Whole Whole Wheat Pesto Pasta and Mozzarella Dish
• 7 ounces uncooked whole wheat rotini (I used Aldi Fit'n Active brand)
• 4 cups broccoli florets (I used 1 bag of frozen Broccoli, just threw it in the microwave)
• 1 package Knorr® Pesto sauce mix
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 3 Tbsp. wine vinegar (or regular)
• 1 pint of cherry tomatoes [or grape tomatoes], halved
• 1 cup cubed mozzarella cheese
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
MFP here, each waffle is made of 3 Tbsp. Just Egg and 1 tsp. flax meal, cooked in a mini waffle maker. Also sprinkled a bit of cinnamon on top.
I like this brand - it's pretty popular. Really just any real, non-instant oats should do. Then you can cook to your desired tenderness, and add flavorings as you desire.

I keep it pretty basic, just add milk, honey, and cinnamon. But you can go balls out with nuts, raising, fruit, etc., if that's your schtick. I really do think it's a lot better than the packets, although I do occasionally keep those around if I expect to be busy.
Don't worry, when I was diagnosed a few years ago, I was completely overwhelmed as well. I completely ignored Metformin to this day and live a healthy life, so good on you. Diet is all you need, however depending on the person, Metformin maybe a requirement.
GLYCAEMIC INDEX
The main thing you need to look out for, are slow release foods. These foods release slowly into the bloodstream and help your body deal with the carbs much easier.
When I started out, I used the glycemic index table to find the right food.
The GI table goes from 0-100, Fruit Roll-Ups for example have a GI of 99. 99 Is really bad and should be avoided because it releases fast into the bloodstream. I usually focus on foods with a maximum GI of 55.
Again, this is me, every diabetic is unique and you must test every time, before and after every meal.
If you live in the EU, check out these downloadable lists.
If you live in America, check out this website.
Weigh absolutely everything, before you cook your meal. Know the amount of carbs you eat per meal. When I started out, I focused on eating as few carbs as possible, between 10-20 carbs per meal. Again, this is me, there are other diabetics out there that eat that amount within a day.
Experiment, see what your body can handle. I recommend to go really low on the carbs until you get your sugar down to normal.
My meals usually consist out of beans in general, kidney beans or chick peas, vegetables and meats etc. I was able to bring my sugar down from 300 to normal range within three weeks.
Just to give you a basis, it takes me around 3-4 days to finish an entire 200g can of kidney beans.
FOODS I RECOMMEND
They are a little more carb heavy, around 30 carbs for 6 oatcakes, but are quite nice when you want a snack.
I will probably update the list, should I remember more.
WHEN TO EAT
It is recommended to wait at latest four hours after your last meal, before you eat your next meal. Check your sugar at around 2 hours after the meal.
You don't have to eat full blown meals every four hours, but a couple of carbs should suffice. Again, every diabetic is different, I can eat nothing for 10 hours and my sugar is fine.
EXERCISE
Go to the gym or walk every day, get active and lose weight, especially in the stomach area.
DRINKS
Stop drinking beer and any alcoholic beverage with a colour. Vodka has 0 carbs per shot and you can drink it in moderation. Don't forget to eat a couple of carbs when you drink.
I must admit, I consume a lot of diet drinks and should really cut down on them. I recommend you to do the same, so you decrease the appetite and sweet tooth that comes with it.
INGREDIENTS TO LOOK OUT FOR
It is very important to become an ingredient Nazi. Any product that has;
Ditch it all, do not buy.
Even wholemeal breads come with sugar and mixtures of white flour. I'm lucky that my local Aldi store sells 100% wholemeal bread. Try to find the same. A lot of packed peanuts have sugar as well, even pickled cucumbers.
Always cook fresh and ditch the instant stuff, it's all bad.
ALLOW YOURSELF A TREAT
It is ok to treat yourself now and again. Once you get your sugar down to normal and work out, you can have a glass of wine etc. I ate an Oreo biscuit the other day, although I regret it, that motherlover had over 10 carbs.
END
You'll be fine, don't you worry. Test your sugar rigorously, learn what you can eat and whatnot and after a while, you can manage everything with ease.
Feel free to always send men a PM or ask the folks on /r/diabetes.
Apologies for any spelling mistakes, English isn't my first language.
Most abundant ingrendients: Maltodextrin, Protein Blend (Whey Protein Concentrate, Calcium Caseinate, Egg Albumin, Sweet Dairy Whey)

Gainers are not worth it. This gainer gets you 800g protein (18g/dollar) and 4032g carbs (90g carbs/dollar).
You can buy protein powder from here: http://www.truenutrition.com/p-947-whey-protein-isolate-cold-filtration-1lb.aspx?
It comes out to 409.5g protein for $9.99 (41g protein/dollar). Go buy some. Its cheap.
You can get pop tarts from amazon w/ free shipping 144 for $23.62 (with applied coupon): http://www.amazon.com/Pop-Tarts-Frosted-Smores-12-Count-Tarts/dp/B001PNM44G/
Thats 5184g carbs for $23.62 (220g carbs/dollar).

Tl;dr: Gainers normally have blends of protein and maltodextrin. Get yourself whey isolate cold filtered from truenutrition. Its cheap. Whey has superior amino acid profile compared to eggs or casein. Pop tarts have a ton of carbs. Get them cheap too from amazon.
Send them kashi go lean crunch and haribo sugar free gummi bears.

Not sure if they still sell them at grocery stores but they have them on Amazon!
Product page on Amazon:
1 serving (3 Tbsp)
I've seen it at a local grocery store--I'm curious to try it, but I tend to just stick with egg whites for their lower price and higher protein. I'll be interested to see how the product evolves, though!
Ask me this 2 months ago and I would say, "No, have a good big breakfast." However, for about the past few months, I have been making shakes for breakfast and couldn't be happier. Before, I was pretty much Mr. Subway or Starbucks breakfast sandwiches everyday. I was spending ~ $50 a week just in breakfast food. Absurd.
I don't think powder alone will get you very far. I know I would be hungry again in an hour.
So, in about 5 minutes, I mix the following in a blender:
The above starts my morning off right and keeps me mostly satiated until lunch approaches. That says a lot for a 215lb guy. If I know I am going to be working extra hard/long/or going snowboarding or something, I toss in another 1/4-1/2 cup of regular old oats to get the carb content up.
My Dad (a long time fan of the breakfast shake) told me the other day he has been using a cup of spinach in his shakes, and says it adds little to zero flavor. I may give this a whirl for an even greater anti-oxidant boost.
Oh, I also add in my daily creatine and beta-alanine as well.
Precision Nutrition has some fantastic shake recipes, many which could be well suited to breakfast time and with some tweaking, to whatever nutritional/caloric goals you may have. Check them out.
It must be noted that I would much prefer to sit down and have a nice big breakfast, but this works given that I am a sleepyhead. I do love some breakfast, a handful of eggs, a few sweet potato pancakes and some nice patty sausage.....damnit, now I am hungry.
After 2 years of paleo and craving cold cereal, I finally broke down and bought some paleo coconut flakes from amazon. They are good and they fixed my cold cereal craving. They are expensive for how much you get though.
http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KXDPS60/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
There is a product you should know about...
https://www.amazon.com/Kelloggs-Froot-Cereal-Straws-8-8-Ounce/dp/B001E7655C
Prepackaged oatmeal, like Quaker brand, is processed rolled oats, which are oats without the husks. Check out steel cut oats, which are just chopped up whole oats. Way more nutrition out of those babies.
No am I not being paid by Bob's Red Mill lol. I just really like their oats and bulgur and I can get them on Amazon. Wish I could get a sponsorship.
Your body won't be able to tell if you're getting calories from solid foods or liquid. It will use the macros the same.
Just like most of Rich's fans can't tell what is muscle and what is synthol on him.
But seriously, there are far better YouTubers to follow over Rich.
Shakes are great. Convenient and very easy to make. Mine is simple.
Blend
they still sell it on amazon. I bought it a few months ago and it was just as magical as I remembered.
For the lazy
Might I interest you in the Froot Loops equivalent?
Steel cut coach's oats. you can find them at costco too
http://www.amazon.com/Coachs-Oats-Whole-Grain-Oatmeal/dp/B005EL6VOY
http://www.amazon.com/Kashi-GOLEAN-Crunch-Cereal-15-Ounce/dp/B001E5E08S
9g/ of protein per serving
Silly and Smiley
Woot Friday, thanks for the contest! I would really like this cereal something awful...
If you can swing the cost, Just egg is really good for plant based scrambled eggs. Otherwise, a tofu scramble is the way to go.
I bought a 12 pack of 12 pack boxes (read: 144 smores poptarts) and my mom thinks im a stupid fatass =(.
got it here: Amazon
Same reason Boo Berry cereal is not so prevalent anymore. People avoid blue foods. Luckily for the brave, Amazon has everything.
https://www.amazon.com/Pop-Tarts-Frosted-Cinnamon-8-Count-Packages/dp/B000E283KS
The easiest is probably to get better tasting oatmeal. If you're eating quaker's, it's only uphill from there. Quaker's has a muddy texture and tastes like cardboard tbh.
Here's what I get from my local Costco for about $6 per 5 lbs (http://www.amazon.com/Coachs-Oats-Whole-Grain-Oatmeal/dp/B005EL6VOY). It has a "pop" to it texture wise, and has a nutty after taste.
Still available in Canada.
You can get in on Amazon.
I almost made my last laptop purchased based on the idea of using it with an external GPU over Thunderbolt. The problem is it's just too expensive and the prices are artificially inflated.
For the $979.00 cost of Sonnet Echo Express III-D ALONE I could easily build a nice mini-ITX Haswell i5 computer with a 256GB SSD & 2TB HDD and still have enough money left over to buy 576 S'mores Flavored Pop-tarts.
Granted, I do get Windows for free from my University.

But seriously, I wish Thunderbolt peripherals were cheaper. Awesome write up on eGPUs by the way.
Candy is great, so how about turkish delights?
If you can go ONE penny over...
Original Hot Sauce and Jerky I've never had it but it sounds delicious!
For some healthy type cereal, how about Kashi GOLEAN Crunch! Cereal, Honey Almond Flax, 4 pack
You think this is nuts? Try Post Shredded Wheat. Two of those biscuits would fill the bowl. Exact-same thing, just without the frosting.
Solution: Froot Loops Marshmallow. Because worst case, Froot Loops!
^May ^cause ^diabetes
Is this https://www.amazon.com/Malt-Meal-Original-Wheat-Cereal/dp/B007NZBVTE?th=1 the one you are referencing? When I googled Malt-O-Meal, it popped up with a variety of cereal options.
Yes they do. They even sell it on amazon. :)
http://www.amazon.com/Quaker-Instant-Oatmeal-Dinosaur-Eggs/dp/B000YPKOIY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1314058038&sr=8-2
I grew up eating these because that's what my dad liked. I've tried both the frosted and unfrosted versions, and I always thought the unfrosted was superior. Although I'm sure being indoctrinated from an early age had something to do with it.
And a few "bonus deals" for those who read this far down in the comments! (Tomorrow I'll start putting everything in the original post.)
21) Shirakiku Rice - $12 for (5) lbs
5 lb rice for $2.30/lb. Including since it's a lower-priced item that is shippable, even though it's not as good a deal as you'd get in stores.
22) Wheat Thins Salsa Flavor - $11 for (6) boxes
Wheat Thins for $1.80/box for 9 oz. size is pretty good! Cheaper than Wal-Mart.
23) Ravarino bowtie pasta - $11 for (12) lbs
12 lbs of bowtie pasta for under $1/lb is grocery-sale-price good!
24) ~~Organic coconut oil - $10 for (1.5) lbs
I get coconut oil (organic) on sale for $6/lb, so $10 for 1.5 lbs is spot-on as a great deal.~~ Deal is over, now up to $16.
25) Sandwich-sliced kosher pickles - $12 for (12) lbs
$1/lb for kosher sandwich flats (pickles), awesome - store some up; also great for chopping into potato salad, pasta salad, etc.
26) Chipotle-flavored pinto beans - $13 for (12) cans
Just over $1/can for chipotle-seasoned pinto beans, probably one of the best prices on the site for canned beans.
27) Tesori Capellini Pasta - $16 for (20) lbs!
Hard to beat at 75c/lb! Usually there are around 9 servings per pound, so this will last a very long time.
28) ~~Goya Sweet Peas - $16 for (24) cans
This deal may be gone before I type it, because that works out to about 66c/can. Go quickly, only 2 left at this price!~~ Called it! The price is now $44 for the 24 cans. Congratulations if you got in on it before they wised up!
29) Organic White Bean Chili - $18 for (12) cans
A little something for our legume-based chili lovers - low sodium, too!
30) Quaker Quick Oats - $14 for (5) lbs.
It's difficult to find a good deal on oats, at the site. This is one of the better ones I saw, at around $2.80/lb.
31) Quaker Instant Oats - Peaches and Cream - $10 for (40) pouches
Quaker peaches & cream instant oatmeal - 40 pouches for $10 (25c/pouch). Incredible! Most of their pouches are going for around $1 each. For the 25c/pouch price, if you don't like Peaches and Cream, you can also get Raisin Spice flavor:
Quaker Instant Oats - Raisin Spice - $10 for (40) pouches
32) Chef Boyardee Whole Grain ABCs-123s - $18 for (12) cans
At $1.50/can for more nutrition than the original style, these are a nice buy.
No to coffee? That's okay. It's not my thing either. I prefer tea, and even then only special flavored teas. However, if it's French Toast you want then these three seem good. Though the cereal is only through third-party things.
Check out online for bulk and save the packs you don't immediately cook in the freezer so they stay fresh and dry.
Here is where I buy mine: Bob's Red Mill Oats Steel Cut, 24-Ounce (Pack of 4)
Turns out Quaker was pretty accurate with their representation of eggs in dry wall
My comfort food for pretty much all my life has been http://amzn.to/2drVvL0 Unfrosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts. Looking at the sodium content they don't actually seem to be 'low sodium' but you'll pry them out of my cold dead hands before I give them up.
I've been thinking about taking up sugar cereal breakfasts again after seeing they have released what was my dream cereal as a kid.
This may or may not help but found them on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DNOUMLC?pc_redir=1408850783&robot_redir=1
edit: I r illiterate. Read that last bit.
Or if anyone has tried this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KXDPS60/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_vCKQwb08FZ6H9
I actually haven't had these since I was a kid but I have rediscovered them and have been waiting for a good excuse to order some... this would certainly work! :D
They are soooo good, so unhealthy, but so awesome. :D
Mhh im not sure if this product is everywhere on the planet. Well here is a british amazon link https://www.amazon.co.uk/Carbzone-Carb-Protein-Rich-Bread/dp/B016ZU8TCE/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1522935678&sr=8-1&keywords=protein+bread
And here a American https://www.amazon.com/Mestemacher-Bread-Protein-Ounce-Pack/dp/B00T72S8EW/ref=sr_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1522935905&sr=8-6&keywords=bread%2Bprotein&th=1
I usaly get in in most super markets in germany...
Flax seed has it, I like https://www.amazon.com/Mestemacher-Bread-Protein-Ounce-Pack/dp/B00T72S8EW/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1506903523&sr=8-2&keywords=mestemacher&th=1
Marshmallow Froot Loops, my brother. Money to be made.
Mind you, they are also available on Amazon for $31.96 per box. Why oh why does Amazon do this.
https://www.amazon.ca/Kelloggs-Froot-Loops-Marshmallow-12-6-Ounce/dp/B001E6EJSS
Edit: the Amazon offering is for four boxes, so not so terrible.
Shit yesterday i went grocery shopping, and my wife asked me to find a cereal for our daughter.
I was expecting it to be the typical 10 minutes of trying to find something we haven't had over and over and over..., Well, the first thing I laid eyes on was This,.. Friggin Froot Loops with Fruity Marshmallows! That was the fastest I've ever Chosen a Cereal, yes they're as awesome as you think they would be, i tried them this morning.
I think I will go for this. Is this the one? How does it taste?
Still available:
Amazon
WalMart
and probably in your local store.
http://www.amazon.com/Bobs-Red-Mill-Steel-24-Ounce/dp/B004VLVBVG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371107549&sr=8-1&keywords=steel+cut+oats
Says 1/4 cup is 170 cal. Not sure what oats you're looking at, but most irish/scottish/steel cut oats match those nutritional values.
Well, these are the first non-Quaker oats I've ever had, and I don't have the package. Here's a link. I don't actually know what steel cut are like, but these have an awesome texture. They cook just as fast as Quaker's instant - I just use the scalding hot water out of our water coolers at work and they're ready in less than a minute. Better flavor and texture than Quakers by far.
not even this?
http://www.amazon.com/Kashi-GOLEAN-Crunch-Cereal-15-Ounce/dp/B001E5E08S
Was it this? https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Path-Organic-Granola-Pumpkin/dp/B001EO5RFE (Amazon link as I can't find a working listing on Costco.com). They were sampling it in my store a few days ago. It's also one of my favorites...when it goes on sale I always stock up. Costco has a couple of other granola type cereals too, so I may be wrong.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001V78QPC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Y-yZCb4VFWXPC

Its called shredded wheat in USA. Ours come in small "bails", sometimes with a layer of dried frosting on one side, if you're lucky.

Lol, 4.5 stars and bajillion reviews for this stuff on Amazon
If heaven is a box half-full with berries, what would you call this?
She looks like a deeply ass version of boobery

No you didn't, you just put a big buscuit from the Origional Style large shreeded wheat cerial in your bowl.
