Quoting Hoping4Love2000:
TRUE ON FAD “DIETS!” One must implement changes in their diet period and then STICK TO IT!
NO alcohol is best.. period… and ANY wine is high in calories and ANY wine is only considered “beneficial” if a man consumes 8 ounces and woman 4. (AHA Fact)
SEA SALT: Most sea salts have same amount of salt as regular table salt. (40% / AHA) Unless one eats only “fresh” veggies, etc.. NO SALT is recommended for HBP patients. Because most people eat processed foods, (canned, packaged etc…) they are already consuming too much salt in their diet which can lead some to HBP, strokes, heart disease. The AHA advises only 1500 mg per day for salt intake. They also claim 75% of salt intake daily is due to processed foods. If someone already has HBP.. do NOT consume salt and EVERYONE READ LABLES ON YOUR FOOD! (Esp those with heath issues!)
BRAVO on the “Calorie Count”… YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT! However, people should not mislead themselves to thinking this means they can consume MORE calories because they are “eating better.” Consuming more calories than necessary for ones height, weight and activity levels is detrimental to trying to lose weight.
Although “apple cider vinegar” has been studied to help in some ways, one must be very cautious and watch amounts and how they consume it. IE: ACV (or vinegar) “may help” lower glucose levels in diabetics as well as lower high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It also may kill cancer cells. However, this is only in preliminary studies and it is not known if the benefits outweigh the risks. IE: No one should take this to mean “take 2 tea spoons at night” .. as vinegar is extremely acidic and can cause tooth enamel damage as well as can burn the esophagus and stomach. Apple cider vinegar can also lower potassium level and lower bone density. It may also interact with drugs such as INSULIN some diabetics MUST take, so if I have an insulin dependent client, I do NOT recommend it for this very reason. Many people trying to lose weight also take laxatives and diuretics which can also affect body negatively when using ACV. CINNAMON has been shown to possibly help and not hurt. (again a preliminary finding)
TOMATOES: Contain LYCOPENE and are widely known as “good food” in HEART HEALTH. According to the American Heart Association tomatoes LOWER RISK of heart attacks. WHY? Because LYCOPENE is a powerful ANTIOXIDANT and even reduces risk of prostate cancer. They help prevent blood clots and inflammation and studies are finding they are even better for you when COOKED! If one wishes to find tomato recipes they can go to the AHA site or the ADA site. Canned tomatoes contain high amounts of SODIUM, so HBP patients should probably not eat a lot of canned tomatoes, soups or sauces. If the ADA (American Diabetic Association) found them to be too high n bad sugars, I do not think they would have many recipes with them on their site.
ADA (American Diabetes Association) has claimed “Fake sweeteners” do NOT affect blood sugar levels AT ALL. In fact, they advise diabetics to use them when they crave sweets. Problem with them? They are found in many CAFFEINE drinks etc… and caffeine is not an "insulin dependent" diabetics friend.. and most "insulin dependent" diabetics are unaware of this. According to the MAYO CLINIC caffeine impairs “insulin action” so I now have one client using decaf tea since he drinks it ALL DAY LONG, always has and is insulin dependent. (He gets to keep his sweetener, but not the caffeine.) Because decaf tea is so expensive, he went to research how decaf is made and now says he boils his tea for 3 minutes and pours it out and starts boiling the bags again. He said he found online this is how decaf tea is made! (NOTE: I have not looked this up nor consulted the doctor or nurse over viewing my nutritional plans.)
Your thoughts on sodas, diet or not, were excellent! They contain too much sodium in them which can cause bloating and for regular soda drinkers trying to lose weight, far too many calories. Wean yourself with diet sodas and if you must have caffeine, take a caffeine supplement for relieving headaches while getting off the juice! (Yes, caffeine addicted people may get headaches when they try to avoid caffeine!)
And finally.. CALORIC INTAKE… My son who is 6'1" at 192 pounds at 22 who works out minimum of 3 times a week MUST ingest 2649 calories a day to “stabilize” his weight. I am almost 5’3" at 107 pounds and a little older…who didn’t exercise until starting this nutrition career and must intake 1326 calories with no exercise and 1513 calories with exercise to maintain my weight.
EVERYONE SHOULD EXERCISE!! And due to my career choice, I have put my money where my mouth is! I do something daily now!
Obviously I believe people must pay more mind to their bodies and what they eat, so VIVA, please do not take me wrong! I implore individuals to get healthier and am working on it myself! I applaud your coming forward and trying to help others to lose weight. But I do not feel it is socially responsible to throw out information not backed by certain groups such as AHA and ADA. I will not post any information not produced by AHA, ADA etc... as well as I have a Board Certified Cardiologist of 20+ years and a registered Cardiac Nurse overseeing my dietary plans.
** NOTE: If I am wrong on anything I have quoted it will be changed as to not misgive information or mislead individuals after they have reviewed my findings of what I am now studying.
