martha -
to you! i am sorry you have gd..but at least you don't have to do the insulin, and if you did, it's no big deal. the diet is actually going well. it took me a week or so to get the hang of things, now it is easy. there is a lot more planning involved, but you can do it..plus you are already so far along..so it's just for a little while. you eat a balanced diet, and eat every 2-3 hours. and have to eat certain foods at each meal or snack. after the first couple of weeks, the dietician gave me an eating out guide and i wanted to hug her. i can eat a cheeseburger, but half the bun and veggies or salad instead of fries. it's weird because you eat more protein and fats, like real butter, and you have to eat the fats, because it absorbs the carbs. it's alot of food, just spread out throughout the day, and i've lost weight..even weirder. sometimes it is hard because i want a cupcake or some cookies, but i think, what is most important some sweets or a healthy baby. i am now craving pancakes, so i went online and they have recipes for low carb pancakes so i will try them this weekend. please, if you have any other questions, let me know!!!
oh...i also go to this website..it's
