Advice for vegetarians

[Sweety]

I am taking metformin 500 twice every day. I had discontinued some time back and found my numbers going up steadily.

We eat fish or chicken maybe once or twice a week. I find it very difficult to maintain a good low carbohydrate meal plan with this. Can some one please help me with good food choices.

Sweety, I am not sure if you've ever done any reading at Diet Doctor.com, but they have some nice recipes for vegetarians and a keto diet.  I am not vegetarian, but I still like vegetarian recipes.  You might enjoy reading what they have in the way of suggestions.

I found that I felt better if I took Metformin extended release after I ate.  It causes far less stomach or intestinal distress.

There might be ways you could 'adapt' your favourite foods to suit your diet preferences.

You beat me to it Grammabear! I was going to recommend the Diet Doctor too! He is actually a medical doctor, so many of the other sites are not reputable. He has some great recipes and great explanations of how to do the low carb high fat way of eating.

My doctor who is a GP, is actually the one who recommended that website to me.  She is very interested in Paleo and/or Keto eating but rules and regulations at the clinic where she works forbid her to mention LCHF way of eating as a healthy way to eat.  So she told me "off the record" this is a good place to get information.  Sweety might find some interesting recipes depending on what is available where she lives.

Sweety, There are many sites that give out recipes, as mentioned above. We have our own Recipe section here and I'm sure you will find some exciting things there. I have a Recipe section on my Blog where many have contributed with their vegetarian favourites. Choices are limited but if you let your imagination loose you can come up with interesting items.

Tank you all. I will look into dietdoctor. SKB I completely forgot that I have seen some good recipes on your blog. Can you send me the link again.
