When we have green salads at home I don't like dressing on it. I only get dressing when we go out and eat salads at a dinner, but even then I think I am going to start asking for it on the sides and dipping to fork into the salad dressing and then taking a bite.
I started measuring my breakfast cereal, I'm eating cherio's for breakie everyday. and I don't drink real milk I drink unflavored soy. And I use a natural aguave sweatener that's a low glycemic index sweetener, and honestly it's so sweet a tiny bit goes a long way I don't even use the full teaspoon serving size sometimes. And what else is so nice about it, is it doesn't need the item in question you're putting it on to be warmed up or heated evens lightly it WILL blend in and mix in cold things.
I am actually thinking of trying it in my ice tea, next chance I get ice tea, instead of sweet and low.
The rest of the time I don't measure or weigh food. sometimes it's quite clear you're over eating and you don't care cause your ravished and it's the only thing you're going to have all day, and other times you're only eating a very small amount of food.
The nutritionist, said something about we're allowed like 30 carbs a meal or something I'll have to clarify when I see my doctor on Tuesday, but you do have to be very very aware, because seemingly innocent things like wheat bread have half a meals amount of carbs, and that;s not even counting the butter and jelly most will put on it, and the meal.
I'm not even sure what foods will or won't raise your sugars unaceptibly, so I am hoping I can be refered to a case manager who'll work w/ith me on that.
I don't usualy buy flavors with fruit in it, I like things like I said the extrem vanilla bean, or the orange cream dream stuff.
Sometimes I like mango orange or something. I always thought yogurt was good for you. I guess it is if you don't have health concerns that make it not ok for you.

Up your roughage intake...Leafy salads, crunchy broccoli, celery etc. but don't drench them in salad dressings. Oil and vinegar is good, the creamy ones are high in fats and carbs, even the low cal. I checked out the JitB extreme sausage sandwich..didn't see one without sausage..and the carbs on 1 is 31 give or take a gram and 670 calories EACH...this means that for 2 you are taking in 62 grams of carbs on average, and if the ice tea has no sugar in it ( I drink mine with nothing in it at all) you are adding another 2 carbs unless you add sugar and then each of those packets is 10 carbs. That would be total for 1 meal at Jack in the Box 82 carbs and 1340 calories. Most of us diabetic type II women require no more than 1600 calories a day most of which you just had in those 2 sandwiches. You can get more information here http://www.endocrineweb.com/diabetes/treatment.html . Fruited Yogurt ( including Yoplait Light) has an average of 17 g of sugar per 6 oz serving. No fat but you are still getting a hefty dose of sugar/carbs.
Now here is the trick..you may not be aware of just how many carbs and calories you take in daily. A good program I use is Calorie Balance Tracker (free) http://www.download.com/Calorie-Balance-Tracker/3000-2129_4-10761923.html. Weigh your food, measure it out and be honest and you will be surprised at how many calories and carbs you take in on a daily basis.
