rick Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 quit-once- I'm not sure whether you have tried it or whether you are even interested but have you tried using wheat flour, wheat crackers, brown rice? Generally I find these to be full of energy and generally wholesome and filling. Also if you ever find yourself craving sugars I would recommend honey! Honey is a beautiful thing. Oh and sweet potato chips done in peanut oil (doesn't taste like peanuts) is also one of my favorites... Sounds like you're already choosing a very healthy diet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit-once Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 The thing about whole wheat products is they still contain the same amount of instant carbs that bleached flour does. By instant carbs, I mean carbs that are readily converted to glucose then spike your blood sugar and cause an insulin spike. That's what I try to avoid is the high glycemic foods. I get so tired when I eat too much sugar or carbs in general. I haven't looked into honey but it is all natural so it can't be that bad for you. Rick, where do you get those sweet potato chips? - they sound like a good healthy snack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Sorry I hadn't seen you respond. Sweet potato chips are just from my local grocer (ShopRite). They're tasty! They are probably fairly new because I only know of one brand that makes them. And I can't name it off of the top of my head... And that is interesting, I always thought that the whole point of whole wheat was that it didn't cause the same blood sugar spike. But I do see now that that is not the case..
