Dealing with Diabetes2 and remembering Goldi Community Group
A support group for individuals with Type2 diabetes. Encouragement, empathy, advice, and personal experiences from members dealing with the illness. A friendly environment with compassion and support as our main objective.
All kind of edible nuts, I love them particularly peanuts, which are ok for diabetics, if you are aware of the Calorie content.
I need to loose about 20 pounds and although I was generally aware of what is considered a good diet some foods just should not be allowed.
It is so easy nowdays to go into a fast food reasurant and eat a days calories in one sitting without ordering extra'a
I would say that even the average person now activly has to make a consious effort to restrict calories
My favourite snack was 1/2 lb of peanuts in shells and a milk shake.
quiite healthy I thought , but It can pile on the extra pounds very quickly
I have been on a diabetic info lesson and if you see the food you acually need in a day to maintain weight laid out .It is very little. obiously depending what it is.
Chicken is great, until you start adding all those special sauces and deep fried recipies.
I have been having boiled eggs, cottage cheese, and salad and have lost 7lb in 2 weeks But who can keep such a bloody tastless boring diet up for long!
Must say though Just loosing 7lb make me feel better less bloated and I can fit into all the clothes I has abandoned
Writing this has me thinking of a nice big juicy steak with french fries mushrooms, onion's, peas just a hint of garlic, some french mustard a side salad with dressing and a nice Apple pie and cream for desset
Any one give permission?
Regards

I thought it was almonds that were good for you and the least fat. I don't like almonds except in hershey bars. (the good ole days)
I have put weight on also the last few months. I think most of it over eating (stress) and being in this wheel chair. I stopped going to the pool to work out so little by little I started noticing my dam clothes were shrinking. Pretty soon even my baggy stuff was too tight.
So I have started being more aware of what I am supposed to do instead of telling everyone what they should do. LOL
I love cottage cheese lost and the eggs and salads but your right it gets old. But your doing great on the weight thingy. Yea!!!! So you better not eat the pie, just the steak and salad....
God Bless
Yaah, I love my nuts too. Pecans, walnuts, almonds, you name it. I eat quite a bit of them because of the protein and good fat factor and in spite of the calories.
If I have to eat nothing but boiled chicken for protein, you can go ahead and just shoot me now. Yucccckkk with a capital Y. I've got to have my George Foreman grill and a little garlic, salt and pepper at least.
I do love my raw veggies though and I don't even need the blue cheese for 'em. What kills me is the effect watermelon has. Darn. I love the stuff and it's like a super-sonic shock to the blood sugar.
Although I will eat some eggs, I don't worry too much about the cholesterol thing because I hardly ever eat the egg yolks. Can't stand 'em. Over easy eggs make me nauseous. Ick, ick and ick. I eat the whites. I like them hard boiled. My dog gets the yolks which he loves and I enjoy the whites. Perfect partnership.

I used to eat a lot but i can barely eat a whole meal(i feed most to the birds and dog LOL) anymore why I never lose weight is beyond me.
Oh and we have some strange burgers here where I live in TX. There's one place here in our town that offers a burger that supposedly originated in Australia that includes beets and portabella mushrooms on it. I think it comes in around the 1,500 calorie mark. Good grief.
At the moment I have a roast beef in the oven that is smelling absolutely wonderful. If it tastes as good as it smells when it's done, oh boy. Don't worry though, it's only one-half cup of the mashed baby red potatoes and lots of salad to go with it for me. No gravy either. I'm just not that much of a gravy fan anyway, so it's not a big sacrifice.
