Day 1 Jan 11th 2016

So today is the first day of my vegan diet! All Photos of my meals are posted on my instagram vegan_diabetic

Breakfast: I woke up not feeling very hungry so i cut some apples up and ate them with almond butter ( peanut butter is not vegan ) i drank green tea black with this meal and 1 glass of water. My blood sugar was 7.6 so i put 21 carbs in for this meal.

Snack: i didnt have a snack today because i had a late breakfast.

Lunch: I had a cauliflower soup (recipe below) with a glass of water. My blood sugar was 6.8 and i put 7 carbs in cauliflower doesnt have many crabs at all. This soup is delicious and filling although it doesnt make you feel bloated at all which i really liked.

Workout: My blood sugar was 8.7 before my workout which is okay because i dont want it to go low during. I did video #1 of insanity which is a 25 minute fitness test! i didnt realize how out of shape i was.

Dinner: For dinner my blood sugar was 5.4. I made vegan big mac with a zucchini bake! It was delicious and doesnt make you feel gross and bloated like a regular burger. I added sweet potatoe and carrots to the zucchini bake which was also SUPER yummy! I had a mug of green tea and a class of water! i only put in 16 carbs

Snack: I didnt have a snack just a mug of green tea before bed!

Overall my first day of this diet made me feel better already. Most vegan foods have barley any carbs so my blood sugar has been super controlled and ive barley had to put insulin in! My body doesnt feel bloated what so ever.
