When I started eliminating foods from my diet, I dreaded grocery shopping. Everywhere I looked were my favorite foods that I could not eat, anymore (bread, fruits, vegetables, cookies, sausage, hot dogs, yogurt, ice cream, cheese, etc.) I felt an empty sadness as I picked up my ground beef and green beans.
Now, I get excited when I think about the new things I can try. Unsweetened, vanilla almond milk warmed up with a hint of coco and stevia is a great alternative to hot chocolate (just the milk warmed up is yummy). Pop cakes (4 carbs and no sugars!) with some natural, lightly salted almond butter is a yummy snack, especially with an almond milk chaser. Black bean and rice chips do not raise your glycemic level like corn tortilla chips. You don’t want to eat too many, though; they are beans, after all. Every day I find some new food delight to try. I feel like a wonderful, new world of food is opening up, and the food is real and good for me!
