somebody shut me the fark up.
I am type II diabetic and have been focusing on taking better care of myself.
Through experimenting with foods I have found that I can't eat rice, potatoes, pasta, or regular bread without my glucose levels exploding. (Having a Continuous Glucose Monitor has been a Godsend. Expensive, but a Godsend.)
I have been relegated to being a meat and vegetables guy these days.
But here's the thing: I'm tired of steamed broccoli, roasted brussel sprouts, sautéed cabbage, and green beans. Corn and peas are a no go. I eat tons of Romaine lettuce salads with cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, olives, bacon, and cheese but that's getting old too.
Any ideas of other veggies or cooking methods a brother can try?
Thanks in advance.
ps: I don't technically live in a food desert, but I do live in a pretty rural area.
