I don't know how low carb you want but I strive for 30 carbs max per meal as I am a diabetic. My hubby and I like sandwiches made with light ww bread (2 slices is only 16 carbs) or with ww tortillas/pita pockets. We usually eat this with a garden salad with light balsamic or Italian dressing and some…

You should try to get your doctor to refer you to a dietician or a certified diabetes educator(CDE)...they can help you a lot. Everyone here has their own opinion on what works for them...we are all different and what works for one may not work for another. My personal experience has been that counting carbs and watching…

I really like the recipes and advice from www.organizeyourselfskinny.com She does a lot of freezer cooking and prepping for the week. Most of her recipes are tasty and easy to prepare. Some of the freezer stuff was too much work for me (I can't spend my whole day off cooking several different meals) but some worked out…

yes...I am. I joined about a month ago and have been pretty faithful except for this week as I have been sick. Love the workouts but have had some problems with the website and logging food. Just curious...what is everyone else's opinion of it???

sounds yummy...thanks:tongue:

wow...some great suggestions here. I also eat out a lot and have a hard time choosing healthily. This is one of the reasons why MFP is so great...sharing ideas and helping each other!!! Thanks,

Hi, I was diagnosed T2 about 2 months ago after being Pre-diabetic for a couple of years. Why I thought it wouldn't catch up with me...idk??? Anyway, I am working hard to avoid medication since I already take a ton of pills for other stuff. I am counting my carbs and exercising more regularly. It has already shown a big…

thanks Kamaperry....I think this is right on the mark for me.

thanks, I am finding that is true. The days that I walk after dinner seem to be much lower than the days I don't.

some good advice...

they signed me up for a diabetes education class but it doesn't start til July. I'll probably have it all figured out by then.:laugh:

oops

thanks everyone for the advice and the friend requests...I will definately work on some of these suggestions. sorry for not responding earlier but my laptop has been down ever since I first posted. thanks again!!!!

*bump*...these all sound yummy!!!

love it....make sure you buy pre-rinsed or pre-washed quinoa if you don't want to have to rinse/wash it otherwise it can be kinda bitter :noway:

there was a facebook page for MFPer's looking to trade clothes but I can't remember what it was called exactly. try searching on facebook and see what you find...sorry :(

We eat them about once a week in a Chicken Teriyaki Stirfry...that is the only way I have ever made them. But they are good and even my hubby likes them that way. Yes they have a weird texture but not bad just weird. Since we try to eat low-carb, it is nice for a change. Keep meaning to try the alfredo with laughing cow…

Happy Birthday Jeri...

I am pondering buying the Ninja Kitchen 1100...I found this thread looking for some advice so now I am even more confused...lol. Has anyone used it for anything other than fruit drinks or smoothies? I watched it on TV and was interested in all the other features like making whole wheat pizza dough or natural peanut butter…

I started noticing about 20-25 pounds that I felt lighter and more comfortable but most other people didn't notice til about 30-35 pounds. But that could be because I finally switched to some smaller tighter clothes around then???

Jake...you gotta warn people not to be drinking when reading your posts...almost choked on my crystal light laughing so hard :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Gotta remember that one to pass it on :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Sandy...you too :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: thanks guys for the laughs...I really needed them this week!!! Just been…

lol...awesome!!! keep on wogging!!!

Most of the database items do not have potassium entered on them...probably because most manufacturers and restaurants do not put it on their labels or guides. So you can't go by what your diary says. If you think your potassium is low, you need to go to the doctor for a blood test. That is the only way to tell if it is…
