I understand how you guys all feel.  When I first starting changing my lifestyle (and not by choice I might add) I was distraught with all of the things that I couldn’t have anymore.  I love bread!  I love pasta!  It’s not like I never have them, but I definitely incorporate low carb eating into my weekly lifestyle.  But in order to get into camera ready shape in a short amount of time, I decided to explore the wide world of low carb recipes and experimented, coming up with a great collection of delicious low carb recipes that make you more than satisfied while you drop that weight fast. 

Here is one that I love, and it’s actually a tasty vintage recipe from the 1960’s.  Hold on to your hats!

Avocados with Prawns Recipe

INGREDIENTS

3 Ripe Avocados 1 1/2 oz (45g) Small Cooked & Peeled Prawns or White Crab Meat Lemon Juice Salt & Pepper For the sauce: 1 tsp Lemon Juice 2 tbsp Olive Oil 1/4 tsp Dijon Mustard Pinch of Salt Pinch of Pepper

3 tbsp Red Tomato Chutney 1 tsp Tabasco Sauce

METHOD

Halve the Avocados and place on six individual serving plates. Squeeze a dash of Lemon Juice over each one and sprinkle with freshly grounded Salt & Pepper. Set aside.

For the sauce: Put the Lemon Juice, Dijon Mustard and Salt into a bowl and beat together until the Salt has dissolved. Slowly pour in the Olive Oil, continually beating. Add the Pepper. Add the Red Tomato Chutney. Add the Tabasco Sauce. Beat a little more until thoroughly mixed.

To this mixture now add the Prawns or Crab. Combine well. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Spoon a serving of this mixture into each Avocado.

Now there are two ways to eat this.  You can eat this as an appetizer, which would serve 6 or you can serve three with two avocado halves each and a side salad.  Delicious!

A rule of thumb as well when you are creating your own dishes is stick to white meat, fish, shellfish and tofu as your main source of protein.  There are many recipes in both “The $100 Diet – How Naughty Pin Up Girls Stay THIN” as well as the new cookbook release entitled “The $100 Diet Presents The Official Come and Get It Recipe Book”.  You will be amazed at how much fun low carb eating can be, as well as how it makes you feel.  I also feel it is quite beneficial in the summer time, when heavier and saltier eating tends to make you feel the bloat in the heat.    Instead, try the low carb recipes I have created and have yourself feeling lighter and bouncier than ever.  Avoid that over-stuffed summer fatigue and get to feeling foxy!

Diabetes sufferers must take extra special care to ensure that their eating plan is very balanced. You have to consider insulin, medications as well as exercise as a means to control your blood glucose levels. In addition to these, your food intake is going to greatly determine your overall health and how well you can manage your diabetes.

Do I Have to Give Up My Favorite Foods?

A diabetic meal plan is not like a diet. It is more of a way to easily manage and reference what you can eat and what you should be eating to manage your condition. You can eat much of the same foods as everyone else, as long as you watch your blood glucose, cholesterol and blood pressure levels.

In a nutshell, with common sense you can have a healthy eating plan that does not compromise on taste and variety. In fact, your menu plan should include a very wide variety of foods, rather than the same things over and over.

This results in you getting enough from each food group, but also has the effect of you not becoming bored with the same old foods.

So what can you include to cover both variety and health? Plenty of vegetables of course, plus some fruits (watch the sugar levels in some fruit), whole grain carbohydrates, low or no fat dairy, fish, beans, lentils and other very healthy choices.

Some popular guides to follow for diabetes meal planning are:

Food Guide Pyramid Carbohydrate Counting Rating your Plate Exchanges Lists

Ideally you will include a combination of each of the principals of each of these plans, so you can formulate the perfect one for you.

Jamison Bentley asked:


Those who are find themselves experiencing diabetic and prediabetic symptoms now have available free diabetic diet meal plans. If your diet is not controlled, diabetes can become a life threatening disease as soon as a matter of months. When there are free diabetic plans being released for all those who have diabetes, there is no reason you can not gain control of the disease.

Practically every weight-loss program is based upon diabetic diet lists.

Medication available for diabetes today aids in maintaining insulin levels. All the medication available, however, pales in comparison to the effectiveness of a properly planned meal plan. The medical community needs patients to be more dependent upon them, so they are willing to put your health at risk to hide the importance of a properly planned diet. Take control of your diabetes with the proper proportion of carbohydrates, protein and fat. If you are overweight, limit your caloric intake. There are diets available that have 1200 – 1500 and even 1800 calories so you can receive the nutrients that your body requires and you will not be hungry.

In order to control diabetic symptoms – current diabetic meal plans must be correctly and professionally prepared. There have been several clients, whom after following the strict diet plan with exercise, came off most of their medications and lost a significant amount of body fat.

If you’re experiencing these symptoms of diabetes, do yourself a favor and conquer this disease by getting information on these free diet plans.

Only with diet, not medication, can fully prevent and reverse the onset of diabetes type II.
