Ok so i know ive posted this on the board about me before, but briefly: I have PCOS which is a hormonal disorder and one of the many side effects of it is my body doesnt quite regulate my blood sugar properly. Last fall i went on a very strict diet and essentially removed anything that had refined sugar from my diet (exception: if iwent out to eat or something). Then i moved to the south and i think the change of pace combined with just being bored of the food i was eating on my diet made it so i strayed from my diet... and no shocker i gained back all the weight i lost (ive never been overweight... but i was super fit before the move). Well for the past month or so ive been trying to go back to a diet similar to the one i was on before.
Also, you may remember i posted a couple times a while back flipping out because i thought i had a UTI because i had to pee all the time. turns out i never had a uti, but i do have kidney damage (a symptom of pcos).
so yesterday and today i broke the diet. i was craving sweet stuff and bananas just wouldnt cut it so i gave in and bought some cereal. and dont kid yourself, even the cereals that look healthy are loaded with sugar... i beleive that sugar is third on the ingredient list for Life cereal. Well today i felt like hell... and i had to pee a lot too... i am uninsured but as the minute clinic dr suggested, the frequent urination is almost definitely due to the the up and down blood sugar that i have.
so my question: before when i went on a strict diet it was a lot easier. i used to crave the greasy stuff. like french fries, hamburgers, all that bad stuff. and i found a lot of foods that could satisfy those cravings that were not processed and unhealthy. But now for some reason i have a sweet tooth. like i crave the processed sugars and stuff. Cereal, cookies, cake... all of hte fat kid stuff that is extra bad since my body obviously CANNOT handle the processed sugar at all. it has to go... the way i felt today made this apparent.
so girls, i need your best recipes for stuff to cure the sweet tooth that wont kill me. and on another note, i cant believe that this is so addicting. i dont have an addictive personality at all typically, but for whatever reason, when i have a sugar craving it is very hard to ignore. idk what the hell is wrong with me lately but yea, sugar needs to be gone from my diet.
ETA: Just foods is fine instead of recipes. i actually am not a splendid cook, so if it is something that doesnt require talent or preparation, all the better.
