If you eat poptarts do you prefer them not heated up or heated up?

@4meAndyou I don't eat them anymore either. Total diabetes trap, not to mention nearly no nutrition. I make my own now, with much more healthy ingredients and not nearly so sugary.

@faery I don't eat any baked goods except for multi-grain bread, and once in a great while, a corn muffin. My doctor put me on the no-white diet.

@4meAndyou I'm gluten-free now, so no wheat and a host of other gluten-rich grains anymore and it's been fabulous for my health in every way. I rarely bake so I eat a ton of all kinds of rice and occasional potatoes and corn-based starches, like masa and polenta. It's been amazing for my waistline and cholesterol.

@faery I had severe stomach issues a couple of years ago, so I also went gluten free for a while. I used almond flour and coconut flour, but rice, corn, and potatoes were on my no-no list.

@4meAndyou Everybody's body is unique for what works best, I guess. Going gluten-free and low-fodmap fixed all my gut issues. I'd like to try coconut flour for an upside down pineapple cake. Bet that would be so, so good.

@faery It wasn't that I couldn't eat all those things...it was that my doctor wanted me on the no-white diet. No rice, no potatoes, no white flour, no sugar, no fun...🤣🤣🤣

@4meAndyou I hope it gets you results because it does sound a little rough 😆

@faery I eat multi grain bread, but I try to skip bread whenever possible because they use white flour to make it...otherwise it would not rise. I DO eat a lot of beans. AND I eat whole wheat Panko bread crumbs, because the gluten free ones are made from rice.

Dinner might consist of a salad and soup, or chicken, stir fried with veggies...or fish with panko bread crumbs and two cooked veggies on the plate. Sometimes I make my own baked beans without sugar, and I add some ham. That makes a perfect lunch.

@4meAndyou It does take a lot to make a gluten-free bread rise. I've gotten good at making biscuits, though, and pancakes. I need to get some of those gluten-free panko bread crumbs for my gluten-free mac n cheese, which is a once-in-a-while treat!

While our diets are different, the commonality is low carb. Low-carb eating is the key!
