I am on a strict diet at present & only allowed non starchy vegetables, the three main things I cook are chinese stir fry easy & very quick, can cook rice or noodles to go with it for the rest of the family... Curried vegetables again quick & again add rice for rest of family, baked vegetables also good with some olive oil & some balsamic vinegar & just add a chicken portion or some other meat or fish for the rest of the family, all three can use mant different types of veggies so can change it around as much as you like to give it variety.
Lots of links from a german website, looking at pics I am drooling, use google translate or send me a PM and beg and plead :lol: and I will ask my sister to translate any recipes for you.
Hi caraway I am a veggie...t2 since nov last year...I cook for all....I have just used portion control or myself less bread....more fruit has helped me...I know we are all different... I use low fat or lighter cheese and diabetic chocolate.....I don't bake with sugar any more....I used to crave fizzy drinks for engery....now I have sugar free sometimes..... I use th same foods as before and without sugar I have got my sugars down from 19 to 6.5 which I am delighted with....and now have lost two and a half stone...it really has been what is right for me....must learn some new recipes though and find some new cakes to bake...I find my cakes go dry after a day or two with sweetener....but wouldn't touch sugar yet....but I'll do at some point and have a cake a a treat....thought I was a healthy veggie for over 50 years now....but this illness just creeps up on you....goodness must stop nice chatting with you kx
And I agree with the above poster, if you are low carb and diet controlled you need to be careful with fruit, it contains fructose which the body is converting into glucose,therefore giving you spikes, but you need to test, test and test again, you need to find out your levels, berries are best of all, they are lowest in carb.
