Ok, since I got my venting done, I thought I would post some food's for thought. Want a hamburger? Try a turkey burger! To me its best on the grill with a few smoke chips to add a bit of flavor! And instead of a hamburger bun, use two large portabello mushrooms! very tasty, and you just deleted your carbs! Everyone knows fish is the best source of protein! Eat more fish! Love mine, of course, grilled! Quinoa pasta is a great alternative! Yes its carby, but the carbs from quinoa wont spike you like white or wheat pasta's! Omlettes are awesome for diabetics! And you have so many options to put in them! My two favorite are jalapeno and onion, and steak and mushroom! Be careful on the jalapeno and onion, as onions can be loaded with sugar! Cauliflower mashed like potatoes are awesome! And a great way to switch out a carb! Chicken breasts stuffed with mushrooms and spinach are another favorite! And you can stuff chicken breasts as well as center cut pork chop with so many things! Want to substitute potato chips? Use pork rinds! Just not a good idea for those with cholesterol issues! Feel like subway? Toss the bread! They will make any salad with the lunch meats from any of their sandwiches! Just dont get crazy with the salad dressing! I say this because most "dieting women" make a salad more fattening than a whopper just by the amount of salad dressing! Yes I read that in a science study! And on the salad note, if you feel 2 table spoons (serving size) isnt enough. Make your salad in tupper ware, add your dressing, put the lid on, and shake the hell out of it! Now you covered your salad with dressing! And last but not least, please study and learn the low glycemic fruit and veggie index! Hope ya'll enjoyed! Member of type 2 diabetes support group
