On the heels of my excited post about how I can eat 1900 calories, 50% of which can be carbs, and how I have been having low energy and heart palpitations and can't seem to motivate myself to get into the gym like I was motivated over the summer and fall, I ran into this article which reminded me of information I had already been exposed to before:
http://www.rheumatic.org/insulin.htm
I am going to adjust my food targets (not like I've actually been logging anything or sticking to any of it lately with all my carb enjoyment) to the following for weight loss:
1400-1600 cals per day
carbs (ideally 40%): 140g (560 cals) - 160g (640cals)
protein (40% - 45%) : 155g per day (620 cals)
fat (16% - 20%): 24g per day (220 cals) - 37g (340cals)
At this point, I am going to start reducing my carbohydrates, allowing for my morning All-Bran which has a low-glycemic index anyhow (doesn't spike the insulin so much) and my sweet potatoes every other day.
