    Woof. Yeah I forgot to mention I’m also trying to cut back on added sugars just to play it safe after reading The Case Against Sugar and having two diabetics in the family.

    The only gluten-free, dairy free, sugar-free thing I can reliably make is a tofu scramble; and the only cereal-like thing that comes close is “Scottish Oatmeal” or just gluten-free oatmeal. What to eat when I’m in a rush and headed out the door? Still working on that one.

      near-vegan and low carb are hard to do, but diet doctor has guidance https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto/vegetarian

      from what i’ve learned about the Randle Cycle, the one thing you don’t want to do is mix Carbohydrates and Fats; Either go low-carb (ketogenic), or low-fat (rice diet) at each meal. That should help keep the diabetes away. The good news is that very low carb diets have recently been demonstrated in reversing 40% of type 2 diabetes cases.
