Learning To Eat Better
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

What are some good recipes out there? What’s safe to eat as a snack? I need to reinvest in myself at 65. I’ve always been a picky eater when it comes to what’s healthy, but I need a change. I like food to taste good. I do wish there were diabetic support groups in my area.

If you are looking for ideas, what, how much etc then you may want to take a look on the Atkin's website - www.atkins.com

On the first drop down "how it works" you can click on the "atkins 100" and have a read and look at their charts.

Atkins is not specific to diabetes but rather they advocate for weight loss through low carb eating. The Atkins 100 (diet) is so called because it designs a 100 carb a day diet, where you select foods from their various charts and "plug them in" to their program guide.

100 carb a day diet is "ideal" for excellent blood sugar control.

I used this as the basis of my diet and it has worked well for me for coming on 6 years now. While my diet is slightly more liberal (allow a maximum of 130 carbs a day), having someone figure broad groups of what I should be eating then providing lists of the portion sizes that would achieve that made any customization to suit "my tastes and preferences" super easy.

The (program) is free - it's a great resource if you are looking for "somewhere to start" - so worth taking a few minutes to check it out and see if it might work for you.

I like Hilo snacks from amazon. They only have 5 carbs per bag.
