I’m diabetic and need to lose weight, so I’ve been eating low carbs lately. Tonight I was planning on sauteeing some chicken thighs, when I discovered that my blood sugar is running a little too low. So I decided to throw in some carbs.
Pineapple chunks, a handful of raisins, some grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, a little Splenda and cinnamon. Just enough carbs to keep my blood sugar reasonable . . . and it tasted great! I can think of all sorts of variations with stuff like mandarin oranges, peaches, mangoes, coconut, cashews.
This is the big challenge of a low-carb diet: making the food interesting while keeping the carbs on a reasonable level.
