In the last year I have dropped close to 50lbs. Everyone has been asking what I have been doing to lose weight so I thought I would share one of my secrets. Changing the food we eat. I know SURPRISE right? This was challenging for me in the beginning though because the only things I knew how to cook that were fast were high in fat and high in carbs. Not a good combination for a diabetic.
For the past year we have been using a menu service which has been a life saver, a money saver, and a time saver. This menu service provides me with dinner menus for two people for 7 days, provides the recipe and a shopping list. The best part is most of the meals take less than 30 minutes to cook which works well with my work schedule since I don't get home until about 6 pm each night. Tonight's dinner was pork chops in a light sauce with roasted broccoli. It was great and took 20 minutes to cook. The net carbs for the whole meal was 10g including my glass of milk. So if you are stuck in a menu rut like I was, find a menu service that works for you and your budget.
Also, dinner was really the only meal I changed for us. Breakfast and lunch have stayed the same, whatever we can grab on the go usually but my glucose readings have significantly lowered as a result of changing that one meal to low carb.The menu service that we use just added a breakfast and lunch option to their plans so we may add those as well.
