Paleo Diet

I am thinking of changing things up a bit and trying a more Paleo diet. While I am doing low carb right, the paleo might allow me to try a few fruits. I miss fruit. I won’t go crazy and eat three bananas or 7 apples or anything like that. In my quick research, Paleo is still mostly protein.

Anyone have good tips on using Paleo and keeping diabetes under control? Of course, I will still use common sense (which the ADA is lacking when it comes to Type II) and not go wild but maybe a little bit of honey in my low-carb pumpkin pie won’t kill me.

We’ll see … I am doing pretty good with what I have been doing. My fasting this a.m. reminded me of why I like exercising at night. First time in a long time that I got on the bike last night.

Just some musings.

Just that good…

lol Seriously, though, I am. We were having problems with our tv and the sound. It was fading out and not always in the same spot on a recorded show and not all the time. We could watch the show on another television without issue. I was beginning to think it was a problem with the Vizio (brand) of television. We had Once Upon a Time turned all the way up and could not hear it.

A few sites seemed to make me believe it might be the television. A few others gave me a few things to try. We now have SOUND that is not fading in and out and is not at 100%.

I love technology. And I love Google.

Thanksgiving …

is right around the corner and I am eating low carb. How in the hell am I going to pull of things like dressing and pumpkin pie and sweet potato casserole – OH MY! I am Googling until my eyes bug out and there are so many recipes. I don’t think I like the crust ones that have a sweetener in them. I don’t usually put sugar in my flour crusts so why would I now? (Okay, reality check time: I do NOT make pie crusts. I buy them. Premade. Frozen. The only way to make a pie crust in my not-so-humble opinion).

So, over the next few weeks, I will be trying some recipes and seeing what I like and my family will tolerate. I think I will blog them here. What better way to actually remember what we like and don’t like and what was a pain in the butt to make.

Do YOU have any favorite low carb recipes for Thanksgiving you are willing to share? If so, please do. I haven’t tried much baking yet. A bit nervous to try things. Guess I should get over it, eh?

Pumpkin recipes, here I come! YUM.
