Small victory last night...picked my wife up at the airport and on the way home she said she wanted a Wendy's salad. Going to the pigtails was a pretty common thing for us before my D invasion; Dave Thomas' family should at least have been sending us Christmas cards the past several years...
So, since I'm still experimenting with what works and what doesn't, I decided to see what my usual favorite - spicy chicken sandwich - would do to my bg numbers (no bun, just the patty and lettuce/tomato...and no fries). Not only was the impact minimal, but I didn't really relish the chicken as much as I used to. It was good, but in the past I would have wanted another one right away. This time, my craving was satisfied with just the one patty. The difference? No carbs!
Like Patdart and many others have said, it's like carbs are a vicious cycle; you have some, you want more, you have more, you want more, you have more...and pretty soon you're being given Metformin.
