Nor is seaweed pressed into sheets. Nori is what's used for sushi.

To me the most valuable part of Dr. B's approach is the things you can't eat like grains, potatoes, fruit etc. A lot of his suggestions are more in the line of substitutes to replace things people are having trouble giving up.

I think the key is crafting a diet that you can stay with long term, which is affordable to you, and which allows you to meet your blood glucose goals. Different people can arrive at different diets that meet these goals.

I live in a rural area and there are not many exotic food choices available locally. Like Gerri almost everything I eat I can get locally. I fill in the rest on line.

The BEST foods are usually basics and locally produced. They are fresher and you can witness the production methods. So if it says "Organic" you can see for yourself.

Hana I do agree !
My youngest daughter holds to the ORGANIC ways in her meals and gardening. She is attempting to get her Certification In ORGANIC GARDENING so she can sell produce locally.

I have noticed every time I spend days with her my Bg is low the entire visit, and Insulin units are also enjoyably down. Problem is there are not Organic growers around my area. So I must buy Organic from Grocery chains at this time and that can prove just as bad as the regular produce in the stores. ( RECALLS )
Where is that happy medium I hear so much about.

I have only a small garden[yard], but it's surpising what you can grow in pots and planters to supplement shop bought stuff.I grew ; runnerbeans, tomatoes, courgettes[zucchini]and carrots this year.I also tried potatoes, but haven't lifted them yet. ALL in pots. My yellow tomatoes were partricularly successful. I'll try more stuff next yeat. It's fun and everything tastes so good.

We started a small organic garden this year, too, but we weren't as successful as we started late in the season. We have a Farmer's Market closeby where I can get almost organic food grown either hydroponically or without chemicals, but not certified organic. My dd lives within walking distance of Whole Foods, so if I can't find something organic at the local chain, I get get organic there. Even Target has been stocking Organic Food.
