Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Yuppers, but I think it is the fat gene rather that gets my family. I have two brothers, they keep their weight under control and they have no signs of diabetes (well I take that back, big brother had one high blood sugar. His wife put him on a sugar restricted diet and he is fine now). I think that if I get the weight in control I can control the diabetes by diet only.

Luv ya Veggie burgers-OT In a effort to get my family to eat better, I slipped some veggie burgers on the grill tonight. They tasted pretty good, I couldn't tell the difference. But the girls could. They were what is this ?(I think they could tell it wasn't real meat, because of the consistency). Dang! Although, I have taken to buying the no sugar added or sugar free ice cream and that has made a hit in the family. They like it better!! As well as the sugar free cookies!! Did you know that you can use apple juice as a sugar replacement in cake,bread and muffin recipes?? I didn't know that? I always considered apple juice as not being sweet enough to satisfy my sugar craving family. I am trying to cut all white sugar out of my families diets. And provide a healthier alternative to it. Just decided since I am the main cook in this house, and I buy all the groceries I am going to provide a better diet for the family. Even got hubbie on the ball. Tonight I sent him to the store to get me some whole grain hamburger buns, He came home with some baked lowfat , low sodium chips to go with the burgers. He has learned to read labels. What a accomplishment!!! Course his dad died of heart disease and cancer, so he a little worried about his diet to some extent. Truth be known I don't think he wants me to out live him. LOL I am just trying to keep the girls out of my diet drinks, they like mine better than their drinks. Dang it. Love JanetTake the ordinary things of life, and make them your own.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I was told to avoid too many mushrooms as they build up copper in your system.
