My wife is Type 2 and they tell me I am on my way. I have been cooking for her for probably 3 years now and have come up with some recipes that are tasty, low to no carb, no sugar, high in protein and not hard. You really don't have to give up flavor and good food. You just have to do your research. These recipes helped her cut her A1C by almost 3 points getting her down out of the diabetic range. Now of course none of this should supersede anything your doctor has said. But I thought some folks might find this useful.
And even if you're not diabetic these are good and healthy.
So I thought I'd start with any easy one I like to make in the crock pot. It's only a few ingredients and you just put it in and forget it.
Ingredients:
Boneless skinless chicken thighs
I use thighs because I prefer the way they cook but boneless skinless chicken breast are just fine.
A couple of big jars of salsa.
I use mild because my wife isn't great with super spicy.
I also add a can of diced tomatoes.
All goes in the crock pot and cooks for 8 hrs on low or 4 on high.
I then serve it either over riced cauliflower or a substitute type of pasta kind of depends on my moods. There are lots of pastas you can use that won't impact your sugar levels.
And there you go. That's super easy, I use about 2 lbs of chicken so there's always leftovers for lunches and it's really well liked by even people not worried about sugar or carbs.
If people would like more of these I'll do more. If you have your own recipes let's see them. Any recommendations for stuff to sub in to replace problem ingredients? Post away. A lot of people suffer from this the American public is doused in sugar daily. So hopefully this can be some help.
