I had vegetarian risotto--my own recipe. 1 cup and 1 cup of beans, 1 tablespoon of brewers yeast and 1 canned pear. 125. I don't usually check my post dinner level, but usually right before bed.

I have no self control whatsoever, so I've eliminated all sweeteners from my diet for the time being. I figure that once I know what coffee, tea, apples really taste like I may go back to using other sweeteners in moderation.

Ah, that's what I was getting when I read your post.:smile: Don't feel guilty about the fact you can eat more carbs than others can others can eat. If you can eat the carbs enjoy them. For me, I was feeling anxious about my exchange program of 1800 calories a day. As a vegetarian how in the world am I going to get the…

Many years ago I read a book called "Fit for Life" that proposed that you do not combine proteins and starches in the same meal. The theory was put forth that animal based protein takes one form of stomach acid to digest, while starches take another. combining the two at a single meal is what led to feeling tired after…
