Well, on to other news, D went in for her yearly checkup. Something we didn't expect to hear... type 2 diabetic. So, not only healthy choices for me, but for her as well. NO MORE EXCUSES.

Question, what kind of meal plans should I be looking into? I know to cut out all the white stuff and processed food... but what else?

One of the best resources ever for Diabetes and heart healthy living is Dr Barry Sears book "Entering the Zone". This book demystifies the carb/protein/fat chemistry of food and puts it all into plain language that we can all understand. He explains blood sugar and how to regulate it. There are also menu ideas and meal plans in there. I cant stress enough how this book has helped so many people that I know.

My advice on meal planning would be to try and eat grilled and roasted foods, lots of veggies and whole grains when you can.

And Hot sauce! lol
