  • If you've never used TVP, this recipe rocks. TVP( textured vegetable protein) is soybeans with the starch taken out. It's also super cheap. It can be used in chili and spaghetti sauce easily. If you do cut it with actual meat, never use a fatty meat as the TVP will soak all the fat up. Vegan Sloppy Joes "This filling…

  • I drink Diet Sunkist. Has caffeine and tastes great. Can't stand any diet colas. Then of course Diet Mountain Dew also. Never had a problem with it, but the I use a big mug, fill it with ice first, then diet soda.

  • Because he is jerk. You lost the zero, now go get a hero. It feels hopeless....it isn't. Do what makes you happy. Things will sort themselves out. I am married for the first and only time. Didn't meet my wife until I was 35.

I am diabetic, so if I want pizza, I have to limit myself to a slice, maybe two at most, depending on the pizza. As an example, I can have a 20 ounce Coca-Cola, but is it worth…
    in any idea for a picky eater? Comment by Tugar4440 July 2014
  • Everything grilled. Pork steak marinated in Korean BBQ sauce, red potatoes, portobello mushroom caps, and asparagus, drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper. Low carb as I had three small taters.

  • I also am a recently diagnosed type 2. So far I have been relatively fortunate. I've taken to grazing more than eating. That way I am not really fighting hunger and it seems to be keeping my BG more level. Also taking a diabetic multivitamin, which also seems to boost my energy. I just did a quick search on the ketogenic…
