Thread on wet bamboo skewers and grill for a few minutes per side. Serve over brown rice or grilled vegetables. Works with chicken…

My regular meter is a Life Source one touch. I get 100 test strips a month for 32.00 through the insurance company. All day long I test with the Relion strips at work. it has really helped me to figure out what I can eat and what I cant. Early on I was testing 3 or 4 times around every meal and snack just to see what was…

Can you go to Wal-Mart and get the test strips and their meter? the Relion Prime and 50 test strips are about 25.00 dollars US This is the meter I do most of my testing with as 50 test strips for 10 dollars is cheaper than I can get them with my insurance co-pay.

Congratulations Scubasuenc That is my next goal as I would like to get off Crestor, it costs way to much as there is not a generic version available. I hope you don't mind as I would like to use you as an example during my next doctors visit. After all this exercise and diet changes I assume I would really decent…

All kidding aside I have had good luck with Mission Carb Balanced tortillas and Aldis flat bread with flax seed. These are two bread products that do not seem to spike my BG very high.

The only thing better then bacon is bacon wrapped in bacon with a side of bacon. I would love some mashed potatoes with bacon. But I will be content with green beans cooked with bacon and onions.

With such a quick change I do not think waiting two weeks is a good idea. You could have underlying health issues causing this. See if you can get in to the doctor earlier.

YOU ROCK!!!!! Carful you may have to start selling tickets to that gun show. I do have one question. With your history of health issues, do you fell better when you wake up in the morning after losing 70 pounds?

Put aluminium foil in the bottom of your oven then set the oven to the lowestsetting you can. Take thinly sliced meat any thing will work venison, beef, goose breast, wild turkey breast, any thing. Stick tooth picks through one end of the meat slices and hang the marinated meat from the top rack in the oven. In two or…

Great news , you have been working hard ...I think the print outs do work magic with the doctors, they eat that stuff up. It must be the month of good results as far as doctor visits go. Every one is putting in serious time and effort in working their programs. Its great to see the pay off after so much hard work. Of…

A1C on January 23rd 6.6 A1c this morning 5.3 Doctor was happy so I was able to reduce my blood pressure dose by half. I knew I was doing well so it felt kind of anticlimactic. In this instant gratification world in which we live baby steps are so hard. I think that may be why MFP works so well for many of us, if we say we…

Excellent Results Keep up the effort. It's amazing how every one who posts to this forum truly know how much effort is required to make those numbers. Too everyone who is going to have their A1c tests in the next few weeks, I sending out good wishes for happy results.

13 pounds in a month is really good. I don't know what your starting point was but I have been working this for 3 and a half months. My blood sugars have dropped considerably and I had to buy new pants this weekend (down 8 inches). I usually will watch the number on the scale stay the same or go up for a week or two then I…

I was recently diagnosed so I wanted to test as much as possible. I currently test only a few times a day. But I have a fairly good idea what my levels are during the day. For example I know that if I workout in the aftternoon I can eat a submarine sandwich with my wife and my sugar levels should stay below 130. For…

I also purchased a Reli-on meter from Walmart I use it during the day at work and save the more expensive test strips for the twice a day testing. With the less expensive test strips I may test as often as six or eight times a day, it has been quite an education to see how my blood sugar will spike 15-30-60- and 120…

There must be something wrong with me. I left the Macro Settings alone but I still have trouble eating to any one specific macro goal. I am always low on Protein but the biggest problem is I cannot eat enough Fiber without blowing up my carbs in the process. Now you have to understand that I was eating over three thousand…

I know this is an older thread but I came up with this very quick and tasty recipe for Venison Fajitas. While turkey hunting this weekend. very easy and everyone thought it was great. of course we had been hunting turkeys all day and we were famished. 2 large onions cut into strips 3 Green bell peppers cut into strips 2…

Eat vegetables and protein, Foods to avoid, Potatoes Pasta Rice and breads and cakes made with White enriched Flour. Complex Carbs are the best choice. I know that sounds hard but when you approach it knowing what to avoid it is easier. There are usually lots of choices available. That said one small foil covered Chocolate…

Hey kid enough already your 18 years old and you like Oreos. Your six feet tall and you weigh 140 pounds. Come back when you have issues. Oh Yea and if you want to quit eating all that junk food get off the pot, quit smoking so much weed. Its called the munchies for a reason. Come back when you weigh 300 pounds and you are…

When I had a motorcycle accident in 2007 I spent a month in a nursing home learning to walk. We had a whole population that had to have every meal ground up as they could not chew food at all. They had chicken breast, peas and french-fries liquefied Breakfast Lunch and Dinner every da.

I have a friend who claims to have lost 45 pounds on the cabbage soup. I tried to explain that it might have had something to do with the hour of exercise he started doing everyday, but he swears it was the soup. As we all have found out the mental aspect of losing weight and being healthy is as important as eating at a…

Very interesting article. It helps put into words what we already know. It also helps to explain why it is so hard to give advice because what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. Although Bdubya I need to give you kudos early when I was getting somewhat frustrated you suggested washing my hands prior…

I have half an ounce of almonds every morning, I usually add a couple of cuties tangerines and a small banana but that may be to many carbs for a lot of people. I have been able with diet and exercise to get my sugars to stay down. They peak a half hour after eating then fall back to a normal range within 15 or twenty…

Congratulations this is a great success story. When I attend diabetes education classes it always amazes me how many people have been ignoring their disease for several years after diagnosis. I mean I am in a class with people that have been diagnosed for ten years and are just now starting to think about diet and…

Every Sunday I usually make a large pot of a Chicken or Beef soup with brown rice and mixed froze vegetables, we then eat from that through out the week for dinners and lunches. I work at a desk all day so I usually have access to a microwave during the day if I need it. Usually for lunch though I will pack a lunch with a…

This is excellent news. This is proof that hard work does pay off.

Man...What is it with Ben and Jerry's they got me in trouble with my doctor? I log everything all the time I don't freak out about the red numbers but I am disappointed in myself when it happens. I started on MFP in early February. On my first visit to the Doctor she was very happy that I had lost 18 pounds, this was the…

Hey I will join this group I have been shooting for a long time? I used to shoot 3D tournaments when my girls were young. Lately I practice a little bit then go Deer hunting. I have ate a lot of venison over the years. My wife wants to start shooting again so we gat a new Hoyt bow for her in January. I have been shooting a…

The very first thing was to start logging everything I ate. After that everything was is self explanatory. The Calorie data base will show you what you can eat and what you no longer want to eat.
