A book that I think is one of the best for diabetic eating and way of life (this will be good for you too) is

Atkins Diabetes Revolution: Control Your Carbs to Prevent and Manage Type 2 Diabetes (Based on the Medical Practice of Dr. Robert C. Atkins) [Paperback]

You can get it on amazon for pennies.

I followed revised Atkins diet about nine years ago, lost weight  and never felt better , and lost my taste for sweet food, contrary to popular belief he did not advocate not eating fruit or vegetables.

I fell by the wayside when OH moved in to live with me, he has a very sweet tooth and loves carbs, though will never touch white bread. I put the weight back on

I have all his books and the one on vitamins, minerals and other supplements is one of the best ever written I think.

Recently there has been a reversed thinking on saturated fats by the medical profession and I often think about Dr Atkins.

Here is Dr Atkins other book I mentioned it may not be of use to you kerrie but I though others might have an interest.

Dr. Atkins' Vita-nutrient Solution: Your Complete Guide to Natural Health: Nature's Answer to Drugs

Emma may change the link as I have forgotten how to do it recommending books on amazon.

Kerrie - have you looked at the recipes on the Diabetes UK site?

Chicken, fish, lean meat and vegetables. Grill don't fry. Don't use butter. Cook with rapeseed oil or olive oil. Fruit, he can eat a little dried fruit. Nuts in moderation.
Low fat crisps on occasions.
Proper high cocoa solids chocolate but just a couple of squares.
If that does not work then eat what you normally eat only less. Smaller plates may help with this.

If he does not like brown bread then try the 50/50 loaf to start with.


I am sure you will get there.

Good advice HB.

I found going back on the sweet stuff and carbs that my cholesterol went from 4.3 to 5.7, I was really upset about that.

Nothing - We had lunch out   
That was:
Smoked Haddock and Poached egg
Poached chicken with a smoked bacon something
Buttermilk Pannecote
Probably won't eat for quite a long time now, some time tomorrow perhaps?

You can do a sauce with fish to liven it up a bit. The one with the mediterranean vegetables that SL makes would be nice, or even a parsley sauce.
Just because you are going for the healthy options does not mean it has to be taste free.
I like tuna steaks with a tomato, onion capers and black olives sauce. It's really easy and so tasty. Fresh tuna is a bit taste free but very good for you.

My youngest son is home of the weekend from university and is cooking us Mexican tacos with guacamole (home made), salad and stuff.  He really wants to show off his new skills!! Looking forward to it! We rarely have puds....just fresh fruit.
