Just to bump this one up...
My weight has apparently stabilized between 152-155. Depending on the mood of my old analog scales, though...
In some advice for those interested, my daily menu:
Breakfast - 8AM :
1-8 oz. cup of soy milk
1 slice of sugar free bread, toasted
1 egg
2-3 smokey links or bacon, leaner variety
1 cup mixed fruit - fake whipped cream optional
-OR- 1 tabelspoon sugar free jelly on the toast.
1 cup of reduced caffeine coffee
20 oz. water
1 aspirin, low dose. 1-B-12 complex pill. 1 calcium tablet.
Lunch 1-2PM:
2 slices of low-carb/sugar free bread with 1 teaspoon lite Miracle whip or mustard. 2 slices of meat, 1 slice of cheese. A bowl of small salad with vinegar/oil dressing. 40 oz. water.
1 little cup of Jell-O sugar free pudding.
5 oz. of dry red wine.
1 hour later - dessert - 2 sugar free cookies and a Diet Pepsi.
Dinner - 7-8PM - varies.
1 meat dish of some kind, or fish - vary this. Lean meat isn't really a factor in blood glucose control and you need the protein.
1 vegetable dish - no potatoes. Sweet potatoes are OK.
FRESH VEGETABLES - canned ones are loaded in salt and sugar.
1 large salad
1 cup of Dreamfields pasta in home made sauce and 1/2 the meat.
40 oz. water
10 oz. dry red wine
Eat until you're full. Don't force it. Don't skip meals.
Snacks at the midpoints of meals - varies. You'll have to test this stuff. Carb intake limited to 20-25/meal.
ADA and Bayer seem to recommend 189 grams carbs/day?
That's too much, IMHO.
