Wendy’s Chili!!

From some digging I was able to find something diabetic friendly to eat at Wendy’s!! My mom always took us to wendy’s in high school and this was my go to! It has low carbs and low sugars! I usually get the small since it can still be filling, but even the large is very good for a fast food place! So if your friends ever want to go to Wendy’s you can join them by getting this! (You can also get onions, cheese, and sour cream on it yum!!) ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

Dinner 2/27/2024

My lunch and dinner were pretty close together today so I was not that hungry but I didn’t want to have to eat another meal later on so I got something small! Tortillas are a pretty decent substitute for bread if they are corn!! They typically have extremely little sugars and carbs compared to bread!! I got my protein with some meat and got some green sauce on top Im not sure how much sugar this specific sauce has, but most chili verde sauces are extremely low in carbs and sugars (but high in sodium!! Which isn’t something I have to worry about but just in case I wanted to mention :3) !! I got some sparkling lime water as well >_<

Running towards your goals!

A lot of people around dieting have weight goals or lifestyle changes they want, but being a diabetic that goal a lot of the time is just to be “healthy”. Which can mean a lot of things. It’s easy to get into this habit of seeing the number on the glucometer and thing “i’ve managed to get my blood so in check now!” Yet feel like your energy is nothing!! That’s what happened the first time around for me. Checking and paying attention more to the number than to my health. Numbers and indicators are great for telling us when something we can’t see is wrong, but how we physically feel is ultimately where we will feel long term health results. I felt so irritable and numb when my blood was high, now I feel over sensitive and tired due to how rapidly I changed my diet and got my blood down!

I’ve talked to a family member with diabetes recently who is in his 70’s (love you grandpa) and truth be told diabetes is difficult because your numbers could be down but your energy and mood can be awful. So I guess I wanted to share some helpful things to keep in mind:

Physical exercise and walking around is very important for helping in natural insulin cycles. You can take in more carbs and sugars when you’re actively burning them! This can help with balancing out your diet.

Keto does not equal a diabetes friendly diet. Keto is meant for short period of time with extreme results. Keto friendly food is SAFE for diabetic but you should not be constantly taking in just a Keto diet! It’s a lot of the reason your energy can feel next to nothing.

Eating healthy doesn’t mean shutting out sweets completley. I have a massive sweet tooth, moderation is key! Have just one cookie not two or three. Opt for frozen yogurt with just one topping instead of an icecream sundae. And keep a “treats are for fridays” sort of attitude and don’t be getting something super sugary more than once or twice a week! You can still enjoy things it’s just about balance

Being a diabetic is hard! But that’s why I have this blog so maybe you can feel that we’re here together!

glucose gal out!! >_<
