anyone have any diabetic meal ideas?

gracehs1d

i was told to basically be on a no carb diet. protein and veg only! i need some meal ideas (that can be meal prepped) that are savory and that i’ll actually enjoy eating 😫 i know the saying “eat to live not live to eat” but i just want some good food to eat to keep this maintainable. i also need to stay in the 1,400 cal limit so it makes it harder.

No carb? Or low carb? Big difference.

Basically, meat and vegetables. Low sugar fruit like berries. A little dairy, some fats, nuts.

You'll have to come up with meals you like. Stir fries are good, salads with meat. Stews. I mean, we could make suggestions, but you'll have to tailor it to foods you like.

Google is your friend for this kind of stuff. Also, allrecipes.com is good, you can enter the foods you like and it will suggest meals.

Sure, here you go. There's around 1300 recipes for low carb and ketogenic diets. Makes me wonder when the American Diabetes Association will acknowledge that it's not a progressive disease, which has been and still is their stance, unbelievable really. Anyway, good for you that your taking control of your own health and joining the millions of people that have reversed and put this disease into remission with a low carb intervention.

Can you get a referral to a registered dietician? They might be able to help you more. Also, you need to figure out what kind of food increases blood glucose a lot and which doesn't.
