Smoothies and Byetta
Since I "should" have my "spit" tonight I am attempting to plan out meals with
some fruit or other carbs in them.
I have a whole book of low-carb smoothies by Dana Carpenter. Have any of you
ever tried any of them?
I am having a chocolate-yogurt smoothie for a mid-day meal at the moment for 6
grams of carbs, but no fruit. However, the majority of them DO have fruit. I
just have no White Atkins Milk at the moment (store is out) and the fruits I
have plus chocolate do not appeal to me.
In case you might be using it and don’t recognize what I mean, here is what this
sort of thing is: 1 cup yogurt, 1/2 cup diet ginger ale, 1/2 cup honeydew melon
or balls (frozen), 1/2 teaspoon lemon-limb sugar-free drink mix (Wylers makes a
nice one) and she uses Guar or Xanthan gum (I don’t - instead I use 2 tbsp of
vanilla whey protein powder and some additional ice cubes to thicken it up).
She uses low fat (I use plain whole milk yogurt) and has lower calorie counts
than I do because of it, but the whole milk yogurt is reported to have fewer
carbs and less impact, so I use it.
Is this enough carb to cover the byetta injection? I was also thinking that for
Gerald, things like this might help his carb cravings. It is a thought, anyway.
Sure hope it is in today. The drug store only had one 10 mcg pen on hand so it
had to order it and it won’t be in until late this afternoon (or tomorrow
morning)
