@muksu hahaha right!! And so it gives it a chance for my blood sugar to go down then eat cake or its just gunna be really high becAuse I'm having tacos at my baby shower. I haven't had a sweets or anything I think a peice of cake or 2 he'll be fine.
@jenny955, I had tacos all the time with GD. If you want to keep it low just use the big lettuce Romain leafs and go without tortilla or use the small corn ones. I could eat about 2 corn tortillas and still stay within my carb requirement for the meal. They also make low carb but I wasn’t a huge fan haha. My mother in law was super sweet and made me a low carb cupcake for my birthday. It was surprisingly good. I think it just used a nut or coconut flour.
@jenny955, oh and I used a lot of the Joseph brand wraps they wouldn’t be bad for tacos. They are made from flax seeds and are only like 6g net carb after you factor in the fiber.
@barebon not bad ill have to look into that thank you! My doctor said I could have tops 4 tacos.. I'm sure this momma is gunna want more than 4.. But I'm also gunna have fruit tray and veg.
@barebon and my doctor isn't to concerned about my sugar intake more concerned about carbs they gave me a certain amount I can have a day let me tell ya its hard as crap to stay in that range. And I'm always hungry so it sucks
@jenny955, oh I know the feeling for sure. I was living on peanuts and jerky towards the end of my second pregnancy. I told my husband that I needed a warning for people with nut allergies to remain at least 2 feet away from me at all times because it was coming out my pores. My dietician said something about fiber being indigestible carbs so you can subtract the fiber from total carbs to get what your body is actually receiving if that makes sense. fruits were my nemesis!
