Carbohydrates/sugar
Due to pred-diabetes I limit carbohydrates. I adjusted the ratio under goals - no problem. When I look at daily totals for nutrients, there is a line for carbohydrates and a line for “sugar.” Since all sugars are carbohydrates, what does the suars line mean?

Keto andCICO
I use a low carbo diet as many diabetics and prediabetics due. There is a growing body of scientific research to support lower carbo diets due to increased insulin resistance found with aging. Each person needs to decide on the level of carbs that support their needs. I am on a low-moderate carb diet. I also watch CICO but…

Hormone swings and hot flashes
So, I've been in perimenopause for 4-5 years and FINALLY the doc says I am truly menopausal.

GOOD tasting protein/shake mixes.
I don't use a shake meal replacement at every meal, but I like to use one for breakfast or sometimes as an afternoon snack. I just hate how most taste. The best I've found is the Medifast products.
