A simple stir fry made with stuff I needed to use up: tofu, mangetout, carrots and courgette. I grated the courgette and carrots for a different texture. Just added soya sauce and garlic powder at the end, not many ingredients but I did enjoy it.

I wonder if I could get those wraps? Will check out Tesco. 🙂

I got them at ASDA for 1'80£ . A bit pricier than the regular ones (store brand) but not crazy expensive like some lower carb alternatives.

Wow I had the yogurt this am. Still in shock as I was notified by text at 1700. Thursday to say positive. Is a veggie diet ok for diabetes- what about protein?
Trev

Definitely a veggie diet can be great. Protein can be found in

• Lentils: 17.9 g of protein
• Chickpeas: 14.5 g of protein
• Pinto beans: 15.4 g of protein
• Kidney beans: 15.3 g of protein
• Peas: 8.6 g of protein
• edamame beans

Then depending how vegetarian you are, yoghurt eggs, cheese, nuts
Almonds, pistachios, cashews, hazelnuts, and peanuts all have lots of protein.
As long as you vary your diet you should be okay.

I was feeling adventurous and tried a recipe that's very different from my usual eating. I even bought chillies for it, and I usually avoid spicy stuff, I added only half the amount that the recipe said but is already a step for me.


Is broccoli and paneer with chili, garlic and garam masala, and a side of garlicky minty yogurt. The recipe is from a cookbook I got at Poundland. I was lured by the "low carb meals in under 30 minutes" and the price of £3

This was actually not bad, even with the unfamiliar flavours, and I'm looking forward to try some of the other recipes 🙂
