Living low carb is how I am doing mine as well, with gluten free (for me this was the key) added in...over time I have completely edited out fast food with a few exceptions in an emergency:
  • McDonalds scrambled eggs and sausage sides (cool thing its about $2 when you order as sides!)
  • Carls Junior has a low carb burger on lettuce
  • Taco Bell two chicken tacos and a side of beans (or two) then scrape the insides of the tacos into the beans and voila! Get a spoon...
  • Taco Bell tostadas, not the best but the corn doesn't seem to bother me. I would rathe make my own but in a pinch...
  • Panda Expresss Mandarin Chicken with NO sauce and a side of steamed veggies
  • I also keep nuts in my car...hehehe...for emergencies. Or will stop at a quickie mart for a bag of almonds or cashews.

I have heard many stories of diabetics who have gotten things under control by going low carb. My boss's husband was one of them. His dr was amazed.
