For me, not buying it helps A LOT! Out of sight, out of mind. I do occassionally cave in and buy a small snack sized pouch of chips. Chips and anything crispy and salty is the bane of my existence and I just can't resist.

I have bananas often. I've heard they can be high in sugar so they might be a problem for the diabetic. I also think there are quite a bit of carbs in them but I factor that into my eating. The high K apparently helps monitor blood pressure because of the Na/K pumps that work on the cellular level...again, stuff I heard a…

For me when I'm at home, my parents and relatives are always giving me food and will give me a disappointed look when I refuse (kind of makes me feel obligated to eat everything they give me).

Chickpea salad sandwiches. Mash…

I do a similar Greek pasta salad with orzo, tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, and marinated artichoke hearts. Another one I like a lot is orzo with bocchini (or mozzarella), tomato, and basil.

From personal experience (I used to have two boiled eggs every morning): 1. older the egg, the easier to peel. 2. adding baking soda to the water makes peeling much easier. 3. crack the egg then soaking it in cold water to cool it down before peeling also works (I usually do this in conjunction with the baking soda).
