2000 CALORIE DIABETIC MEAL PLAN

The New Glucose Revolution Life Plan: Discover How to Make the Glycemic Index the Foundation for a Lifetime of Healthy Eating

With each passing day, yet another health, diet, and nutrition expert or author gets on the glycemic index (GI) bandwagon. In 2003 The South Beach Diet joined New York Times best-selling books by Dr. Andrew Weil, Harvard's Dr. Walter Willett, Dr. Robert Atkins, Dr. Barry Sears, and many others in advocating taking into account the GI values of foods as a key element in a healthy, lifelong diet. But the authoritative source of information on the GI remains the Glucose Revolution series—and The New Glucose Revolution Life Plan is the book that situates the GI within today's complete nutrition picture. Both an introduction to the benefits of low-GI foods and an essential source of new information for those already familiar with the concept, it charts a clear course through today's complicated nutrition maze—and offers easy-to-follow guidelines for choosing the right diet. This new edition has been revised throughout in two-color with an 8-page photo insert featuring some of the fifty delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes offered in the book, as well as a complete, up-to-date table of GI and new glycemic load values for more than eight hundred foods and beverages.

16. i'm never satisfied with everything that I do, so I do it over numerous times.

Well, I finally decided that as I have free time this week, I would
make cookies. I had planned already how I would cover them in
fondant, and emboss them .. lustre dust etc etc....... (BIG CRYING
FACE)........................ so much harder than I could have ever
imagined, that I have stopped halfway through.. and am not doing
anymore!!! I used Martha Stewarts recipe.... and lots of rolling ..
putting in freezer etc.... cry cry cry... mine just looked like
blobs... not the pretty shapes I had cut out....mine looked like...
Ummmmm like they had melted... I mean they taste yummy.. (yes I
also broke the bloody healthy eating plan I have been on to taste them in my
misery)...... so.. the dough is now in the fridge... and I am going to
add some nuts & chocolate to them.. maybe some oatmeal... just to make
them into a different type of biscuit!!
SO:..... after I finished all the ironing yesterday... cleaned the
house yesterday.. and today..... washed floors etc... I am now heading
back to the kitchen to clean up my mess!!! sniff sniff!!
Once back in the kitchen...... I looked again at the 12 cookies that were there....... and decided I may as well decorate them.... So... I actually used the cutters again, to trim all the disaster bits off... and I must say that a layer of fondant certainly hides a multitude of sins!!!

I am so much more impressed now by all my Flickr friends who are cookie experts... and I have decided this is my project for 2009........... to perfect cookies!!! (and maybe even some piping!!)... this makes me feel a little nervous! LOL
