Cutting carbs, fat and calories is a big part of maintaining a healthy diet that can keep your diabetes under control, helping prevent or lessen the experience of side effects like neuropathy (a loss of sensation in the extremities that can make your feet tingle or hurt.)
So many times, making those cutbacks also takes your food’s flavor profile waaaay down…but it doesn’t have to! Spice and seasoning can bring back flavor without heaping on calories. Try this salsa with sautéed chicken or fish for a healthful (AND TASTY) addition!
