Blood Sugar Spike

[bokelley]

Dh is on the kick about blood sugar spiking. So after dinner I can not have dessert (cookies, 100 cal bar or anything) for 2 hours until your blood sugar lowers from dinner. He says that when your blood sugar is up after dinner, then eat sugar, it stores it as fat... WTF!!

You don't have a weight problem, and he is not your keeper. No one tells me what I can eat. He's welcome to decide to run his own dit as he sees fit, but thats BS.

I have just never heard of this... I think he is nuts. Sounds like some crazy diet book or something..

Um no - dessert is fine in moderation. TBH - those kinds of statements and controlling behaviors are scary to me.

[bokelley]

I am not sure why he is so concerned about it either. But I will say is his defense, I did ask for help with my diet. He is normally never controlling or demanding at all, for fear I would beat him hahaha just kidding

Agreed!! I hope you're ignoring him and eating whatever you want, whenever you want. Sheesh!

It's safest (in our house, anyway) to not comment on food choices. It ALWAYS makes the commenter look like an asshole. And then the commentee is pissed and won't be putting out.

Funny. It works that way here too! LOL

I would purposefully eat dessert tomorrow night. Seriously, that theory makes no sense at all.

There's helpful, and then there's demeaning. Make sure he knows the difference between the two.
I'm pretty sensitive about men telling women how to be, so maybe I just need to slink away before I get super heated.
Brandi, wanting to live a healthy lifestyle and make healthy choices does not mean that your DH needs to become the food police.
*slinks away*

No one wants to live with a self-appointed Food Nazi.

"No dessert for YOU!"

Brandi - Honestly, you deal with enough of his $%!@#... go eat dessert, that is ridiculous.

I don't understand his logic. Living with a diabetic has taught me that the body metabolizes the sugar (or any carb) better if they are eaten at one time- so 3 meals and 1 snack. It's worse to have a cookie/dessert right before you go to bed I thought. Not only for metabolism but for just quality of sleep- the spike in sugar typically takes your body 2 hours to wear off....

Anyway, just use your app (Lise it or whatever) and add the calories from your dessert. I always give myself at least 100 calories of desserts a day lol. Could bs why my weight is plateaued but dh would not dream to comment. The only thing a dh can say is this:

"honey you look amazing to me. I only want you to be happy"

Have him learn that line. When you ask for help with a diet, he can repeat it back to you. He won't be your calorie counting buddy, but that's ok right?

Yea I now know what a mistake it was to ask him to hold me accountable for my eating habits. It just creates hard feelings. I have really been trying so hard, Running 2-3 miles and day and a restricted calorie count. I just have such a sweet tooth!!
