Hi Patricia,

Most likely the doctor explained the diet to your boyfriend. Double check with him. Plus, you'll find quite a bit of information to help you change your cooking to meet his needs, and actually it will be healthy for you too.

Here's a list of related articles that cover everything from basic information to recipes. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi,new here. My boyfriend was just told by his doctor that he has diabetes. His test came back at 0.7 and his doctor has put him on metformin 500 mg twice a day medication, and he was told to go on a diet. He needs to lose about 25 to 30 pounds. Problem is I don,t know what I should cook or what kind of diet to put him on. Can someone please give me some information? tyvm

Hi Shay,

The definition of good and bad carbs will depend on what diet you follow. Many low carb diets are considered unhealthy by doctors because of their high fat content. When your body burns large amounts of fats without sufficient dietary carbs, the body produces ketones. Ketones produce side effects like:

Headaches
Dehydration
Bad breath
Nausea

If you follow this type of diet for any length of time, health care professionals have voiced concerns about bone loss, muscle breakdown and kidney disease.

The information contained in this article lays the foundation for choosing good carbs. Stay away from foods containing:

Sugar
White flour
White rice

Making this change will alter your diet considerably.

Hi Lisa Marie,

Motivation is a key factor in successfully losing weight. It drives us stick with the plan we've decided to follow and eventually reach our goal. Motivation levels can vary based on how we feel. Choosing a diet with foods you enjoy will help keep that motivation high. As we see results, motivation is further strengthened to stick with it.

I think that I could actually consume only these foods and be satified...can't wait to try on my healthier foods for size

Grapes and carrots are high in sugar and are therefore discouraged, or at least very limited, in most low carb diets.
