I find it hard with the counting. There must be a way to cound.
I have stopped eating out. Most receipes have meats but there must be a cook book that also counts. I am 81 and to start this is
hard I do not need to be on a diet. I am very thing and have lost several pounds which I cannot lose any more.
Carbs and Keeping Weight Up
This suggestion is very similar to what I posted below to someone trying to gain/maintain weight:
Adding Healthy Fats to Your Food
to Improve Tastiness, Nourishment and Blood Sugar Control
You could try adding in healthy fats to your food. At breakfast, for example, you can add fats to hot cereal, Ezekiel bread toast and eggs.
Dairy fats and many meat fats are healthy, according to Weston Price. Price went back to studies that low-fat advocates quote, and by examining them with a researcher's critical eye, found that the studies did NOT support a low fat diet and that people following low-fat diet actually have higher rates of heart disease than those with high healthy-fat diets. Google "Weston Price" and read his analyses, and see what you think. Also experiment, see how your diabetic loved one responds, both in feeling good and in blood sugar levels. Each person is a bit different.
Other healthy fats are ghee (clarified butter, very good for the nervous system), coconut oil, grapeseed oil (which has almost no taste so you can add it to just about anything) and olive oil.
NOT vegetable oils.
And of course, minimize sugar. I find that adding these fats DECREASES my interest in sugar as well as making my food taste a whole lot better.
Best wishes!

Glocouse control
Whole (WHEAT, Hard red winter) is NOT REALLY GOOD FOR YOU
Old antique grain is MUCH BETTER. ie SPELT ANARATH & others are better. THEY don't turn into sugar like WHEAT ( Hard Red Winter)
