Answer 4

Foods that are high in sugar are all fruits, some vegetables and tons of other things. Basically your best bet would be to pretend you are on Atkins diet so that you could stay away from all forms of sugar and carbs. Remember sugar hides all over just when you think things are safe they might have natural sugar. Check the label before consuming.

Answer 5

What you need is to somehow get to the bottom of why she's eating like this. The psychological factor involved is security, feeling safe. When a woman eats and surounds herself with that fat, it makes her feel safe. Strange as that sounds. What is she trying to keep herself safe from? It could be horrible self esteem or it could be something in her past. Whatever it is, you probably already know about it. Since you have tried talking to her, to no avail, that leaves you here- let her know that you are finished with the relationship unless she starts eating healthy and removes all junk food from the house. Put this in writing and have her sign it. Let her know that you are going to help her with whatever she needs. At first you should not mind the portions, just make sure everything is healthy. No soda, no junk food. Do not allow any of this in her house as a part of the bargain. If it's not in there she ain't eatin it! As time goes by then she will start decreasing the portions herself. Healthy food is hard to binge on. She is nitpicking and controlling because she hates herself, but these are some very hard habits to break, and you'll have to help here too. Instead of getting angry (which is very hard I know) when she says something controlling call her on it, say "what's making you treat me this way?" and see what she says. She most likely does not realize the error of her ways I'm sorry to say. In this world it is strange because people criticise skinny girls (she's too thin she must be anorexic) but there is a lot of support for fat people. A lot of support, it's pretty screwed up. Happy Holidays dear one! Remember who's #1 always.

Answer 6

It's just not plain sugar - it's starches that can turn into sugar when digested. Stay away from breads (especially white breads - they are horrible for you!), pastas, and potatoes. Eat whole grains and lean meats, and veggies. No fruit juices, except maybe V8. That should help. But also ask your OB/GYN to get you in touch with a nutritionist for more information. You don't want to jeopardize your baby's health! Nothing, not your cravings or your sweet tooth, is worth risking your baby's life! Your life could be in danger, too! Take it seriously.

Answer 7

Refined sugar found in cakes, sweets, and fizzy drinks, as well as potatoes, white flour and pasta, is toxic according to Sugar Busters. Their theory is that eating these types of foods causes the body to produce increased amounts of the hormone insulin, which in turn encourages weight to be stored as fat.
upside
Most people consume too much sugar (approximately one pound per person per week) and as a result, many health organisations are trying to encourage less of a reliance on refined foods. This diet gives clear guidelines on which foods to avoid.

downside
There is no scientific justification for the premise that healthy people who eat foods high in sugar will automatically gain weight. Lumping whole foods such as potatoes, corn, and carrots with the 'forbidden' sugars makes no nutritional sense.

Answer 8

you can look for a list that gives you the number of carbonyte for anything you eat
I have a list but it is in Dutch
Of course chocolate and sweets have a high sugar
fruit like raisins, banana are very high in sugar
don't put sugar in your coffee or tea but use a product that adds a sweet taste to it

I hope you can use this info

SWEET THINGS CANDY, PIE, CAKES, JUICE I have taken this test repetedly the dr thinks all fat people develope diabetes... AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN TOLD TO AVOID THESE THEy want a true reading... you dont want the test results to come out negetive it you really have this you would want to know so you can adjust your diet and not cause your body harm.. people with Diabeties can become blind, loose toes, feet and legs from not taking care of themselves properly.. so dont alter your diet. I was always told by physican to not eat anything after midnight ie a fasting glucose test... call the lab and ask them is my true advice if not open call the drs office and ask the on call physican.. my dad would do this sort of thing not eat like he normally does a few days before a cholesterol test well what good did it do him not knowing he was a ticking time bomb we got lucky he only had two or three mini strokesTIA's but he was headed for a hudge one that could have left me with out my father to walk me down the isle last spring ok I am in my 40s but I was lucky that my dad recovered and could 7 weeks later walk me down the isle with my son to give me away.. ANY WAY WHY TAKE THE TEST IF YOUR NOT GOing TO GET THE TRUE RESULTS????
good luck with pregnancy..
A good book to read during the pregnancy is what to expect when your expecting.... and get a copy of what to expect the first year...

Answer 10

look at the labels of what you want to eat. Eat things that are very low in carbahydrates. Less than 45 a meal or 25 as in between snack. Eat fruit and vegetables. An apple is 15 carbs. Stay away from anything you know is a lot of suger like soda and kool-aid and snacks.

Answer 11

Anything sweet and foods that are starches. Regular coke or Pepsi are high in sugar too.
