Nutrition Effects on Diabetes

What a night tonight! We seldom eat red meat in my quest to win the cholesterol game. I have to say, I was hungry for a good steak and knew my husband would really appreciate one too! I skipped the baked potato but made stuffed zucchini for the vegetable. YUM! Has zucchini, bread stuffing, cheese, onions, butter and spinach. Not all bad nutrition, right? Had a cocktail before dinner as well…bad move but will be extra good tomorrow. Walked 30 minutes.

Most people have trouble eating the amount of vegetables needed daily to be healthy. I know I do. I like vegetables but it’s hard to get those servings in consistantly. I’ve been drinking a lot more super greens that I believe are helping my glucose numbers stay under control. Super greens are grasses such as wheat grass, barley grass and kamut grass along with kale, brocolli and other “greens” that provide chlorophyl to our bodies.  I’m not a scientist but from what I’ve read, I’d be hard pressed to find a better source to supplement my diet than super greens. I mix the powder with distilled water, add some ph drops to boost my alkalinity and sip at the drink all day. Now if I could just leave the diet Rockstar alone, I might show more progress! One step at a time…
