Note 1: Points and such are loosely based on Weight Watchers and the labels on the products. Although some 1/4 cups are listed, I don’t track below 1/2 point or 1/2 carb, etc. I rounded up in most cases. If in doubt the above booklet helps. Weight Watchers is great and I have lost weight on it in the past. However, I needed to track a lot more than points.
The food list incorporates foods I would eat. However, someone else might eat differently. The food list is geared to my diseases and concerns. Someone else would need to add/subtract from the food list.
The numbers used throughout this diet system are for those who are female, over 65, and sedate. If you are male, active, trying to gain weight or bulk, and younger, your numbers of allowed intake will be different. However listings of foods points, carbs, fats, etc will be the same. The number of allowed points, etc will be different depending on your lifestyle [active-sedate, losing-bulking up weight], gender, and well being [health diseases or lack of]. — If in doubt, see a nutritionist, check the internet, read product labels.
Some dairy is required, but limit its use.
AS I NEED TO TRACT SO MUCH, I made a Daily Diet Listing. The daily diet listing is then used to do the Monthly Summary. This diet system is to help me keep tract of how I am doing health-wise.
This form [below] is 11″ by 8 1/2″ [a bit wider for Items/size]
Note: This form is for a sedate 77 yr old so if you follow this system, adjust for age, activity level, and health.
Lunch/Dinner can be switched upon day’s need or situation.
In combination with my tracking worksheet form these help me. This is my current method. Different people use different methods of handling their diabetes. I am new to it all so this helps me. Everyone has to figure out what works for them. Also, I use pencil in case I need to change something. Also I do the count at the end of the day for the tracking summary.
Update Note: American Diabetes Association lists 13-16 carbs [15 grams each appx] as normal daily intake of carbs on a 2000 calorie diet. [I assume 9-11 to be normal for a woman who is sedate.]
I use these two forms and they help me, but my Sister uses index cards on her refrigerator instead of a form. Everyone has their own way of doing it.
I am using the Univ of Ark [Diabetes Division] Food Exchange List with the American Diabetes Assoc My Plate Pamphlet of allowed foods along with Weight Watchers Point System of 2010 for references of above categories and monitoring of food and carbs/nutrition.
Below form has been updated 3/21/2024. Added Fruits & Vegetables to form.
