Hey everyone!   I know this might sound stupid, but what should I eat?  How many times a day?  I know mostly protein, but how much would a typical serviing be?  I am diabetic.. So should I follow the gb diet or a more diabetic diet?  Just trying to get some ideas here!

Hi Jessica,
It helps my sugar levels if I eat 6 times a day.  Protein, veggies and 1/2 of fruit a day.  I eat about 3-4 oz. of meat at least 3 times a day and other types of protein for my snacks. I've been doing good with that.

Hey!  Thanks for your reply.  I think that would work good for me.  My concern is that if I don't get enough to eat at my meals that I will binge, which is typical for me.  Or if my blood sugar drops then I just get so starved and eat whatever I can get my hands on to raise it the quickest.

It all depends on what your goals are?  Being diabetic you just need to be sure you are doing your carb counting right.  I think a healthy well rounded diet is just that.  I know that I am now trying to round my diet out better and not be so obsessed.  Easier said than done.  But a good 1200-1500 cal diet is what we should all strive for.

Hi Jessica,

I am not going to be much of a help as I struggle with this myself!  But, I wanted to tell you your dog is adorable!!!
