I did a double whopper without cheese and ate the whole thing my bs did not spike to much Thats the first one I have had since I was diagnosed.

I forgot what the inside of Burger King looked like.

Well its been so long, I forgot that eating a double Whopper at noon, means it is still with you at 4:30, O-Happy day.

I had forgot about the lasting effect of those burgers, dinner was a light one, at 7:00pm, still burping up the Whopper, 6.5 hrs later. It was good though.

Buffalo burger from Trader Joe's, grilled on a George Foreman's grill, with melted provolone on top, served on a bed of mixed greens dressed with olive oil, and a side of green olives. Dessert: a half-ounce of unsweetened baking chocolate and 10 blueberries.

I'm curious as to why no cheese? I eat my burgers w/o as I don't care for melted cheese, but I wouldn't think the cheese would have caused a difference in BS response.

Never aquired a taste for the industrial cheese most fast food places use. Nasty, Nasty, Nasty

Yeah, that sounds absolutely delish...
I never had a big appetite for fast food unless the urge struck me. And now, as a type 2, I would never even go near it. Aren't there by-products and fillers in some burgers? I think that could raise BG. Forget the buns.

Why not just make yourself a great burger at home instead? I have a recipe for the "secret sauce" that McD's uses if anyone wants it. It's no secret. My favorite burgers are Italian with melted mozzarella and a large slice of tomato, Mexican with cheddar cheese and spices like chili and cumin in the meat, even a drop of liquid hickory smoke. Mushroom Swiss and things like that. I skip the bread so I can have some oven baked sweet potato fries with it and those can be jazzed up with different seasonings to match your burger. A burger with 6 ounces of fries, and that's a plate full, is about 30 g carb. So, why go fast food when you can have fabulous food?

*sigh* and then there are those of us who cannot tolerate the taste/ texture of sweet potatoes... and fries are one of my biggest weaknesses too. I'm still looking for a viable alternative lol.

The whopper thing sounds good though... never tried it- I just may this weekend.

Try the green banana fries, Moonglo . . . they're definitely a reasonable facsimile!

Thanks Granny, I'll have to try them

I agree, I would much rather cook my own burger, but sometimes we are under time constraints.

One of my favorite burgers at home:

Ground Chuck: Patty out and press and indentation sorta like a pizza dough. Salt, Pepper

When the burger starts to sizzle on the skillet, I fill the center portion with Red Hot sauce, let that cook in for a while, flip, look out at this point. When top side is brown flip back over and cover with Swiss cheese.

More of a mans burger I guess
