Low-carb on a tight budget
Looks just like the stupid advice from the ADA:
". At each meal include starchy carbohydrate foods such as bread, pasta,
chapattis, potatoes, yam, noodles, rice and cereals. The amount of
carbohydrate you eat is important to control your blood glucose levels. All
varieties are fine but try to include those that are more slowly absorbed
(have a lower glycaemic index) as these wont affect your blood glucose
levels as much. Better choices include:
Pasta
Basmati or easy cook rice
Grainy breads such as granary, pumpernickel and rye
New potatoes, sweet potato and yam
Porridge oats, All Bran and natural muesli."
All things a diabetic should avoid.
And:
" Reduce salt in your diet to 6g or less a day more than this can raise
your blood pressure, which can lead to stroke and heart disease. Limit the
amount of processed foods you eat and try flavouring foods with herbs and
spices instead of salt.
A very few people with high blood pressure are sensitive to salt. It's
never good to overdo anything, but a normal amount of salt is fine and even
necessary. There is no proof that it "causes" high blood pressure. Of
course, many prepared foods, like canned soups, contain far more salt than
is necessary to make them taste good. If you eat fresh natural foods, and
make your own soups, etc., salt will never be a problem.
Their BG goals appear a bit high as well.
