Answer 5

Being a 49 yr old diabetic myself and former classically trained chef, the best advise I can give, not so much in recipes is as in monitor the carbs, fats and sugars the best way possible, I have tried to eliminate alot of processed food, anything to sugary and eat more veg and fruits, these have to fit the guideline of the diabetic diet, I am on a 1200 calorie reduced diet, and found that if you space your meals out, and eat the allowable snacks that your dietician helps you with it is great.

You will find alot of things like salads and certain fruits are free options, but bread, meat, fish and poultry have to be measured or reduced, I have found now that I have gotten off of whole milk and drink a mixture of powdered and fat free Carnation mixed I have reduce my body fat and weight by 25 pounds over time.

The best advise is to seek a dietician most likely at your local hsopital, and see how they can set you up with a plan to help you choose the proper foods to control your B.S. and make your lfe easier.

Good Luck and stay healthy.

Answer 6

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 7

LOW CARB BAKED EGGS IN CREAM

6 eggs
6 T cream
1 tsp salt

Break eggs into individual dishes or into a baking dish from which the eggs can be served.

Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pour cream over them.

If a large dish is used, a little more cream will be needed. The cream should cover the eggs.

Set the dish in hot water and place in a moderate oven.

Bake slowly until a desired degree of firmness is reached which will take about 10 minutes.

Answer 9

OOH!!

Egg whites and cottage cheese whisked together, baked with assorted veggies for about 25 minutes @ 350. Yum. The cottage cheese gives this amazing texture. You would never know it's not fattening and unhealthy.

Answer 10

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. And so as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.
