[quote=Anonymous]OMG I remember that.... it *sucked*

This was my general plan. (I also carried around cheese sticks just in case I was consumed by hunger. Its been 7 yrs & I have yet to eat another cheese stick....)

Breakfast: 2 eggs Scrambled with cheese, 1 slice Low carb high fiber bread (got it at target), coffee with a tiny bit of heavy cream

Mid morning snack: vanilla Greek yogurt (not non-fat) Mixed with 1/2 of a bigger sized carton of strawberries

Lunch: peanut butter sandwich (low carb high fiber bread), a baby bell cheese, hard boiled egg on spinach salad with oil/vinegar

Pm snack: Bag of almonds, 7 baby carrots & a whole sliced up English cucumber, cheese stick (not low fat!)

Dinner was often one of these options:
- taco salad (chicken breast cut up & cooked with taco seasoning, 2 crushed up hard tacos, lettuce, cheese, salsa, little bit of sour cream)

-cut up chicken breast mixed with diabetes-friendly pasta bow ties (from Amazon), pesto & walnuts

-chicken breast with broccoli & a baked sweet potato

- Some coarse grain that my Russian friend (who had also had GD) brought me (it was like kasha or bulgur - not sure what because box was in Russian, but low glycemic index) cooked in chicken broth. Threw in cut up chicken breast & part of a bag of mixed frozen vegetables & mixed it together

- if we went out to eat then I would also have a burger & just take a bit or two of the bun.

Before bed snack: bag of almonds & 1/2 of a supermarket-brand ice cream sandwich

The key, for me, seemed to be getting a mix of fat, carbs and fiber in every meal/snack. If one of those elements was missing then my blood sugar wasn’t as stable.[/quote]
