So how much bread should you eat?

Given my post yesterday, we know that flour, rice, potatoes, sugars, etc. raise your blood sugar and all kinds of bad things happen after that.

So how much to eat? As little as you can stand.

My husband eats virtually no carbs in his diet. Rarely does he eat a potato chip. His lipid profile is excellent and he has virtually no circulating triglycerides. Low normal. And we know that low triglycerides means larger sized lipoprotein particles, and less plaque formation.

Get your carbs from vegetables, beans, whole grain breads ( a few slices a day or equivalent).

So eat a slice of bread plus some protein for breakfast.

Eat a slice of bread and some protein and fruit and salad for lunch.

Eat a potato - small, or a half cup of rice, plus meat and vegetables and salad for supper. If you must have dessert, make it sugar free or berries with some whipped cream on them.

For snacks in the morning and afternoon have some raw almonds, some low sugar yogourt or a piece of fruit for snacks. Low glycemic index only.

Take Omega 3 supplements daily. Take vitamin D3. At least 1000 mg. if you live in Canada. I take 2000 mg. per day, and was told by a lipid specialist that I could take 4000 mg. a day with doctor supervision.

The idea is to reduce the inflammation in your body caused by high insulin levels in your blood.
