Guest guest Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Actually it was a healthy recipe for diabetics. It did have carbs of course, I don't think you are going to make a bake able cookie without them, the apple juice was natural sugar and it digest differently and the wheat flour is better for us then white but it is also ok to have low sugar things. A lot of no sugar recipes has way more carbs then if you had the sugar. The new thing to do is go with low sugar in the recipes but they still substitute fruit juice and honey, and etc. The big thing is you aren't making up a batch of cookies to sit and eat anyways. You can have one. Freeze them and thaw the out if you are by yourself. I never told anyone on this list but I just got out of the hospital a couple of days ago, another stent in my heart that they had a really hard time getting in. My right coronary artery is collapsing, it was when they was trying to do the stent. I had 4 before. Two in the other major artery. Obviously they had me on a diabetic diet as well as a heart one when I was in there. I was on an 1800 calorie per day diet, 50 carbs for breakfast and 60 each for lunch and dinner. They gave you choices of what you good have and you just had to combine everything together so that you didn't more carbs then you were allowed. Some of the choices was sweet and sour chicken with rice, 4 cheese lasagna, macaroni and cheese, chicken sandwiches with tomatoes and lettuce and grilled chicken sandwiches. For your starters you could have soup 1/2 cup , 2 crackers they all counted on your carbs 2 crackers was 5 carbs. They had sugar-free jello salads with fruit, and etc. You had what you wanted but you did not go over the carb count. At night you were allowed a snack and it was cozy shack no sugar added pudding or a turkey sandwich and in my case the one night I got peanut butter and 2 graham crackers because my mac and cheese sucked for dinner and I didn't eat it. Dave has it right, lean meat and fresh veggies is best but you do need some carbs. Please pray for me, at the moment my heart problems are worse then my sugar one but they go hand in hand.
