Join us tonight, Tuesday, June 29, 2021 for Divabetic on Zoom at 7 PM, EST. Our free one-hour virtual program features ‘What To Wear When Nothing Fits for Summer’ presented by Divabetic Image & Style Advisor, Catherine Schuller and ‘How To Master The Menu at The Cookout’ presented by MaryAnn Nicolay MEd, NDTR.
MaryAnn Nicolay MEd, NDTR’s quick tips for enjoying outdoor picnics without compromising your health include:
- 3-4 servings of carb foods will be around 45-60 grams of carbohydrate. (This falls within the American Diabetes Association carb recommendations per meal.)
- Use your carb servings on foods that you don’t get to eat as often.
- Treat desserts like a snack by eating it 2-3 hours after the main meal.
- Think about the face of a clock when eating pie or a round cake. Instead of having a “15-minute” piece, have a “5-7 minute” piece. This will give you the treat you desire while keeping you closer to your carb goals of less than 30 grams of carb for a snack
- Get up and move, don’t just sit and eat. Go for a walk, play games, have fun!
