Stone crab season officially begins on October 15, making this shellfish a delicious fall diet food. “Crabs are a very rich source of lean protein, low in calories and fat (a 4 oz. serving has only 98 calories and less than 2 grams of fat), and they can make a filling main course dish! Crabs are also a good source of chromium, which helps in the metabolism of sugar, helping the body to maintain normal blood glucose (sugar) levels. Watch out Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab restaurant! If out office is lucky - they might even bring some for lunch on Wednesday - they have in the past!
It all started in late March 2009, my annual visit to the Doctor. The blood work came back borderline type 2 diabetic and the outcome was “try to get my diet under control or else medication.” Medication is not a word in my vocabulary! NO WAY! UNFORTUNEATELY my health insurance wouldn’t cover a dietician/nutritionist. FORTUNATELY I have a fabulous sister-in-law who is a nutritionist and took me under her wing. I now refer to her as my DIET GURU. Every week I wrote down what I was eating and I would get back some extremely helpful comments, suggestions and inspiration. Without the help of my Guru and husband I would never have been able to achieve this goal. My husband has cooked 90% of meals over our 20 year marriage. My family and friends played a key role in this quest. I am not a qualified expert and this blog is based on my own personal experience. I have been referring to this transformation as my summer project and forever a work in progress.
Remember…
nothing tastes as good as thin feels
