I hear ya about the diet thing... but I need to do something a bit more regimented than "just eat protein first" etc... I guess it is the military in me... or it's a guy thing... but I need a regimen, a list, something that says "Morning, eat this" and "Snacks, eat this, and only this" and for some unknown reason it is easier for me. Left to my own counsel, I screw things up but good!
Hey Marc,
Since I am diabetic, I have been following a program similar to that which came out of time spent with my nutritionist and testing my blood sugar. I am not insulin dependent (tho I was when I was pregnant with my son) but I am on oral meds. My A1C runs around 7, but I would like to get it lower. I am also pre-op for two more weeks. This is a great way to eat some of everything, without totally eliminating entire food groups from your diet. Obviously, white starches raise your blood sugar, but things like whole wheat and whole foods are not as bad. My nutritionist gave me a trick to it...if you eat a carb, have a protein with it. It helps slow down the glycemic reaction. Good luck! I think you will feel much better eating this way. I know that I do. And my blood sugars are way more in control, which is proof to me that it works.
