Lasagna is a close second, followed by "works" topped bagels.
Those foods are what helped make me overweight though.
POTATO chips.
Noodles, with butter and cheese.
And just the freedom to eat a little bit of them even.

If I can find some low carb lasagna noodles I think i can craft a tasty veggie lasagna with low fat mozzarella and low fat ricotta.
Beth buys potato chips and I just watch her eat them, doesn't bother me much.

Potato chips are my bete noir!
I really could do buttered dreamfileds okay, I bet. Or maybe ... pasta agli oli ... garlic and oil! Ooooh (swoon).
I used to bake BREAD in the winter. Really good, heavy funky bread, with oatmeal ... or mashed potatoes! Yeasty and crusty ... ****.
Wonder what I can do with flaxmeal? I'll look this winter.

Fresh baked bread drowning in butter.
Close second is a big bag of Doritoz with Mt. Dew. (I still indulge occasionly, but I used to almost live on 'em):(

Looking back at my "eating history" I think I may have consumed about 500+ grams of Carbs a day.
Eating just 100 to 130 grams the pounds are melting away.
My grandma made a GREAT white bread. Eggs and butter in it.
She would serve the first slices buttered, hot, with a bowl of vanilla ice cream.

My dad bought himself a breadmaker about 15-20 yrs ago and liked it so much one Xmas we all got one as a present.
I made lots of dense dark breads mainly. Still have it gathering dust around here in a closet I think. Loved breads as well. AND GOOD BAGELS.

You are killin' me, Linda! I baked bread all year round, and have sourdough starter in the fridge right now that needs to be fed. My breads are full of eggs, milk, potatoes, whole grains & seeds . . . yeah - "funky" is a good word for it!
Hot fresh bread & real dairy butter . . . O-M-G!
And I'm definitely researching low-carb recipes . . . you keep me posted & I'll keep you posted!
And yes, T2NY . . . good bagels! Whoa . . . !!!
AND GOOD BAGELS.
The small, hockey-puck-like ones. NOT those fluffy things like Einstein's ... (they started out local to me, but ... yuck!).

With gobs of Land O Lakes butter of course.

From all the diabetic forums I've read I've noticed something striking:
the type 1's seem to handle saturated fats better and actually benefit from them.
the type 2's usually can't handle much saturated fat without adverse effects (increased triglycerides). We are almost, or, totally insulin resistant.

I still eat pretty much what I want.
I have pretty much cut bread out tho. It spikes me bad, bread made with white flour of course.
Everything else, I just deal with it like anyone would. Thru activity, and not overdoing it.

Almost all of the type 1's I know aren't overweight and eat pretty much what they want to.
Because once your body gets its insulin your bodys processes become "normal."
A type 2, until they have lost the weight they need to, is insulin resistant. This affects how our body processes the foods we ingest, imo.
I'm no science major, obviously.
:D
But I know a few type 1's. One is my best bud.

I think sourdough may rank a little lower on the glycemic scale than some other breads, but it's still high carb.

I miss banana split's like crazy! WhenI was little I used to share one with my mom once a week. Even though I am type 1 and could cover it with insulin, it is really out of the question, my bg would be high for days.

Resistance is not just weight related. There appears to be a strong link but it's not the whole story. I was to all intents and purposes resistant to insulin through years of being underweight. You get people diagnosed with type 2 who are athletic and slender.
It's also worth remembering resistance seems be one or more of a number of mechanics that could be occurring. There is resistance in fat cells. Resistance in the liver. There is an excess of sugar production. There are excesses or surges of hormones. Then of course lifestyle and stress induced resistance. Then there might be the question of resistance specifically to endogenous insulin. There is likely other mechanics and more to the story science has not quite sorted out yet. It's not just a weight issue.
Many T1s might have a bit of insulin resistance as well. Some have quite a bit, to the degree they may basically have t1 + t2. In fact, I'd say that's a high percentage of the ones who hang around here trying to solve things (like myself) because it appears to make the whole prospect of control, especially with tricky basal issues, a whole other level of fun and games.
But yes, other T1s aren't particularly resistant and can match carbs and insulin with quite a bit of success and little weight gain (given due care). Putting a number on which are resistant, who have weight issues, cholesterol issues, etc? Personally, I wouldn't even try.

Definitely pizza...all Filipino food (rice, lumpia...) and really awful, but oh-so-good American Chinese like Gen. Tso's, eggrolls and Fried rice.
Oh now I'm sad :( ...but losing a good twenty pounds feels a lot better than all that tastes. :D

Amen to THAT, Rose ... BTW, which side of your family were named for? It is such a perfect fit for either culture?
That's an easy question. Pizza easily. I can deal with not eating any of the other "bad" foods. But Pizza, I just want to cry when I think about not being able to eat it. And it's worse if I just eat one small piece---I just want more and more.

You might want to try having your pizza on a low carb tortilla. Just heat the tortilla in a skillet, browning on both sides, brush on a little olive oil, top with a little tomato sauce and italian seasonings, add whatever meat/veggies you want to the top, top with a little mozzarello cheese and bake on a cookie sheet until cheese is bubbly....it's not exactly the same as Papa John's, but it beats never having pizza.

PrincessL, that definitely would better than what I tried -- I tried to make one by grilling cheese and pizza sauce, in a muffin-in-a-minute. The muffin flavor with sauce and cheese, it ended up tasting like a wet dog!

Last month at a graduation party, I was alerted by my T1.5 brother-in-law that the pizzas were low-carb, & I know they weren't homemade. Since this party was held in Lincoln, NE where Valentino's rules, it's possible they came from Val's, but it wouldn't hurt to ask around.

I miss "loaded" baked potatoes...
Butter, Fresh bacon, Sour cream, Cheese & Chives.
I sometimes (pre dx.) would buy a huge russet, and would just have that for dinner. It would fill the dinner plate.
I know I can have just the "fixins", but somehow it's not the same without the potato! :)

Try scooping out most of the starch and loading the skin -- that's where the flavor is anyhow! (Thanks, Joel -- it was Joel wasn't it?).
I miss fried potatoes of any kind. One thing I have done is my wife likes baked potatoes, she doesn't like the skin. Kinda of a bonus for me.

No -- but, that suggestion was his a while back!
I don't think it's one specific food that I miss.
It's the loss of the ability to eat whatever, wherever I want.
Can't just say "ohh that looks good" and eat it.

Captain Crunch with 4 slices of toast, sliced bananas and milk for breakfast. Stopping at Dunkins on the way to work for a couple of Boston Creame donuts. Mashed potatoes, Hot dinner rolls with melting butter. French toast, 8 slices with pure NH maple syrup and butter (soaking in it)

PIZZA!!! It's not that I wouldn't have a slice as a diabetic, but I've recently been diagnosed with celiac. I tried to make one myself, sucked. I think I know why wheat is used to make breads! Every time my husband asks me what I want to eat I say "PIZZA!" and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon. :(

You are killin' me, Linda! I baked bread all year round, and have sourdough starter in the fridge right now that needs to be fed.
I refuse to give up making bread even if I can't eat much of it. Just made 5 loaves of sourdough - 2 disappeared at a dinner party on Saturday and 3 are safely tucked away in the freezer. My little starter is happily dozing in the fridge, waiting for my next irresistable baking frenzy.

I crave potato chips.
Rather than have them enlarge in my brain to the point of bingeing, a few weeks ago I actually opted to get a one ounce bag, open it, and allocate the carb grams to it. 15 g ... not os unholy, right?
I ate FOUR chips, and handed the bag to my daughter to polish off. They were very salty (but my favorite brand, mind you), and just ... well, shrank in importance once I gave myself approval.
Thanks to Jenny Ruhl! (Blood Sugar 101 author, if you did not know)! Don't let foods inflate in importance to you! Work them into your diet occasionally and you will find perhaps they are not the priority they seemed!

It's a close race between potatoes & pasta. Really never met a potato dish I didn't like. And, pasta, too - especially the really creamy mac 'n cheese made with sharp cheddar & little crispy bits on the top.
OK, enough of that! I'm now going to focus on grilled veggies, which I actually do love & am eating probably 4 times a week this summer when I can get so much beautiful fresh produce.
Whenever I'm tempted, I remind myself of how I feel after I eat the stuff I shouldn't. Just not worth it!

Try the myriad recipes that substitte frozen cauliflower for the mac -- just google fake macaroni and cheese! You get hte nice brown bits, and all! YUMMY, really. Not expecting it to be pasta, but still delicious!

This really works for me, especially when I was first diagnosed, even now I was craving grits so I tried a little and when I checked 2 hours later my bg was still normal (106) so the next morning I tried a full portion (with a lot of butter) and two hours later by bg went up to 115 points from my fbg of 105. Three hours later it was 125 and it went down from there. Yeah, I discovered a carb that I can eat at breakfast without blowing my blood glucose all over heck and gone.
You can eat GRITS? I loved them ... but BOOM! My BGs blew sky high. I have quit trying.
If I were you, I would recheck once in a while ... and not assume they are okay forever.

Hmm...cookies and anything potato. Mind you I choose not to eat stuff like this very often even though I could load up on the Humalog.
Funny thing, though - since I have significantly reduced my carb intake (over the last few months) I have had almost zero cravings for them and I actually prefer vegetables to anything else (a significant portion of my diet). Favorite things lately are stuffed bell peppers (with whatever meat/nonmeat) less the rice and veggie/garden burgers (the Garden Burger brand name has about 15g/patty, but Boca ones generally have ~6).
I have also been buying what seems like tons of zucchini and yellow squash and sauteeing them with herbs - good by themselves, but I'm sure there are a ton of other ways to make them interesting.
I wish I would have started low-carbing a long time ago, and I'd do it regardless of having diabetes (but would I have even been introduced to it?!)..

I miss second helpings. I used to drink cold apple juice or cranberry or mixed ALL DAY LONG. Now I eat apples with the peel on, and I feel good. No spike with oranges, but orange juice is reserved for the few Lows I had before halving the Amaryl dose. I still think it's slightly ridiculous that I was harming my self with innocent-seeming apple juice and wholesome-seeming rice.
When I was first diagnosed I missed toasted french bread with melted Promise or Smart Balance, so eventually I ate a large piece. Up went the glucose. My main problem seems to be portion size. I can tolerate freshly baked biscuits - yumm - if I only have one or two. I also crave french fries which is weird since it's not a food I ate very often. I've had a french fry or two from a friend's plate. All I can taste is grease. It's the sodium I need to avoid. I don't really like them that much. I remember liking them. Now mashed potatoes is another story. Major cravings. But, luckily, if I measure things out and don't overindulge, i'm okay. Half a baked potato with my baked chicken and broccoli, but not a whole one.
I have had veggie pizza without cheese and no spike with two slices. I miss the bad food that I liked, high fat and high cholesterol. Shrimp are just out for me. I miss getting the crawfish etoufee and rice with garlic bread at a local restaurant.
I can tolerate watermelon just fine. It's interesting to read the postings about what people can and can't tolerate. I don't do well with sugar free chocolates but fine with the hard candies I've tried. I only miss desserts when I'm confronted with them. Then I'm wistful for layer cake. Just the cake; not a fan of icing.

This morning for breakfast my husband sat across from me with a hot english muffin covered in homemade raspberry jam.
Oooohhhhh.:ahhhhh: :afraid:

:( As much as I tell hubby his choices don't bother me, they do. He's trying to eat healthier too but if he wants a cupcake he eats it. This is all so hard. Makes me depressed.

Pat used to really enjoy baking bread. I loved the stuff, but would usually manage to resist it. After he had to change his diet and do without a few things he really loves, he realized how hard it is watch others having these things. I kind of hate that he gave up a hobby he loves, but he insists. When he wants a piece of cake or a doughnut, he buys one and eats it alone. I don't mind, he gave up home baked bread for me. :)
