| Tweaking foods rather than eliminating them
The idea with this thread is to share thoughts on ways to change favorite foods a bit rather than eliminating them all together.
Are you avoiding any foods that you wish you didn't have to? Maybe there's a good way to make it OK again.
Got any tips or recipe tweaks that make tricky foods easier on BG? I've picked up lots of great ideas here, and there. Many right here on DF. Adding acid (lemon or vinegar) to recipes or adding fats for example.
Apples spike you? Did you know that different varieties of apples have different effects? Did you know that as fruits ripen more carbs are converted to sugars increasing the glycemic index? Don't give up on apples, try a different variety, eat it early and add some cheese (fat) to slow down the spike!
Almond flour versus white wheat flour, agave nectar versus sugar, darker chocolate versus milk chocolate and so on. We know a bunch of tricks - lets have some give and take.
So challenge us, or help out.
