Diabetic Digest - January 21, 2015
Readers: I hopped on the scale this morning and I've lost a few pounds. I can't believe it. It's probably from cutting out all of that carbonated soda I was drinking.
Now that soda is not an issue I think I'll turn my fight to food. I'm going to eat so much better now and enjoy foods that I forgot about. I remember that Stir Fry was one of my favorite meals. I used to make it the healthiest way I could and it never let me down.
There are so many healthy ways to improve some of your favorite meals. And in my opinion, it makes them so much more enjoyable. I've got to get a diabetic cookbook and really get cooking. I'm sure my body, and my tummy, will thank me for it later.
I'm feeling better and now I'm going to eat better. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can start exercising outdoors in the fresh air. Come on, Spring!
Regards,

Email Steve *-- Diabetic News --*Cooking at Home Best for Your DietBy: Miriam E. Tucker
The more time you spend in the kitchen preparing, cooking, and cleaning up from meals, the more healthful your diet is likely to be. In phone surveys of 1,319 adults, those who reported spending two or more hours a day in the kitchen ate fruit 8.4 times per week and vegetables 13.6 times per week, compared with 6.1 and 10.6 times, respectively, for those who reported spending less than an hour on home-prepared meals. Participants who most often cooked at home spent less money on restaurants and were nearly two times less likely to eat fast food once a week.
