Healthier (however you define it) meals you've been making lately

I guess I’ll try them out and see whether my sugar spikes. Maybe the nut butter combined with the dates has an effect on the dates’ glycemic load.

I was shocked how high my sugar spiked after I ate a 28 gram packet of chocolate covered pineapple jellies RStuart gave me. The highest glucose reading I’ve ever had, and a fairly small amount of candy.

The main thing I’m learning with my body is that I cannot eat fruit or candy without some protein and fat, if I want to avoid spikes in glucose. I used to eat fruit after dinner, and I cannot do that anymore.

It was a shock to see how high my sugar was spiking if I ate 2 peaches or a cup of grapes. It’s really changed my relationship with fresh fruit.
