I had a good, solid, vegetarian recipe book for a long time.
Then my spouse became lactose intolerant and my doc said to consider avoiding gluten so as to not trigger the celiac’s I’m susceptible to developing from my genes.
Know how hard it is to find easy-to-make, accessible, gluten-free, near-vegan recipes that aren’t just stir fries and soups? HARD.
The 'specialty' diets are what throws everything out of whack. Everyone who talks about getting enough protein from a vegan diet hasn't ever had to deal with a diabetic. That whole lentil/bean thing really cuts into the limited carbs aspect, and (while it is a symptom of the fucked US healthcare system) makes rationing insulin a near impossibility.
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.
