Good blog tim. The more sugar and salt you have, the more you crave. Watch processed, white breads, carbs and starches in this home. It’s amazing how much more energy you have when cutting out the crap.

So true about the sugary snacks, tim. I was really craving ice cream last night to the point I almost went out and bought some. Will power won out over the craving, and I have to say, that today, I am glad I didn’t give in. 

 

Today, I have had no cravings and am making healthy choices. Does wonders for the psyche let me tell you.

 

I know not everyone listens, hears, and adheres to good advice, but I listen to you tim. I know you’ve studied and researched the things you talk about, so there’s never a need to take your advice with “a grain of salt” as the saying goes. What you impart to those who will listen is backed with fact and topped with a good dose of your heart.

 

So, thank you for doing the heavy lifting, and sharing what you’ve learned. 

 

 

i've made this.. it's pretty nice.... just do not buy greek yogurt with added vanilla.. plain plain plain!!   https://amyshealthybaking.com/blog/2016/07/28/25-minute-healthy-chocolate-ice-cream/

i'm no expert ... i only know what i see and learn myself.   the link i put in the blog is interesting.  The doctor says there are no essential carbohydrates .. and recommends eating none of them .. no fruit, no wheat or grains, no carrots, peas, corn, tomatoes, potatoes, rice or pasta.  I didnt want to see that. But if you read it, it actually makes sense. And with the latest news about eating well and not eating junk and processed foods to be the way to go... better late than never.  

i'm glad you're doing well... xo

I understand you're not an expert, but having a vested interst - your husband’s health and wellbeing - in finding sound information on this subject, I believe you’ve done your due diligence to weed out the bad info. You haven’t been spouting nonsense as far as I can tell. 

Thanks Reader .. you're right and if i'm not sure i wont say it.  i hope you try the ice cream recipe.. 2% milk and greek yogurt and stevia ... you need xantham gum but you dont need much..  we've had the chocolate and the vanilla.. 

I wish all of you good health. There is diabetes in mum's family. During her nursing career she worked with many diabetics on proper diet and still focuses on good eating habits.

I gave up soda, and some stress made me go back to it the other day, now I'm having to start the process all over again and IT SUCKS. I admire people who can eat healthy. It's hard.

Michael, my husband, had been complaining about his feet for number of month before being diagnosed with diabetes. They were painful and numb. Proof already that his blood sugar had caused nerve damage. Please dont give up trying to change your eating habits. Giving up the junk will make a difference, it is hard, but it does get easier.  And is the best thing you can do for your self. 

wonderful blog entry! tim, you may not be an "expert" but having dealt with so called diabetic experts for over 35 years now, i have found better information from other diabetics and their journeys in dealing with this insidious monster then any expert. i spent 20 years floating down a river of denial about being diagnosed. if i can change my eating habits (the worst was my addiction to coke-pop. 24+cans a day) than there is hope for others. it was hard. it took more than 6 months of not drinking for the craving to be gone. each must find what works best for them, but to be able to talk and share the roads is very helpful.

thank you for sharing things with us.

Michael said to me he finds it rather sad that it's much easier to find help and products if you've jumped on the gluten free bandwagon than if you're diabetic. And he's right. We went out for dinner around Valentine's Day and while we found stuff to eat, you have to be sooo careful in restaurants. I said, we should open a restaurant that caters to diabetics...good food you can eat without walking through a minefield to get to it. 

Glad you found your way.

This blog is really helpful for anyone with a concern over diabetes, blood sugar and healthy eating. I’m grateful for it. And as for the restaurant idea, you may definitely be onto something there...

vegetables,  other than carrots, peas, corn, tomatoes, potatoes   if you look at the link, he provides a no no list and there is a chapter called.. so what can we eat?   When i read the chapters online I knew what was coming and honestly i did not want to hear it .. but if you read the science.. it makes sense.
