I'm way too lazy to do all that work, lol! But I can be honest about what I've eaten.
Breakfast: Cheerios & skim milk, sm cappachino
Snack: Grapes
Lunch: Cauliflower soup, sugar free jello, small fat free yogurt, small banana-oat bar, diet soda
Snack: Large orange, coffee with skim milk
Dinner: Haven't had it yet, but it will probably be the usual, stir-fry chicken with lots veggies, pineapple, rice and some teriyaki sauce, followed by an evening snack, probably some popcorn or a sugar-free hot chocolate.

I guess "lame" is what we are stuck with having this Stupid disease!
I like the Cauliflower with Phili dip idea! Would be nice with Celery as well
Who said cream cheese was just ment for bagels
I like adding fruit to the whipped style and putting it on Keebler Club Cracker!
The sweetness from the fruit and that tiny bit of salty flavor goes real good together.

breakfast-small banana and coffee/milk and 10 cashews

lunch-turkey sandwich, blueberries and 1 non-fat vanilla yougurt (fruit mixed in bowl with yogurt)

dinner- haven't had yet........don't feel like cooking. Maybe just cereal and fruit and some cheese later?

boring

Are you a Kashi kinda girl? I tried it and I just could not get into it.. A bit to organic for me.. Give me a big bowl of Capt Crunch With Crunchberries!! DOH! Did I say that?
LOL
I need to try that Yogurt thing.. Something about "live Culture" kinda scares me.. like it is sour milk or spoiled.. I KNOW.. it's not and have seen the guy from the Food Channel actually make it in cheese cloth with skim milk.. not a very pretty process .. I think if I thought of it as Pudding I might like it.. But stuff like Yoplay that you drink.. ewwee I am not so sure about that stuff.
Dont you just love cashews? I used to stick them to Chocolate Frozen Bananas!! The sweet from the chocolate and the salty taste of the nutz is to die for!!

I don't eat cereal often........just lazy tonite. I usually cook every nite, lean meat, pasta or rice or potatoe and lots of veggies all kinds of dinners. As for lunch, I love my vanilla yougur and fresh fruit. I do sneak in some sour cream and onion chips once inwhile...........put them right in my sandwich!!! never ate chips much, ever, last 3 months or so, can't get enough!! And yes, love cashews, found one covered in cocoa.........ate too many yesterday, boy those will make ya regular!!

I know that Emerald Nuts have some pretty exotic flavors but have never tried the cocoa kind.. I tried the Wasabe not knowing really what wassabi was LOL and hated them!
I see rice, pasta and potatos.. lol and I am sure u just eat those in moderation right?.. I still have a problem with portion control with those 3! I love em' all!! And of course they make your bg go up wicked.. But anything in moderation is ok for you.. heheh I just dont know when to quit!
Like I said I need to give the yogurt thing a try with an open mind.I looked at the carbs on a little 5 oz container of columbo and it was 35 grams of carbs.. I guess if I could eat just that for lunch and if it filled me up, ok.. But I think I might need a bit more food to carb ratio for Lunch.What is weird though now that I am trying to watch my weight and lose pounds I use Orange juice kinda like a drug.. It lets my sugar stay up and I don't have to eat.. I know that might sound strange but am kinda wondering how many other people do this.. Like I will skip a snack entirely(never a meal) and just have 8 oz of OJ so I dont go low and less calories if I ate something.Maybe another discussion some time..
I work across the street from a major chocolate candy maker in Connecticut and since I was DX my boss bought me some Sugar Free chocolates knowing he was "helpin me" instead of the chocolate turtles he was passing out to everyone for Christmas.. I ate 3 at work since they were sugar free, what the hey! And 2 more on the way home.. By the time I got home my stomach was making some god awefull noises LMAO! Hey I didnt know about Maltose ...I was new to all this.. I tell ya what, that was as regular as I ever wanna be, HAHAHAHA

Plain yogurt, no sweeteners or flavors, even vanilla, is less than 10 carbs for a half cup. I mix in a few berries and some splenda. It's fine, tastes better than flavored yogurt I think.

Also...so-called diabetic (i.e. sugar-free) chocolates taste way worse than regular ones, plus they often actually have more carbs (which, contrary to popular old-fashioned opinion, are the problem for diabetics, not just sugar).

Thanks for the reply Ellie! Yes maybe adding my own fruit and not relying on a syrupy fruit on the bottom kind might be more satisfying.. Least I can chew the fruit as well.. Wonder how some cantelope chunks or some pomagranite seeds might taste mixed into plain Yogurt w/ splenda... I think after the first shock I might get used to it.. Thanks Ellie, I will try it!

Hey Craig,

That's my husbands name! Anyway the yogurt I eat is Yoplait light fat free vanilla, 20 grams carb and 110 cal. Try it sometime, put into bowl and add fresh fruit, like grapes,blueberries,apple,banana...it is good!!!! It fills me up with a sandwich too. I know that Dannon makes a yogurt called lite and fit? Less carbs. I dont eat plain yogurt I find it is gross.....only vanilla. And yes my potatoes,rice, pasta is a small amount but I find that i can cover them with my fast acting insulin as well as good foods!!! so i do eat pretty much what I want! And i have lost 26 lbs. since november. I don't eat sugar free candy, I eat the real thing when I want to, just take fast acting to cover carbs and sugar. Isn't all this fun!
