| Hi StoneGirl,
You've stumbled onto the friendliest diabetic forum I've found. I joined here a couple of weeks ago.
You've gotten some great advice from the folks here...the one thing I didn't see was to drink plenty of water. Lots of water.
Since I'm the only one in my family that'll eat green veggies, I've come to rely heavily on the Pictsweet and Bird'seye Steamers brand of frozen veggies. You throw the bag in the microwave and in 5-6 minutes, have great steamed veggies. Throw in a little Promise margarine and/or some ButterBuds for a little buttery flavoring. I like to take their Asian style veggies, add a little teryaki sauce and some grilled chicken to satisfy my craving for Chinese food.
Like PrincessLinda, I've found the low-carb tortillas great for making sandwich wraps. In addition to Mission, there are also other brands with even fewer cards. Look for any of the low-card tortillas manufactured by Ole' Foods (several brand names). Theirs are only 5 carbs per tortilla.
Since I'm also fighting triglycerides, I'm watching fats almost as carefully as carbs so I don't do regular breakfast foods. I'll often take one of the tortillas, put on a slice of fat-free smoked turkey breast, add a slice of 2% cheese and heat in the microwave. Add a little lettuce and a spoonful of salsa. Makes a great burrito for breakfast.
Once you start getting acclimated, you'll be surprised at what you can eat, and how little you'll even desire sweets. I attended a huge covered dish dinner last night. They had two tables of deserts. I found myself not even the least interested.  |
