I made a banana bread with just quinoa flour for the first time this past weekend, it was pretty tasty! But I didn't realize I had to portion it with whole wheat flour in order for the bread to hold up..... It still turned out!

Personally for me it all depends on the meal and time of day (I'm also not on the pump).. For breakfast I'll give insulin even with no food because of the dawn phenomenon or Somogyi effect, I need at least 2 units of fast acting just to correct my blood sugars (when at normal levels) and prevent it from creeping higher…

Feel free to add me as well :happy:

I'm really not saying anymore about this topic..... I've been well educated about food seeing I've been a diabetic for 30 years. I know what works best for myself and CARBS work for me :happy:

Give it time..... Ketosis is a back up system, it's not a primary system.... go do your research. Like I've told you before... We NEED carbs. People seem to think we need more than what is actually needed to provide our bodies with energy.

How can you say that Ketosis is not important??? Ketosis can very well cause death!!

It appears that the carb question is like walking on a mine field on MFP.... be very careful because this topic is almost like discussing politics or religion, it can start a war.... You have to find what works best for yourself.... and what your body responds the best to. I find for myself as a diabetic the more I am…

From my personal experience I find that if I don't go to the gym I won't workout. I tried to incorporate workouts at home, but found as soon as I got home after work all I wanted to do was relax and wind down. I find the gym has more of a selection for equipment to use for various workouts, and I personally like the…

Is there a chance of feeling ill if you consume too much protein? One evening after a vigorous workout, I think I consumed about 75g of protein. I felt a little nauseous and blah, I was relating it to my workout but who knows. But one thing I do know is that I was severely craving protein, so I ate it hahaha..

My pet peeve is how my metabolism is a lazy bum... lol. Another is how people aim to lose weight in such a short amount of time with supplements, starving themselves and no exercise.

I'm 5'2 and every pound shows up on me.... if I gain 5 pounds it looks like 15. The weight just loves my mid-section. lol

Hahaha... sweeeeet!

I have the BlackBerry Bold 9900 :happy:

The fat from meat is not healthy for you, it raises your cholesterol .Meats contain high levels of the amino acid L-lysine, which increases insulin production, prompting the liver to release fat and cholesterol into the bloodstream. its best to eat lean meats and preferably soy protein. I don't wish to lecture because I'm…

A huge problem is people mistaken how much carb our bodies need...

We really do need carbs.... ketones and fatty acids can not feed every cell or organ in our bodies... fatty acids cannot be used as a source of fuel for brain function, our brain function depends on glucose or ketones... However ketones are only produced by broken down fatty acids and when the body cannot obtain enough…

Well.... like everything in life moderation is the key. Without carbs your brain function would diminish because it doesn't have the essential energy and nutrients to function normally (which causes early onset of dementia) ... and that isn't even covering what your body needs to use for energy. We all need carbs it's what…
