@kbart, Reversing your type 2 diabetes is no small feat, congratulations! I'm just starting out on the low carb high fat lifestyle so I'm looking for ideas also. I am able to stay away from fast food but do end up looking for healthy versions of prepared foods frozen or fresh that I can just reheat. I never really worried about the carbs so now I have to take my readers with me shopping so I can look at the ingredient list and yea or nay my choice if the carbs are too high. My favorite breakfast so far is a refrigerator oatmeal recipe I found on Mayo Clinic's website and modified it for my preference. Unfortunately for me, the total carbs are around 48 g and I'm trying to limit my daily intake of carbs to less than 50 g. So my second meal for my 2 meal fasting day is pretty limited for carbs.

I may try to make some of these meals or convince my wife to make them for us 🙂

That's a great accomplishment, @kbart, and we hope to see a lot more of it in our group. The highly processed food (anything in a box with a barcode) is generally going to be a bit too high in carbs and often will have fiber removed. When you prepare it yourself from real foods you know what the ingredients are. I like scrambled eggs with some kind of meat (bacon, ham, sausage) and add some guacamole (i get single-serving cups to keep it from oxidizing) and then sometimes add cream cheese to the concoction as well.

The good part about eating like this is I eat until I'm full, and then typically only have two meals a day, sometimes one, and I'm not hungry. So it's a little more work, but I don't have to do it as often.

Whatever you buy in prepared foods, just check the grams of carbs, and keep below the level that has enabled you to reverse your type 2 diabetes.

@kbart, congrats on reversing type 2 diabetes. Would you mind starting a new discussion where we can collect tips about eating prepared foods or quick food ideas?
