[quote=Anonymous]Breakfast: 
-oatmeal made with milk and a tbsp or two of peanut butter stirred in (see how you do with this; it can spike some people's blood sugar)
-2 or 3 egg omelet with cheese plus a Wasa cracker with about a tsp of orange marmalade (wasa crackers are low carb and give you an approximation of eating toast, esp with the marmalade) - the fat and protein in the egg yolk and cheese help you have stable blood sugar (many diabetics are sensitive to carbs in the morning)
-tofu scramble with zucchini and onion (diced) and wasa cracker

Lunch: lentil wraps with low carb corn tortillas (small). Sautee cooked lentil with onion, tomatoes and garlic. The lentil may be too high in carb for some. it can help to add some cheese because it adds protein and fat to slow absorption of the carbs
-pasta - you can still have this if you use a ton of veggies and kidney beans in place of half the pasta portion. 
-quinoa - a nice substitute for rice and can cook it tons of ways
- open faced burgers - you may have to skip the bun or just use the bottom half. Do the same thing with sandwiches -- I assume you eat fish/poultry, so make that the main part of your sandwich with some condiments. ketchup can be high in sugar so watch out.

I am vegetarian but if you eat meat you may like eating Paleo style (tons of recipes online)

If you really crave one of your old favorites (eg cake or doughnuts), try eating a small portion of it.

Good luck!
