The other day I tried a recipe from Ree Drummond "the pioneer woman" and it was out of this world. Cut and seasoned 2 chiclet breasts with taco seasoning. Cook in oil with a can of diced green chiles. Use that chicken to form tacos with corn tortillas and fry them holding the tortilla down to keep the taco closed. Fry…

Been there! It's a bit dissapointing when you realize more than half is water weight and you just gained some of it back. It is important to keep up with exercise, healthy eating and a positive attitude. Also, I have starved myself to the point of passing out, it is scary! So my advise would be to follow a healthy diet,…

I make 3-day plans and after those 3 days I plan again. I have small kids and my husband but nobody helps me decide what to eat. I follow the pioneer woman on Facebook and about once or twice a week she posts a recipe and I usually make it within a week. I always tweak any recipe according to our taste and preference,…

Ok, for those who say it didn't work for them, it may very well be the case. BUT, my experience the first try was like this: I drank about 1 1/2 oz right before a meal and after that high carb meal my glucose was too high at the two hour mark. So I thought it hadn't worked. Later in the day I had more bread in amounts I…

Yum! Great alternative to the traditional hash browns bake. Will have to try it soon, thanx

It's great that you are making progress. Sounds like you are on the right track! However, you also may need to make a few more changes to your diet. For example, instead of that cheeseburger, try some ground beef, no cheese, on top of fresh spinach. Low fat cheese, non dairy milk or low fat. You don't have to go all fat…

Well, I thought that when you are entering a meal and you are 100 grams of chicken breast for example, it is referring to cooked chicken breast unless you choose specifically raw chicken in one of the many options the app gives you when entering a meal. The only time it counts it as raw is if you are entering a recipe,…

109 :(

Don't forget that when it comes to weight loss, what matters the most is calories. It isn't really the food, but number of calories that help you lose weight. For me personally given my weight, height, and how active I am, I should eat no more than 1290 calories a day. Some days I spend those calories eating cheese and…

It does seem overwhelming but once you find recipes that work for you, you can start to tweak them to your liking and nutritional needs and you'll be just fine. I am in a diet limited of carbs and at first I thought I was gonna die without bread. But I have found that if I add lots of veggies to my diet, I don't really…

The 98 made me happy this morning. Usually over 100, but not today :)

Agree, sugar in maple or honey affects you about the same as refined sugar. If you don't believe me, ask a diabetic. It's all in the amounts you eat. If you want to cook without sugar and with honey or natural sweeteners go ahead, but don't let the word "natural" deceive you. It will still give you diabetis if you eat them…

Olive oil might be a bit healthier but I don't know for sure, but u would still try it because I've noticed that oil makes muffins richer and softer than butter. Egg whites will add protein without the carbs and they are sure to keep your muffins from falling apart. I make pancakes with almond flour and they are pretty…

I didn't mention that the 1200 calories a day are temporary until I return to my normal weight. I have gained some weight in the last few months and I want to get rid of it to better control my glucose and avoid new problems. I had totally let go and been eating terribly, so not only did I get weight, I also developed…

Add them all as a recipe on MFP and it will let you decide how big a serving is. Then it will automatically give you all the nutrition facts per serving of that recipe

Thanks for all the great advise. The only reason I had cereal is that I used to get most of my fiber from the carbs I ate. Now that I'm not eating all those foods, I'm having fiber problems :/ I also had 3 prunes and I saw them on my glucose meter lol I might have to start Metamucil so I don't depend on carbs for fiber. I…

True^^^ the more sweets you eat, whether they affect glucose levels or not, they can make you crave more. Same with carbs. I've been eating 5 to 60 carbs a day with no sweets, no desserts, and only 1/4 of frozen berries in the morning with my plain yogurt, and I don't crave carbs. The protein keeps me full too. But today I…

97 but and hour after breakfast, it was 140 :(

1200 calorias al día. 60 gramos de carbohidratos o menos al día. Muchas verduras como espinacas frescas, brocoli, coliflor, lechuga, kale, quesos bajos en grasa, yogurt simple natural con fruta congelada sin azúcar, huevos, pollo guisado bajo en grasa, atún, leche de almendra sin azúcar, No pan, tortillas, galletas,…

I was missing corn chips so I made kale chips and they are delicious, almost just as good IMO. But I've been following a strict low carb, nutritious, diet and I don't get many cravings. So much so that when I make aunt Jemima chocolate chip pancakes for my daughters, I don't really miss them even though I love them. I will…

Kale without ribs, cut into bite size pieces, washed and completely dried (one bunch). Mix the kale with 2 tbsp of olive oil and salt to taste (go light to avoid too salty chips) Bake at 275 for ten to 15 minutes. They taste great, and are super crunchy

Teke teke by Patrick sweatndance on YouTube. It's part of my daily routine at home. I do it twice every time. Good arm workout. Las manos arriba by sumbaerobics on YouTube also. I like the choreography. Limbo by Patrick sweatndance on YouTube. And fiesta by the same guy.

Bananas are high in carbs. Just one has 30 grams. Try plain yogurt with some frozen berries and one egg any way you like for a filling high protein, low-carb breakfast. Ground turkey and spices like sage, thyme, oregano, browned with a bit of olive oil to go with scrambled eggs in the morning instead of all that processed…
