Healthy meal ideas for the family are so hard to think of on the spot! Look no further than this asian inspired fish recipe consisting of steamed cod and crunchy bok choy. Asian recipes are full of nutrient dense ingredients like ginger, and are a perfect addition to your healthy recipes rotation for your family.
When I cook, I typically try to serve my family "lower carb" or "carb-conscious" meals, not restricting by any means, but making sure I balance the carbs served with healthy fats and protein. Kids love carbs (and need carbs with all the energy they're burning all the time!) so the addition of noodles to this dish is perfect. Even though I've been trying my best to decrease my carb intake due to my insulin resistance and pre diabetes, I still allow myself to eat carbs like noodles in moderation, so I definitely got to enjoy some chopstick-fulls!
Follow me on my journey as I attempt to maneuver my insulin resistance and pre diabetes for my physical health, while also trying to balance my mental health, and being the best mom/wife that I could be to my family.
A little bit about my blood sugar journey... I was told I was insulin resistant in 2017 after a glucose tolerance test my reproductive endocrinologist ordered for me when I was having trouble getting pregnant. And after conceiving, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes very early on. Since then, I've been diligently learning about blood sugar dysregulation and gathering data through constant finger pricks and CGM experiments since I am now at greater risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes in the future. I've learned A LOT about what works and doesn't work for my body, and how my body responds to different foods. I hope this video helps you on your path to a healthier lifestyle!
