8 Foods That Are Off-limits For Type 2 Diabetes

Foods That Don't Belong in Your Diabetes Diet One of the most essential steps to avoiding complications from type 2 diabetes is managing your diet, says William Sullivan, MD, a senior physician at Joslin Diabetes Center and an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. People with type 2 diabetes can control their blood sugar by eating foods that are low in sugar and carbohydrates. A healthy diet is even more important if you're overweight. "Weight loss has a dramatic effect on controlling diabetes," Dr. Sullivan says. He advises small portions and healthy foods — especially those low in sugar. So what shouldn't be on your plate? Avoid — or at least limit — these eight foods to help manage type 2 diabetes. Continue reading >>

Coconut Flour Gravy.

Coconut Flour Gravy.

THE key to successfully managing diabetes? A proper diabetes diet of course. Here’s mine, “A Meal Plan you can live with.” There are many other important factors, however you must control what you consume. coconut flour gravy is low carb the gravy tastes great coconut flour is easy to use! Fatty meats are what I mostly eat. Add eggs, leafy greens with occasional nuts and berries and that’s 905% of what I eat. However, I finally gave in to using Coconut Flour … for gravy. :) It was awesome! Click here for the post about the entire meal. I only plan on using the recipe on special occasions and I was ELATED when all turned out as planned. I’ve claimed to make ‘gravy’ before and technically I did, I would add meat broth, butter and cream together while boiling to reduce. But this was different, this was similar to gravies I was used to growing up. In MY OPINION … it’s EVEN easier than the traditional wheat flour version. The coconut flour does not clump together as easily… whisking and stirring periodically was all that was needed to make a delicious and thick gravy. Let’s get started. :) Steps to Coconut Flour Gravy 1) Cook the meat! Using a crock pot is perfect, there is plenty of excess broth. There are ways to obtain broth from the caramelized bottom of a skillet but we’ll assume you have several cups of ‘meat broth’. Below is the beef and broth I had from a recent Grok Pot (Crock Pot) cooking event. 2) I removed 4 cups of broth and poured into a small pot. Add to that 1/2 cup of heavy cream and I like to add some of the meat as well. See below. 3) I experimented but eventually I added 4 TBS of Coconut Flour to the mixture. I whisked the mixture while adding the Coconut Flour. One unexpected benefit? … Coconut Flour does NOT ‘clump’ o Continue reading >>

Classic Low Carb Pot Roast With Vegetables & Gravy

Classic Low Carb Pot Roast With Vegetables & Gravy

Home Classic Low Carb Pot Roast with Vegetables & Gravy Classic Low Carb Pot Roast with Vegetables & Gravy Hooray for cooler weather and my favorite time of year. This month I look forward to brisk after dinner walks with my family followed by cozy evenings spent in front of the fireplace (or t.v. lets be real). Its time for fuzzy sweaters and curling up with a good book (or iPhone) and the resident animal foot-warmer. Festive gatherings mark the season and provide us with a chance to shine by sharing our best recipes with family and friends. Whether its grandmothers recipe for cheese pie or a great comfort food favorite like pot roast, everyone has a star recipe. Pot roast is classic comfort food which delivers melt-in-your-mouth, fall-apart tender beef. But, let us not forget those savory cooked vegetables, in a broth so rich in body and flavor, that it will have you making excuses to sit at the table longer. And, pot roast is one of those fix-it-and-forget it meals thats super easy to prepare. Sure it takes a good 15-20 minutes to get everything ready to go, but after that, its hands-off until its done. Ive worked on this low carb beef pot roast recipe on and off for over a year. Its mouthwatering delicious and fairly easy to make. Ive prepared it both in the crockpot and in the oven and prefer this oven method simply because it concentrates the flavors and Ill take flavorful over fast and less flavorful any day. Luckily, this pot roast recipe is pretty easy and it does most of the cooking by itself. The recipe starts with a chuck roast. I like to use chuck roast for my pot roast because the meat is marbled throughout and there is a lot of connective tissue between the muscle. If its cooked long enough, all of the fat and connective tissues melt out providing a beau Continue reading >>
