    If you like vegetable soup you can have 6 - 8 Cups of this a day without meat, or 3 - 5 Cups with meat.

    1 lb. Lean stew meat

    2 cans sweet corn with juice

    2 cans fire roasted tomatos with garlic

    1 can green beans

    1 can peas

    1 can lima beans

    1 can carrots with juice

    1 Can tomato sauce

    1 can potatoes

    1 whole onion

    2 bay leaves

    salt and pepper to taste

    combined in pot until onions are cooked

    ENJOY!!!!

    Note: canned vegetables have more nutrition than fresh or froze

    How do can vegetables have more nutrition than fresh? I thought they had a lot of sodium and preservatives.
    Even low sodium ones have more salt than fresh.

    fresh vegetables are picked before they just are completely ready for picking so they can be washed and transported, which makes them not get their full nutritional value. Where canned vegetables are picked at just the right time, and prepped and sealed in the can.

    instead of saying what you want it to be low in, what is it supposed to be high in?
    low carb, low protein, what's left just fat? low carb high fiber?

    As a fellow diabetic, you can have carve but just make sure that they are complex ones like brown rice and wholewheat pasts and these will also help keep you blood sugars more level, hope this helps : ) are you type 1 or 2?

    This tilapia recipe is pretty good:

    4 tilapia filets
    4 garlic cloves crushed
    1 onion diced
    cayenne or black pepper or Mrs. Dash to taste

    Rub garlic on filets. Sprinkle onions and pepper/herb mix over filets. Broil for 5-9 minutes until flaky.
    4 servings at ~220 calories, 74 mg sodium and 3.6 g carbs for each serving.

    If you don't like tilapia, you can substitute salmon for about the same caloric and sodium content. We love salmon with just a little lemon and dill thrown under the broiler.

    Some diabetics have issues with their kidneys and protien is bad for bad kidneys. My mother is diabetic and her kidneys are only functioning at 25% so they have her on a diabetic, low sodium, low protien diet.

    You can take your favorite cookie or cake recipes and replace the sugar with splenda or truvia, replace your butter with smart balance, and replace half of your all purpose flour with oatmeal that you have processed to a powder in a food processor. Works wonders. My mother is diabetic and has been doing this for years. There are always baked goods in her house but now they are healthy.
