Keeping it simple, Summer salad.
Now that I have my glucose meter, I am interested in seeing how different foods affect me, then I can start a process of elimination for all the bad foods.
Of course I know to stay away from all "white" flour products and processed foods. Make substitutions for whole grains always, but I am more curious on the condiments.
Tonight my Summer salad was cucumber, tomato, spinach, carrot and a variety of lettuce. I also added a little fresh watermelon and a little bit of cheese. My favorite dressing in the world is Poppy Seed, and what I have on hand is not low sugar or any special dietetic formula, so I figured I would give it a try.
(No, my tomatoes aren't purple...my camera takes horrible indoor pictures....damn tungsten lighting)
I figured would use the Poppy Seed dressing, then check my levels after dinner and see how I did. I will be sure I update with my results in an hour or so.
The only thing I would have added to this salad is maybe some chicken breast, avocado and whole wheat crunchy croutons. Next time!
No, I am not becoming a connoisseur of rabbit food, I was really in the mood for a refreshing salad. I will still figure out a way to eat healthy Mexican food, Italian food, Thai food and all my favorites!
Dinner was delicious though, and I feel completely satisfied!
Baby steps. I will get there.

** Update ***
1.5 hour post meal my level read 105 which is low, and I feel like poop. :*( But it is late too. I will feel much better after my doctor's appointment next week. I have so much to learn!
