Planned snack

Post by wmc1231 » Tue Jun 29, 2010 12:25 pm

I am new to this program and am diabetic. Sometimes my blood sugar drops very low if too many hours goes by without eating. I was wondering if planning a healthy snack late day such as fruit and or vegetables, maybe as a 4th mini meal would be allowable under these circumstances. It doesnt happen all the time but when it does it would be very difficult to wait for the next meal.
thanks!!

Absolutely.

From the home page:
I love the No S Diet, but my doctor says I need to eat 4/5/6 meals a day because of my medical condition!

The No S Diet has a little known loophole just for you. If you look closely at the site, you'll notice that nowhere does it specify the actual *number* of meals. Now most people will make a certain assumption, and most people had better stick with that assumption. But if you have a medical condition that requires you to eat more often, you can still do so and be a proud No S dieter. Just make sure to figure out what number of meals is right for you, stick with it (no changing the magic number every day), and invest in some really small plates. And talk to your doctor, of course. As for the rest of you, pretend you never read this. It's for people with doctor's notes only.
Best of luck and keep us posted,

Reinhard
