Diabetes Prevention Class #4: Eat Well to Prevent T2

This right here is why I need someone to hold my hand.  I have no self-control when it comes to Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies.  As I'm eating them, I know that they are terrrrrible for me.  I'm a sugar addict.

This week's class was a fantastic reminder that I can do this.  We talked about servings and what the plate should look like.  It's not rocket science, people, but I seriously needed a swift kick in the pants to remind me.  Allison came and did a guest demonstration on sugar content in beverages and serving sizes in fruit (with sugar content)--they have a lot of neat props over at the DANC that will make your stomach churn if you see how much sugar is in "no sugar added" juice.  Blech.  We also talked about carb intake.

Seriously, though, this information is common sense, but not common practice--at least in my life.  So, this is where we try to make good choices (but also know that next week we will have to begin tracking, so I'm eating like I'm going to have to track my food next week and not this week, LOL.
