getting another opinion because your nutritious is a bit much IMO.

Well maybe you if you ate food that didn't come from companies, you could be sub-sub 10% body fat. Like 2% or less. You'd be better than skim milk then.

Lol - Nice try, but last dexa was in March and I was 6.4%... I'm probably under 6 right now.

How are your goals going?

I had two dexa in February and I was 6.3%.

Relax. This guy is a 1st class troll. I was getting my panties in a bunch trying to figure out if he was psycho or a troll. Definitely a troll. He/She/It posted a comic strip about what happens when you play D&D too much that almost made me have an accident. Just enjoy it.

OP. All those people who said your nutritionist is wacky are right. Maybe @breezedoveal is your nutritionist. lol.

I've only read the first 5-6 posts.

Your nutritionist is a *kitten* moron.

Now, off to read the rest of the thread.
