We as dietitians would never tell our patients to stop eating carbs. What is important to pay attention to is the type and amount of carbohydrates. The carbohydrates that should be chosen most often are ones that we refer to as LOW GLYCEMIC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Low glycemic carbohydrates are less processed and high in fibre. Looking at the difference between a slice of white bread and a slice of multigrain bread is a good way to demonstrate the difference between high and low glycemic index foods. White bread has zero fibre in it and has been very heavily processed. Multigrain bread is higher in fibre and not as processed. Because fibre does not break down into sugar, yet the body tries to break it down, the rise in blood sugar is a lot less than if there was no fibre in the food. Therefore, one\u2019s blood sugar would rise faster and higher after eating white bread than after eating multigrain bread. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Some low glycemic index foods are surprising. Sweet potatoes, rye, sour dough and pumpernickel breads are all low glycemic index. One food group that most people are surprised to learn about is breakfast cereals. Most breakfast cereals are high glycemic index because they have been so heavily processed, even if they have fibre in them like Cheerios and Bran Flakes. Breakfast cereal in general is not a great choice for breakfast as they will most likely cause someone\u2019s blood sugars to rise high and quickly. But, if you love breakfast cereal we recommend adding All Bran buds to at least increase the fibre and therefore help slow down the rise of blood sugar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Adding lower carb and\/or higher fibre foods to main dishes can help with one\u2019s post meal blood sugars. Adding extra vegetables to pasta and rice dishes means you still feel and taste like you are eating pasta and rice, but in fact eating more vegetables. See 2 recipes below that are lower carb but high in taste!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion admin_label=&#8221;Accordion&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;] [et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Cauliflower Rice&#8221;]<br \/>\n<span class=\"s2\"><b>Ingredients:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">1 large head cauliflower<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">3 tablespoons olive or coconut oil<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">1 teaspoon kosher salt (or half as much table salt)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Instructions:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">1. Use a large knife to cut the cauliflower into quarters, then cut the hard core out of each quarter (the leaves will come off with it) and discard it. Use your hands to break the quarters up into florets that are around an inch or two across. (If this is your first time prepping cauliflower, see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seriouseats.com\/2017\/03\/how-to-buy-store-cut-cauliflower-into-florets.html\">this article<\/a> for an easy-to-follow video.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">2. In three batches, put the florets in a food processor or blender fitted with a steel blade, and pulse until the pieces are around the size of a grain of rice. Some will be more like couscous, and some will be slightly larger, and all of it is fine! Dump the riced cauliflower into a large bowl as you finish each batch. If you notice some stray large pieces, you can leave them, eat them, or pop them back in the food processor\u2014your call!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">3. Heat the oil in a wide pan over high heat. When it is hot, add all the cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally at first, until it is just turning golden on the edges, and as tender as you like it. This will take 5 to 10 minutes. At first it will get very steamy and damp, and then it will start to dry out and you will need to stir it more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">4. Season the cauliflower with the salt. Taste it and add more if it needs it, then serve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">From DiaTribe<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Veggie Filled Meat Sauce on Zucchini Noodles&#8221;]<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong><span class=\"s2\">Ingredients:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">8 ounces 90% lean ground beef<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">1\/2 cup chopped onion<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">1\/2 cup chopped carrot<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">1\/2 cup chopped celery<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">2 cloves garlic, minced<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">2 8 &#8211; ounce cans no-salt-added tomato sauce<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">1 14 1\/2 &#8211; ounce can no salt added diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano, drained<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">1\/4 cup water<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">1\/2 teaspoon salt<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">1\/4 teaspoon ground black pepper<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">1\/8-1\/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">2 medium zucchini (about 10 ounces each) \u2013 you can buy zucchini noodles at Metro or other grocery stores<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">Nonstick cooking spray<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">1 8 &#8211; ounce package fresh mushrooms, sliced<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li5\"><span class=\"s2\">3 tablespoons finely shredded Parmesan cheese<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Directions:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li7\"><span class=\"s2\">For meat sauce, in a large nonstick skillet cook the first 5 ingredients (through garlic) over medium heat until meat is browned and vegetables are tender, breaking up meat as it cooks.
