Hi Positive Outlook

I think that's a very relevant question affecting many of us.

In many cases, the "ideal diet" elude many of us due to availability and cost. This means that the food choices are limited.

So, I simplified the problem by avoiding the greatest enemies, i.e. take aways, sodas,processed foods/high fat content meats and high sugar cakes/sweets. The rest I eat. But to make this feasible in terms of my diabetes condition, I have to keep physically busy. Otherwise, it will not work.

Hope you will find a great workable solution for you.

Wishing you a joyful day!

@A DiabetesTeam Member Knowing what I can and can't eat has gotten easier for me. I use a free app Fatsecret and every morning I plan and enter all of my meals/snacks for that day into the app. The app calculates and records my daily calories, carbs, etc.....otherwise I couldn't keep track of it myself. While it does take time, to do it all, at one "sitting"; it does prevent me from having to think about it all day long and also avoids unexpected "oops!"

Also, like @A DiabetesTeam Member, I have a few basic, low-carb breakfasts that I rely on, that take NO thought or planning. And I am also in the process of establishing a basic low-carb dinner that takes NO thought or planning. That leaves me with having to think about only one meal a day-my big meal that I eat mid-day. Good luck-this is just what has helped me.
