And ibs wins again. :(

Sad to say I had to give up the cabbage soup diet due to a bout of irritable bowel syndrome. So I decided then to go back to the South Beach Diet, which is tried and true and good for diabetics. All went well with that until the pistachios decided to do a tap dance on the above said bowels. What have I ever done to pistachios that they would hate me so?

So I am doing what I did before and did lose weight. Please don't tell any of my SBD friends. lol

Oh, what am I doing? I have a small bag of crisps, salt and vinegar as a snack. It's 25 grams,131 calories,the carbs are only 12.5 grams but with the fiber of 1.0g, it lowers the carbs to 11.5. The fat content is 8.3 grams. More importantly it satisfies a mouth hunger and a tummy rumble.




For my main meal I have something vegetarian, natch, around 1:30pm, so you can say I just have 1 meal a day. I might snack with the crisps or have an avocado, or something that might have take my fancy in a supermarket. It works for me. Before the diabetes decided to reside in me I would only have 1 meal a day, so this way of eating makes me happy.
