So what do you do when you go away for a week to a place where the meals are included? Tell them that you eat a carb-restricted diet and hope for the best? Bring your own food and look for ways to refrigerate it (along with your backup insulin)? Both, it turns out. I signed up for a 5-day weaving class in the remote hamlet of Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, even though all I wanted to do was stay home with the cat. I can't spend the rest of my life in my house just because it's the one environment I can control. I made the arrangements, and was pleasantly surprised when I got an email asking about dietary restrictions. Diabetic, low carb, I responded. So Imagine my dismay when dinner the first night consisted of . . . pasta. I picked and poked at it and then drove 8 miles to town for some low carb Chinese food, followed by a trip to the supermarket.
Dinner tonight was chicken and rice casserole. They made a tofu version for a vegetarian guest, but I guess it's hard to make a non-rice casserole. The very definition of a casserole is a little bit of meat stretched to the limit by carbs. And people don't really get the low carb thing, or the diabetes thing. So I'm back in my room, feasting on canned tuna and cheese. And plenty of wine, needless to say. I love the weaving, but I'll be happy when this week's over.
This post has given much much information regarding the diet to be maintained and the meals which is preferable for person who are in diet pand weight loss program .
