Cooking
Ugh, does anyone else hate cooking? I made a pot of soup today. Cooked up some hamburgers, because I had a pound of beef that needed to be cooked. They will be good for dinners. I will probably boil some eggs next, as I used up the last batch. All afternoon in the kitchen. But on the bright side, it will make the work-week…

Paleo Sweets cookbook
I was given a Paleo Sweets cookbook. A thoughtful gift, but I'm doing keto. Would anyone like this book? Send me a PM and I will mail it to you, unless you're in the southern tier of NY and I can just hand it to you.

Question about stress
I've been following a low-carb/keto way of eating for about 6 months. I am also tracking my food in MFP and trying to stay between 1400-1600 calories on non-exercise days.

I found an article discussing how the body releases glucose into the blood for energy, but apparently…

The Magic Pill movie
Did anyone else see this on Netflix? It was very interesting. I’m skeptical of documentaries because I feel they can skew information to make a certain point, if they want to. But the info in the flick lines up with the more research-y things I’ve been reading (about diabetes & LCHF), so that made the other parts, like…

Snacks for T2
I thought I'd ask what you folks eat for snacks that are low or no carb. I don't eat a lot of snacks, but occasionally have extra calories left in my day. I'm avoiding chips & crackers (I prefer salty snacks). I often have salted mixed nuts. Occasionally Moon Cheese (it's expensive though). I roam the aisles of the grocery…

Newbie Question
I was recently diagnosed with T2. My doctor recommended that I take a diabetes education class. She said that I'd learn to use a BG meter in the class and that I should record BG once a day. She wanted to see me again in 3 mo. I called to schedule the class. They offer morning, afternoon & evening. I chose evening because…
