Ossie-Sharon 3 years ago | Hi, Ladytee799. You have come to the right place, as our program is based on principles of diabetes prevention. Physical activity can make a big difference there as well, so I would like to help you find something that meets your needs. I suggest you check out the One and Done program (http://svelte.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=47&aff_id=1113&url_id=294 &aff_sub=sh), which takes up very little time and doesn’t require fancy equipment. Below are some ideas for healthy foods that can be easy on your schedule and can be taken on the road: •Fresh and dried fruit •Cut raw vegetables (free: Arugula, Broccoli, Broccoli rabe/raab, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Celery, Cucumber, Radishes, Spinach, Sprouts, Watercress, Zucchini •Oven-baked vegetable chips •Nuts and seeds •Trail mix combinations of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit •Sandwiches – good breads with nut butters, hummus and similar spreads, tahini, canned or smoked fish, cheese, homemade “cold cuts” from fresh meats, egg salad, etc. •Whole grain or Paleo crackers plus any of the above •Hard-boiled eggs •Sliced or string cheese •Cottage cheese •Yogurt •Milk (dairy or vegetal), plain or flavored with cocoa powder and a recommended sweetener •Hearty soup in a thermos (2-3 food groups, i.e. meat or legume, vegetable, whole grain) •Hearty smoothie/shake in a thermos (2-3 food groups, i.e. fruit/vegetable, dairy/vegan, seeds) •Edamame or other legume/pulse snacks •Whole grain or Paleo cereal or granola (cold in small sealable bag, cooked in thermos) •Canned beans •Prepared healthy foods in containers – from leftovers or prepared the night or weekend before. •Homemade whole-food muffins or bars •Popped grains, i.e. organic popcorn, sorghum, quinoa |
Ladytee799 3 years ago | Hi I just found out I am a borderline diabetic, trying to eat healthier and change my diet so I won’t become a type 2 diabetic. It’s hard for me because I drive 18 wheelers over the road so how would you suggest changing how I eat and exercise being I don’t have the time. Thanks |
