Making the most of my #GestationalDiabetes diagnosis! Testing your blood sugar and constantly meal planning isn’t fun by any means but I’m learning the foods that work for me while still indulging. Sweets and simple carbs are entirely off the table but I have been enjoying:
- Gourmet omelettes with fine cheeses, herbs, meat & sautéed vegetables (my favorite breakfast)
- Bunless burgers (lettuce for the bun) and steak
- Grilled mushrooms and onions with olive oil 
- Cottage cheese (so protein rich and delicious) with a small portion of a low glycemic index fruit like berries 
- Lettuce wraps 

It’s not so bad! What I miss most is being able to enjoy fruit without measuring the amount or pairing with protein and then walking for 30 minutes after 😩 I want to eat a huge bowl of sliced mango way more than I want ice cream these days to be honest.

If anyone has had to monitor their blood sugar or keep a low carb diet and has meal ideas or tips feel free to share in the comments!
