We have found restaurants to be willing to make changes when we are eating out. Ask for your meats to be prepared without oils or butter added. Stick with salads, no croutons or cheese, and vinaigrette dressing on the side. Use 2 teaspoons of dressing. Drink lots of water. Avoid eating the basket of bread or the basket of chips and salsa. Six small meals a day balanced in Carbs and Protein works well. My husband and I lost a combined 120 pounds 5 years ago and have been able to keep it off. Neither of us were diabetic, but if we had continued to eat the way we were, we would have been!
