Hi there,
I am new to this forum and have been told by my doctor that I am pre diabetic. As with everybody else you can imagine how this frightened me. I had a heart attack 12 years ago and lived very healthy. Well the last two years I have been a little bit of a naughty lady and ate things that perhaps I should of cut back on. I am pretty clued up on food, what is good and what is bad, but it is always good to gain more knowledge. The question that I want to ask is. I was looking at the 30 day plan Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner menu. One particular menu was lamb cutlets and onions, peppers. The menu was for 6 people, which meant one lamb cutlet each with a few peppers and onions. I noticed that at the end of the cooking that there was not an option for extra added vegetables, this seems to be the case on a lot of recipes on the menus. Surely one lamb cutlet and a few onions and peppers will leave people hungry. 2 peppers between six people, and one onion. I would of thought adding broccoli and green beans would not spoil the diet. Or am I taking the menu to literally? Any advice?
