Simply delicious

Awesome meals

Being a Diabetic doesn't mean we can't eat this, and we can't eat that. We just have to be aware of our proportions, and be able to limit the amount of unhealthy foods we put into our bodies. Think of it this way, you're eating much healthier now, and probably better than people without this disease. I even have friends and family that have completely changed their diets because they like what I eat. Feel free to share with people close to you about making better decisions with foods!

Here I want to show you examples of delicious meals, snack and treats you can make, and feel good about eating it.

Tasty...

What is it? Baked chicken with a sweet and spicy bbq sauce, spinach, and I tried something new! They are called Pierogi. I thought of it as an Italian version of empenadas ;).

They were stuffed with potato and cheddar cheese(have you already noticed how much I love cheese? I'm a mouse...)

Any who, down to the carbohydrate counting for this meal would be no more than........................................drum roll please!

 50 carbs!
Awesome.

NEXT

we have: a sandwhich, cherries,
green grapes, sugar free jello, and muenster cheese.

I used whole grain bread, and a few slices of lunch meat that consists of turkey, and ham(2 slices total to be exact). I used light mayo and a slice of Swiss cheese. To add extra carbohydrates into this scrumptious lunch, I have cherries, 8 of them, and 8 grapes to fulfill my carbohydrate to insulin ratio. All that with some blocks of cheese, and the carbs come out to around 50 carbs more or less!

Amazing!

<---This should be your best friend. 

You can literally eat jello all day, and it would do absolutely nothing to your sugar levels. But that's not advice to go and do so! However, I always have jello as dessert, it's delicious and they make different flavors for all of you gelatin lovers to enjoy! Also, they are always super cheap, they don't even have to be on sale. So, that's a great plus for your budget!

Another snack!

Low carbohydrates are the key to our snacks. We need something we can snack on without having to inject ourselves with insulin. Here you have 5 small slices of salami, 2 cherry tomatoes and a few blocks of cheese. The only carbohydrate thing in this plate are the grapes! so enjoy one serving of grapes freely :)

Hello cucumbers!

What you see here: 
8 cucumber slices for a great source of vegetable and water supply :), yellow rice(Your carb) and cooked carrots (great for the eyes). Protein: Steamed fish
Dessert: Grapes

I try to keep my carbohydrate count around the same amount so that I keep my units of insulin at a pretty normal balance all the time.

Total carbohydrates=around 50 carbs

Woohoo!

Now that you've seen some of what I eat on a regular basis, hopefully it will give you drive to expand your stomach and branch out to try new foods. Don't limit your dishes! Let's make this experience a fun one together and share what you eat on a regular basis!

Take care everyone, and feel free to comment with your opinions and shares.
