Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / April 2008Defining A Low Carbohydrate Diet
In the U.S. dieticians and diabetes educators typically distribute dietary recommendations for daily macro nutrients. My meal plan of 3-20/01 was for 2200 calories and the carb content was breakfast 60g, lunch 60g, dinner 60-75g, and snack 30g. My way of eating since then is much lower in calories and carbohydrates: B 10-12 net, L 24 net, D varies, and snack varies. No real precision, but calories are less than 2000 and carbs are ~100-150 grams/day which maintain my weight at 154-160 pounds and body fat percentage near 17.5. Based on the commonly seen nutrition facts labels, the initial meal plan recommendation of 210-225 grams would be less than the standard carb level seeen below. The dieticians and diabetes educators more than likely consider their recommendations to diabetics as low carbohydrate diets. Some of the experts in the field consider 50 grams or less a "very low carbohydrate diet." "Two federal nutrition education tools use standard serving sizes: the Food Guide Pyramid and the Nutrition Facts label. The Pyramid was released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 1992. The Nutrition Facts label, which is under the regulation of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has been required on virtually all food labels since August 1994. While both tools contain serving sizes that are standard–thus enabling nutritional and caloric comparisons of similar foods–serving sizes for a particular food are not necessarily the same between the Pyramid and the Nutrition Facts label." Source: Serving Sizes in the Food Guide Pyramid and on the Nutrition Facts Label: What’s Different and Why? - http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/Publications/NutritionInsights/Insight22.pdf "The Nutrition Facts label lists the serving size of the food and the number of servings per container. It also identifies and quantifies key nutrients in a serving as a percentage of Daily Values (%DV) for a 2,000-calorie diet." The common shown nutrition facts label for 2000 and 2500 calorie diets have 300 and 375 mg of carbohydrate per day.

Since there is a good amount of turn over in ASD participants (and likely in lurkers), this may be a good topic to review.

Messed up on units again. ;) Got me! Yet maybe the 300 and 375 grams recommendations are part of the obesity problems in the U.S. since this is the suggested means of obtaining most of the calories.

It is the size of the "food pyramid" (ie the overeating) and not the shape of the "food pyramid" that is causing the obesity problems in the U.S. Thus, it remains smarter to downsize the "food pyramid" down to the right size: http://HeartMDPhD.com/BeSmart Here is a simple parable given in hopes of promoting greater understanding: http://HeartMDPhD.com/Parable Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be euglycemic: http://TheWellnessFoundation.com/BeHealthier Prayerfully in the infinite power and might of the Holy Spirit, Andrew <>< -- Andrew B.

Heartdoc1 to Heartdoc 24 @emorycardiology.com. Today for the first time in ages, I logged on and my front page on google wasn't filled with his spam. Does that mean that with the help of you guys, we compiled enough evidence that google took action this morning? Or did chung just take a day off? I'm not sure but anyway it goes, I could almost here crickets chirping in the silence of his absence and it was a beautiful thing. If in fact he is gone, I certainly won't miss him and wish him well but also, will continue to be watching for a new incarnation of his spamming tactics. I thought it best to say thanks for the support of all those people that helped out in putting down the nuisance... I hope I'm not speaking to soon... http://groups.google.com/group/i-hate-andrew-b-chung-mdphds-spam Ultimately, I wanted to apoligize because I too became guilty of spamming in my efforts to shut down chung. Again, thanks and let's hope that the last of it... Good luck to all of you... I'll be leaving the site up because to be honest.. I don't think we've heard the last of him... I'm hopeful... I do think it's cool that believers and non believers, Doctors and others all worked together to put an end to it. If in fact google has shut him down........ GREAT JOB GOOGLE! THANK YOU! Take care, Snow One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular. Remember, a real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided. Tony Robbins http://HeartMDPhD.com/OAF <>< http://HeartMDPhD.com/HolySpirit/Counsels On Apr 30, 7:09 pm, "Andrew B.

Yes, that is what successful trolls like Chung do. Sorry, monkfish you are no where near Chung as a troll - it is obvious as to what you are trying to do, but compared to Chung, you are a mere child.

The only reason I even saw your post is I'm playing with several newsreaders. The best way to handle spammers is to ignore them. But if you must reply to them, you should at least set the followup-to header to something other than your own newsgroup. It's almost mandatory in the KDE newsreader knode.
