In order to lose weight I need to have 30g - 45g of total carbs with meals, for snacks - 15g. It's amazing how little that actually can be. But then again, when losing weight you're basically fasting...
On a good note, with my medication, my blood sugar levels have been in normal range for about a week! Yeah!
Back to the diet portion, my diet and eating habits have been sporadic to say the least. I usually had an idea of what my body felt like having when it was time for a lunch or snack, and would usually just buy whatever I needed, or thought I needed. Now I need to prep foods in advanced, prepare meals for the day that I might later not really want to have when the time comes, and I have to start learning how to... cook!!!
I've had some ideas on how to make things fun, one word: Bento!

I'm still new to planning and preparing meals of my own. I get a little overwhelmed. It seems simple... First I figure out what I want to eat for the week, figure out what to buy, when to prepare said food, how to store it, when to pack it. Also keeping track of how many carbs, calories, and serving sizes per meal. Eating the meal seems like the easiest thing. Small, smart choices. One day at a time....
