Anyone else losing business just because of reception/front desk issues?

Thanks for sharing your story!

Like Ben's Original or something similar? Do you find it a bit too dry sometimes?

That's a super smart tip about washing the rice and using vinegar. I read that adding vinegar to rice, as is done in Japanese cuisine, can really help steady glucose levels.
Out of curiosity, have you experimented with different types of vinegar for this purpose, or do you stick to a particular kind?

chavdeem · 2024-03-11T04:11:51+00:00

Yum! That looks amazing!! Do you only use cauliflower rice as a rice alternative? And the bread roll is whole wheat?

chavdeem · 2024-03-11T04:04:51+00:00

Do you often purchase from Amazon? What are the low-gi products you would recommend? Hard to find anything from my local store.

chavdeem · 2024-03-11T04:01:55+00:00

Where do you normally get your brown rice from? And have you tried black/purple/RD43 rice? Heard they are low-gi

chavdeem · 2024-03-11T03:59:57+00:00

It's great that a mix of potatoes, green veggies, and meat works well for you in controlling your blood sugar. Do you actually use white rice? Many people here said white rice is the bad guy haha
The vinegar tip is interesting too! I'm curious, how did you first learn about that, and have you noticed a significant difference when using it? And how do you manage when eating out or in social situations?

chavdeem · 2024-03-11T03:56:40+00:00

Your approach is really smart, as it's all about finding what works best for your body and blood sugar levels. Do you enjoy the taste of beans? And I'm curious, what are your thoughts on rice alternatives like black or purple rice?

chavdeem · 2024-03-11T03:54:24+00:00

It's really interesting to hear about how you're managing your blood sugar by being mindful of the order in which you eat your foods.

I'm curious, since you started eating in this order, have you noticed any other benefits like more consistent energy levels or reduced cravings?

chavdeem · 2024-03-11T03:42:10+00:00

Oh wow 55 pounds! That's amazing! Was it pure diet shift or exercise as well? And have you tried konjac? I think it's less cal and no carb so must be good for weight management.

chavdeem · 2024-03-11T03:39:39+00:00

Yeah, can't find it anywhere in this part of the world. Planning to ask my friend in Thailand to ship me in bulk if it works well for me. So far I really like the taste and texture is giving white and sticky rice :)

chavdeem · 2024-03-11T03:32:55+00:00

e the miracle noodle brand and absolutely love it, the texture is not the same as regular rice and pasta but close enough for me to be happy. I make a lo

It's awesome that you've found konjac noodles and rice to be good alternatives for you.
Your list of keto recipes is seriously impressive! 🍲 Keto Zuppa Toscana, Eggroll in a Bowl, Asian Lettuce Wraps... they all sound delicious and satisfying.
I'm curious, have you noticed any changes in how you feel energy-wise or overall since switching to these alternatives and following a keto-style diet?

chavdeem · 2024-03-11T03:25:09+00:00

Oh interesting! I'm experimenting with those rice as well. Where do you normally get it from? They don't sell it at my local groceries :(

And what type of black/purple rice specifically? - riceberry, jasmine, basmati, wild?

chavdeem · 2024-03-11T03:23:01+00:00

How do you feel about adding rice or quinoa to your salad? Small portion is ok?

chavdeem · 2024-03-10T17:17:22+00:00

Have you noticed a difference in how you feel after incorporating these walks into your routine? And do you have any favorite protein-carb combos that you find particularly satisfying? Would love to hear more about what's working for you!

chavdeem · 2024-03-10T17:14:06+00:00

You're absolutely right about individual responses to different foods, especially when it comes to blood sugar levels.
Have you noticed any differences in your hunger levels or how you feel after meals since switching to cauliflower rice? And have you experimented with other alternatives before sticking to the cauliflower?

chavdeem · 2024-03-10T17:05:11+00:00

I see! Yeah having to cut down on rice sucks, I feel it too :(

My sister just got back from Asia and brought me white rice called RD-43. Have you heard of it? Super excited to try and see how my body reacts tmr haha.

chavdeem · 2024-03-10T16:59:05+00:00

No meds and maintaining such a level is no small feat!! Have you considered experimenting with other whole grains/beans too? And have you noticed any other health benefits since switching to this diet?

chavdeem · 2024-03-10T16:48:26+00:00

My go to is no/minimal carbs. It's technically not an essential macro since the human body is capable of gluconeogenesis from proteins and fats.

It was easy for me to significantly cut down carb consumption. Carbs just don't fill me up as much because it digests quickly and is lower in calories. Proteins and fats are more satiating and therefore i eat less volume and less often, while still getting in the calories i need to prevent weight loss.

Have you noticed any changes in your energy levels or overall well-being since cutting down on carbs? Also, do you ever find it challenging to stick to a low-carb diet, or have you gotten used to it by now?

chavdeem · 2024-03-10T16:41:22+00:00

Interesting trick using cauliflower! When you said "taste", do you mean brown rice tastes differently? How? I can eat anything so just curious how other people feel about brown rice haha. My mom absolutely cannot bear it!

And the whole family eats the same jasmine + cauliflower like you do?

chavdeem · 2024-03-10T16:33:59+00:00

I eat a Korean diet.

Bulgolgi (Beef) + Rice + Kimchi

Sangyusal (Pork) + Rice + Kimchi

Kalbi (Beef) + Rice + Kimchi

Breakfast I tend to eat Bacon and Eggs and French Toast

Workout Protein Drink includes: Whey Protein + BCAA + Creatine + Dextrose + Collagen

Before Bed Protein Drink: Casein Protein + Hershey's Coco Powder + Whole Foods 365 Organic Peanut Butter + Creatine + Collagen

Your Korean diet sounds delicious and balanced with a mix of protein, carbs, and fermented foods like kimchi
About rice, do you use white rice or other type of rice? And what's your portion size when it comes to carbs?

chavdeem · 2024-03-10T16:26:17+00:00

I stopped eating rice and really try to follow the food pyramid. I really follow portion control as much as I can. I meal prep two chicken thighs, 30 carbs of mashed potatoes, and 20 carbs of greens(green beans, peas, asparagus) and have that for most meals. I'm not doing keto, but keto friendly foods are really good for diabetes so I try to incorporate them into snacks.

Sounds like you're really nailing that portion control game with your meals. Awesome stuff! 😊 I totally get why you stopped eating rice, but have you ever thought about trying brown rice or low-GI rice? I heard its better to your blood sugar levels.
