Recipe books

I use this one the most,
Diabetic Dream Food, The Diabetic Index Recipe Book: by Marco Black

It has detailed listings of the nutritional values and as well as being low carb, concentrates on anti-inflammatory ingredients. The bread substitute recipes are good.
 
Thank you;I will have a look. I have bought diabetic cook books and then found the carbs in most of the recipes are way too high but the "sugars" are low. The traffic light food labelling system does the same. Low sugars on the front and high carbs on the back.

It is so disappointing when you see something you really like and then discover that it is full of carbs when you take a look at the nutriton panel. I am finding though that there are some pretty good recipes out there for us low carb people - but it does mean cooking from scratch. It is really worth it though, as it is hard to eat the same things all the time and that's when resentment builds and you get ready to jump of the wagon....
 
So 1true especially when your other half is eating all the things you can't have and leaving biscuits and half eaten bars of chocolate on the coffee table!
 
Let myself down today. Good breakfast spinach with two baked eggs.

Then went to strong and steady exercise and had no nut bars, and had three sweet biscuits.

I could kick myself as I have done so well and all afternoon was looking for things to eat.So I have to start again tomorrow.
 
I ate 5 Celebration chocolates by mistake! They just fell in my mouth before I could stop them.
