Hi Everyone.
Last night I was talking to a friend who warned me that my low carb intake will result in low energy. Which is true for me. I eat 50 or less carbs a day. But, I do it because it works. I slowly but consistently lose weight, and it makes my A1C rock!
So here is my question. For lunch I had a sandwich. Low carb bread (total 15 carb), a slice of tomato and 1/3 avocado. My GL before was 101 and after one hour; 137. So, even though it's not good to have such a small amount of carbs raise the GL, isn't that still energy to the body? The problem is that the body is not taking up the blood glucose and utilizing it into energy. So is that why it's important to walk after a meal? Do most of you take a walk after a meal?
Hugs,
Paula
