In reply to: gardengirl posted an update in the group Diet & Nutrition Newbie here …. day 3. I’m feeling really hungry and craving sweets and caffeine, but have held strong. I’m hoping someone can help explain something to […] View3 meals plus two snacks is the ideal. But if you need more, you can have unlimited green, non-starchy vegetables.

In reply to: jrhs posted an update in the group Recipes While I am admittedly tweaking my advanced plan food allowances to include tiny amounts of chick peas to up my fiber load and keep it around 40 grams or more per day, I […] ViewI believe that yellow squash, or summer squash, would be allowed. It is not starchy like acorn squash or butternut squash. But I could be wrong.
Another great vegetable that I love and forgot to mention (well, it’s light green but nonetheless) is fennel. Try rubbing a little olive oil on cut up fennel and roasting it in the oven. It’s delicious.

Thanks Rubea for all your comments. I’m working with my Dr. on all this as it is my goal to reverse my diabetes and that needs to be my focus instead of weight loss in and of itself.

I would love to be eating yellow squash, but I thought it was off-limits in the advanced plan? I eat zucchini, so maybe I am wrong about the squash. ???

I have never tried fennel, but the Italians seem to love it, and they have pretty great food, so I will give it a try.

I had to do that on day 1 to wake up because I felt so sluggish and tired. I am planning on doing my walking workout in the am hours because the heat will soon make any other time of day unbearable. Aren’t we becoming the ”health nuts”?!

Thanks for the suggestions Rubea. I’m living on less than 600 calories a day so not much to trim. I don’t eat any fruits or beans or root vegetables. If anything – I think I may be too obsessed with my weight at this point and need to re-focus on my health and blood glucose readings.
