My lunch on Saturday: Pasta Italiano soup, mixed exotic fruit, cottage cheese, about 420 calories

I was talking to a woman yesterday, who like me is borderline diabetic. We were swapping horror stories about blood sugar crashes and what causes them. She told me that fruit actually helps stabilize her blood sugar, but ONLY when she eats it in moderation, like 4 ounces at a time. Her doctor actually told her that. When she said that it occurred to me that she is right! When I first started this fruit - in - the - morning - plan, I wasn’t having the blood sugar problem. It was only when I started eating larger quantities of it that it became in issue.

So now I know how to completely eliminate the blood sugar crashes. Along with cutting back on my fruit servings and doing what I said in the previous post about adding fat and protein to each meal, I will be just fine (and I have been the past 2 days).

Anyway, eating healthy has truly become second nature for me. The weight is coming off, my stomach is shrinking each day and I am feeling a LOT better. I exercise pretty much every day too. I’ve gotten into a routine though where I only exercise for about 25 minutes a day. That probably seems like too little for some of you, but it’s doing me just fine. The weight is coming off at a healthy rate and that is what counts!
