[QUOTE="miahara, post: 1327802, member: 256148"] Dave, beans are not 'that bad' but need to be part of a balanced diet and although they do take longer to break down and add useful fibre they are not all that significant in regards to dietary balance. The 'reduced sugars' versions which I use are still fairly high in carbs, there's very little difference, but I reckon are ok if eaten in moderation. The low sugar versions do take a litle getting used to, but I suspect that part of the difference in taste is a lower salt content and this in itself is a good thing. We stopped adding salt when cooking a couple of years ago and now really dislike over-salted meals when we eat out. The pre-diabetic diet you described isn't a good one for anybody, diabetic or not. You really do need to expand on your green veg intake. This may take a while but is worth it for the sake of your health.Try Stir-fried veg, it's a totally different taste. Reduce your potatoes intake as they are high in carbs. It's great that you've already managed to cut out all those sweeties and reduced white bread. Doing this will already have started to help improve your blood sugars. Adapting to a diabetic diet can take a while, but is worth it.
