Avocados are low in carbohydrates, lettuce and tomatoes are good for you. Salsa is excellent and beans are good even though they have some carbohydrates. Refried beans are not as good for you as a bowl of beans with salsa and maybe a little crema or shredded cheese on top. Cilantro is very good if you like it. Rice generally unless its brown rice is not a good choice. Flour tortillas are really not very good for you but again its the amount of carbohydrates that your body can handle with the level of medication that you are taking that counts. Oh, and green chili stew usually has a lot of sugar for some reason. Green chili's are a very low carbohydrate food but green chili stew is not. Carne adobada , my personal favorite, also raises my blood sugar a lot. (Habla espanol?-there is no Spanish spell check on this site.) Roasted or boiled meats are usually better than carnitas but you have to know what has been added to them. Calabasitas (boiled summer squash with chili and meat broth ) is also  usually low in carbohydrates unless corn is added. Posole-I don't know-I eat it when I am sick and my blood sugar is usually high then anyway-you will have to look that one up.</p></blockquote><p></p>
