Rice and noodles??? can u eat them??
I'm not obsessing about it and I don't mind subbing for the most part. I just wondered if it will even be a possibility. We also love Italian food. I guess I'm just wondering if I'll ever enjoy food again. Not over eat but enjoy .Right now I don't care that much about food just get sick to easy. I'm two-weeks out will be three weeks out next Tuesday.
Any responses will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
P.S. Ohhh I know I sound all kinds of scatterbrainedlol but on a good note I have lost 41lbs so far. Yea!!
Yes, I am easily able to eat either- but choose to rarely eat those items. A few noodles in a cup of chicken noodle soup perhaps, or like tonight I had maybe a tablespoon of rice with the szechuan shrimp. Pasta and rice is not so great on the glycemic index and I try to avoid food that trigger a lot of insulin production. Not that I am perfect about that, but I do try.

Every once in a while..... someone shows up here or at my support group and says.....
"Ya know.... I'm Italian.... and we eat Pasta.... It's part of our culture"..... "We eat..... It's a family thing"
This really strikes a nerve with me........
News Flash !!!!
Most every culture has some sort of Carby Staple !!!!!
And as Americans we are exposed/cultured to EAT EVERYTHING from EVERY CULTURE......
I'm picking on Italians cause it seems to be the most common....... But.......
I always have to chime in and call them out......
My line is (I'm Asian):
"Do you think Pasta and Bread is more important to you and your culture than Rice and Noodles is to mine?"
I always get the "Oh..... You got a point"
That said, I eat some carbs in Maintenance...... I use a ratio of 3-2-1 when I eat carbs......less than 80grams per day.
- 3 parts protein
- 2 parts veg
- 1 part carb

Do I - Yes, now that I am in maintenance (I have had some rice and bread - no noodles yet).
Would I have had them during weight loss - NO.

High protein foods also prompt your body to release glucagon. Glucagon is a hormone that encourages your body to release fat into the blood stream. This is goodness - especially during weight loss.

You survived what you thought would kill you. Now straighten your crown and go forward like the Queen you are!
My issue with weight gain is portion size. If I have issues I can revisit but this works for me.
