According to research by Dr. Bruce Roseman, weight gain stems from an addiction to certain foods. In reality, you are a prison of what you eat. Accepting that food addiction is a real problem and treating it like any other addiction puts you in control of your health and your weight. Rule number one when beginning your diet overhaul is no bread and no potatoes. Keep an eye out for foods that have bread in them — pizza, wraps, pitas, tortillas, meatloaf (often made with bread or breadcrumbs). When in doubt, read ingredient labels. When eliminating “addictocarbs,” keep in mind that the things acceptable are shakes, proteins, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, cheeses, salads, pasta alternatives, bread alternatives and potato alternatives. Cut out the nine highly addictive carbs while eating healthy, flavorful foods such as fruits, nuts, vegetables, cheese and meat. Click through below to see the swaps you need to make in your diet! Swap this for that: Diet changes for healthier living SWAP: Sugar There are 12.6 grams of carbs in one tablespoon of sugar. One teaspoon of sugar has 4.2 grams. FOR: Applesauce Dr. Roseman recommends swapping regular applesauce with applesauce without sugar to add sweetness to a meal. Homemade applesauce is even better. Wash and peel before making sauce from apples, peaches or even pears. Ingredients: • 3 apples, peeled, cored, cut into 2-inch pieces • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional) • 5 – 10 berries (optional) Place apple pieces, cinnamon and berries into a food processor. Pulse on high about 60 seconds or until apples have the consistence of applesauce. Applesauce is a great addition for addictocarb-free sweet potato pancakes and a great snack on its own. Oatmeal with strawberries and applesauce is a perfect breakfast. SWAP: Potatoes White potatoes are an addictive carb. It is best to swap with… FOR: Sweet potatoes Whether frozen, baked, roasted or mashed, there is no reason to eliminate potatoes from your diet. Plan healthier and use sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are a relatively high-carb, high-calorie food that fits nicely into the Addictocarb Diet. They are low in sodium and very low in saturated fat and cholesterol. Sweet potatoes are a good source of dietary fiber, providing double the amount of fiber of white potatoes. Prepare sweet potatoes in the same way as you would regular potatoes: baked, mashed, fried — even baked as chips or gated for pancakes. SWAP: Bread It’s easy to swap bread with bread alternatives since there are so many products on the market today. FOR: Lettuce, veggies Try a bun-less sandwich. Use large leaves of romaine lettuce in place of bread, tortillas or buns. Lettuce provides a crisp, refreshing texture and works well with a variety of fillings. Lettuce is gluten free — an extra bonus. Try a tuna and romaine lettuce sandwich or hamburger on romaine. Cucumber chips are great to replace tortilla chips or other chips for dipping in salsa, guacamole and hummus. Wasa Crisp ‘n Light 7 Grain Crackerbreads are made with whole-grain wheat, wheat rye, yellow corn, barley, spelt, whole-grain amaranth and quinoa. Since it is all natural, it does not contain trans fats and is a good source of whole grains. Try a peanut butter and raspberry sandwich with Crisp’n Light crackers. SWAP: Pasta You cannot have pasta is you are going to break the carb addiction. FOR: Spaghetti squash and other alternatives Dreamfields Pasta is a pasta, but not an addictocarb. While it is made of the same ingredient as regular pasta, it contains an added mix of harmless fibers and wheat protein that set up barriers to digestive enzymes. Therefore, it functions more like fiber. Other non-pasta options include pasta made from Jerusalem artichokes, made from a sunroot, a species of a sunflower, it is used as a substitute for potatoes and in pasta. Remember that spaghetti squash is a wonderful swap for regular pasta. SWAP: Soda There are 39 grams of carbs in one 2 liter bottle of cola. FOR: Flavored water Swap sugar-filled soda with flavored waters, Perrier and other non-sugar carbonated beverages. Read the ingredients to avoid high fructose corn syrup. SWAP: Snacks Avoid the carbs of pretzels and potato chips. FOR: Healthy snacks To avoid addictive carbs, swap potato chips or pretzels for peanuts, popcorn or dark chocolate. of SEE ALL BACK TO SLIDE SHOW CAPTION + HIDE CAPTION – More in Lifestyle: The sneakers you’ll live in this spring 20 blogger recipes perfect for Mother’s Day brunch Shop this video: A powerful, portable steamer, under $40

Endocrine Today compiled a list of the top five news reports posted in April. Healio.com/Endocrinology readers were interested in culturally tailored type 2 diabetes programs, prevalence of comorbidities in type 2 diabetes, elevated 1-hour post-load glucose being a predictor for prediabetes risk, and much more. Culturally tailored type 2 diabetes programs may benefit Hispanic patients Among Hispanic patients with type 2 diabetes, involvement of family members in a culturally targeted intervention program may yield improvements in glycemic control, diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy and physical health-related quality of life. However, additional efforts to maintain these improvements are necessary, researchers wrote. Read more. Prevalence of comorbidities high in type 2 diabetes Nearly 98% of American adults with type 2 diabetes have at least one comorbid condition and nearly 90% have two comorbidities, with the burden increasing with age and more prevalent in men, recent study findings show. “Management of patients with type 2 diabetes is complicated by the fact that diabetes does not often occur in isolation,” Swapnil N. Rajpathak, MD, MPH, DrPH, executive director of the Center of Observational and Real-world Evidence (CORE), Merck, told Endocrine Today. “A diagnosis of diabetes is often accompanied by additional diagnoses of other comorbid conditions, each with their own risks and challenges, which can impact a patient’s overall disease state. Understanding the degree to which comorbidities occur, and which comorbid conditions commonly co-occur in patients with diabetes, is critical to comprehensively manage these patients, including the selection of treatment for type 2 diabetes.” Read more. Elevated 1-hour post-load glucose reliable predictor of prediabetes risk An elevated 1-hour postload glucose level during an oral glucose tolerance test may better predict prediabetes risk, even when the 2-hour level falls within a normal glucose tolerance range, according to recent study findings. In an analysis of a large Israeli population assessed for all-cause mortality over more than 30 years, researchers found that an elevated 2-hour glucose level indicated increased mortality risk, independent of the 1-hour level.

Sleep apnea linked to microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes Various parameters of obstructive sleep apnea are associated with diabetic neuropathy and estimated glomerular filtration rate in type 2 diabetes, according to recent study findings. In a cross-sectional study, researchers analyzed data from 880 adults with type 2 diabetes admitted to 12 hospitals across six cities in China between September 2012 and February 2013 (55.6% men; mean age, 59 years; mean BMI, 25.1 kg/m²; mean diabetes duration, 7.6 years).

Paleolithic-type diet may reduce diabetes, CVD risk BOSTON — Postmenopausal women with obesity who adhered to a Paleolithic-type diet for 2 years saw a changes in specific fatty acid levels linked to improved insulin resistance vs. women on a standard low-fat diet, according to study findings presented here. “We found that fatty acids associated with insulin resistance are more decreased in the Paleolithic-type diet compared to the control diet … improving a person’s metabolic profile,” Caroline Blomquist, a PhD student in the department of public health and clinical medicine at Umea University in Umea, Sweden, told Endocrine Today. “Hopefully this will decrease the risk for insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease in the future.” Read more.
