help? + a recipe for you

Hi!

 

Does anyone have low carb veggie recipes? I am dealing with prediabetes.

" Metabolic syndrome " they call it. I have to get my lipids and cholesterol

counts better and keep the sugar low. I am walking 1.5-2 miles three times a

week. (Will work up to more days as I lose weight. My back kills!)

 

With all the veggies and fruit here in NY I should be able to get slimmed at

least a little!

Here is one from me:

 

Ten-Minute Gazpacho - Makes 4 servings.

 

* 2 cups tomato juice, preferably reduced-sodium

* 2 garlic cloves, chopped

* 2 tsp. olive oil

* 2 Tbsp. bread crumbs

* 1/2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar

* Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

* 1/4 cup seeded and diced cucumber

* 1/4 cup finely diced green bell pepper

* 1 plum tomato, seeded and finely diced

* 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

* 1/4 cup zucchini, finely diced (optional)

* 1 hard boiled egg white, finely chopped (optional)

 

In a blender, purée tomato juice, garlic and olive oil. Add bread crumbs and

vinegar, and blend to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour

into a covered container and chill well, from 2 hours to overnight.

 

When ready to serve, adjust seasonings if necessary. Divide soup among 4

serving bowls. Add 1 Tbsp. each of diced cucumber, pepper, tomato and onion,

plus zucchini and egg white if desired. (Or add diced vegetables to juice

mixture before serving.)

 

Per serving: 70 calories, 3 g. total fat (less than 1 g. saturated fat), 10

g. carbohydrate, 2 g. protein, 1 g. dietary fiber, 97 mg. sodium.
