Simple Summary

    • Eat 6 small meals each day.
    • Limit the amount of carbohydrates you eat to the amount allotted for that meal.  30, 30, 45, 30, 45, 30 (You may eat less but should not eat more)  The purpose behind this is to replenish your body with nutrients and energy you will use before you eat again. 
    • Wait at least 2 hours in between meals.
    • Calculate how many carbs are in a food by reading the nutrition labels or looking for the serving size that will equal 15gms in the choose your foods booklet.
    • Carbohydrates are found in milks, fruits, beans, starches, starchy vegetables, and sweets.
    • The goal is not to eliminate carbohydrates from your diet.  The purpose is to learn how to enrich your diet with the healthiest foods and know when you have consumed enough.
I'd love to hear your comments.  Do you have any questions?
