Guest guest Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 , Hey, that's a great menu you set out there. Everything's doable for me except the onions!

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Pickles are free pretty much. Assuming you eat like 1 or 2 at a time and not 10 LOL.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Hmmm, , We usually eat some sort of meat, with maybe half a potatoe or a small amount of rice and lots and lots of veggies! I will usually eat veggies and a salad at a meal, so carbs aren't soimportant because I am full with veggies. If we order Chines, I get steamed veggies with tofu and we keep some low sodim soy sauce around to add more flavor-sesame oil is good tood too.My husband is the carb freak here. He is only 5 foot 5 and weighted 190 pounds! He finally decided to cut down on carbs and has lost 20 pounds in the last 6 months and agrees he feels better. There is alot of type 2 diabetes in his family, so I am trying to get him to loose a few more pounds with low carbs. he is a M & M lover, so cutting down on the intake of those has helped him a lot!

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Hey, Harry You're new at this insulin stuff! Re: meals you can eat Thanks and ! I think you are right. Eating just a salad and being sure to carry insulin with you are excellent ideas, and it should have been as plain as the nose on my face, but I didn't think of it before hand.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 I thinm and hush puppies don't. Re: meals you can eat Oh so hushpuppies are kinda like corn fritters then. I don't know if there's a difference but I'd bet the carbs are about the same. And then adding the cole slaw on top of that, that's loaded with carbs too! No wonder the sugar was way up there.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Good question, Bill. I think Americans started eating large mid day meals (whatever you want to call it`) because so many were farmers and needed all the calories to wok on the farm. As things changed and we became more sedentary jobs will short lunch breaks, it got switched around Un like the Europeans, we don't have that wonderful 2 hour lunch where you can nap after eating a big lunch! Re: meals you can eat Actually, the idea of eating the bigger meal around noontime is more logical but most of us grew up on the idea that you had breakfast (low logical, break the fast, eh?), then lunch to kind of get us through part of the work or school day and then the big meal at dinner time. Problem with that is we eat the most when afterwards we're the least likely to work it off. Hey, in Europe the big meal of the day IS lunch and they do take their time to eat it rather than half an hour to gulp it down, then they rest afterwards. What a novel concept. Dinner is a much smaller meal as it should be. How did we ever get messed up? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 heck or eat a small lunch and nap for 1.5 hours!! that would be great! regards, Re: meals you can eat > > > Actually, the idea of eating the bigger meal around noontime is more logical > but most of us grew up on the idea that you had breakfast (low logical, > break the fast, eh?), then lunch to kind of get us through part of the work > or school day and then the big meal at dinner time.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 It does not always contain sugar, in fact where I was in the south there never was any sugar added and I don't like it that way, with the sugar I mean. In fact, I never had corn bread that was sweet until I came out here.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Years ago I went to Captain D's regularly because I could get baked fish, green beans and small salad. I haven't been there in a while so don't know if they have stopped this or not. It might depend on the individual restaurant. The place with the pirate also used to have baked fish but cut that out a long time ago. Dean What is the meaning of life?
