Any good low carb,low calorie, low fat, recipes?

musiclover asked:

I’m on a diet and a diabetic, looking for some new recipes to try out – low sugar, low carb, etc.  However, I want something that tastes good, with not too many vegtables in them.  Can anyone suggest anything – appitizers, main dishes, side dishes, desserts?

Diabetic Weight Loss?

ncbound asked:

I have been a diabetic for 33 years now. I am very healthy and with no problems yet! My a1c is 6.1 and steady! Since I turned 40 my weight has become an issue. I exercise 4 times a week. My diet is great.  My doctor states that this is a side effect from taking insulin for 30+ years. I refuse to hear this. Are there any diabetics out there, 40+ who have any weight loss success stories that will help me? Your help is GREATLY appreciated!

Diabetes Question

Why do we bleach grains such as rice and substances such as sugar, when it degrades them as food sources?

Johnny Rae asked:

Natural foods are healthier than processed food and until quite recently in human history our diets consisted predominately of unprocessed foods. So why did we start bleaching and processing the goodness out of basic foods?  This can result in so many health problems, including diabetes.
