How often do you eat them? I have several jars that I bought but I rarely
think to eat them. And while they used to be commonly put on your plate
when you ordered a burger or sandwich in a restaurant, they rarely are here
any more. So once I can stop writing down my food intake for the day, I'm
going to make more of an effort to eat them. But right now eating anything
extra is a PITA because there's no room on my paper to write the food down.

Used to be that pickles were always on the list of daily menu plans for
diabetics. Perhaps because they are fat free and low in calories. But I
rarely see anyone eating them now.

I eat bread n butter cucumbers most days. Hand-sized rye crackers spread
with cottage cheese and topped with tomato, FGBP and the cucumbers.
Addicted to it

I love my dill pickles. they always serve them here with burgers and many
sandwiches(which I get without the bread). WhenI buy a jar I willhave
them either with dinner or as a snack. I did find some artificially
swetened sweet ghirkins wich I use in a fish salad recipe of my Mother's
that is a lovely dish for lunch guests. Unfortunately, these are hard to
find .

My 7 year old granddaughter and I love our homemade pickles. No vinegar,
just brine, garlic, a little hot Thai pepper and some fresh dill from Jun's
garden.

Is the brine just salt and water then?

Hi Julie,

I use Raley's Full circle Organic Dill pickles in my
lunches. The Vinegar is a bit strong. So they take a
bit to eat. Allows the rest of my lunch to catch up
with me. Love them with a bite of cheese. I try not
to eat them at home so I won't get tired of them.

I also LOVE Trader Joe's Organic Dill sandwich slices
on my Cave Man sandwiches. (Sub lettuce for bread.)
These pickles are sliced long ways, so they are
quick to make up a sandwich.

I think one of the main problem with Cave Man cooking
is the lack of variety. Can't eat the same things over
and over.

Oh, both the pickles I spoke of use Turmeric for color.
No dyes or excytotoxins. (Turmeric is actually good for
us too.)

Sorry, I don't know what Cave Man cooking is. But I do tend to eat the same
things over and over.

Eating before the dawn of agriculture. In other words,
this Type 2 stuff didn't happen to us before humans
discovered beer, and created the agriculture to support it.
We humans were never designed to handle the amount of
carbohydrates that hybridized grains and roots brought us.

I call it "cave man cooking" for short.

I don't know that it didn't. Diabetes certainly dates back long before I
was ever born. They used to diagnose it by tasting the urine. Diabetics
urine tasted sweet. And I don't think they had any way to tell what type we
had prior to somewhat recent testing methods.

As for the other stuff... I don't buy it.

And I call it a diet that I could never eat.

Hi Julie,

You have to, or body parts will start to fall off.
Make it fun! You get to annoy the food nazis! You get
to eat MEAT and BUTTER without guilt!

I am having a blast. Of course, I need to get my
cooking skill down.

The alternative is to be an extra in a zombie movie.

Speaking of pickles, I save the jar of pickle juice
after consuming the pickles. When Organic Persian
cucumbers come back in season at Trader Joe's, I cut
them in half and soak them in the pickle juice. Takes
about a week.
