BEST Diabetic Zucchini Bread EVER

Zucchini Bread

2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup wheat germ
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp each ground nutmeg, mace, and cloves
½ cup skim milk
¼ cup vegetable oil
6 packets Sweet-N-Lo sugar substitute (or 2 tsp bulk version)
½ cup sugar
4 egg whites (or scant ½ cup liquid egg substitute)
3 cups shredded unpeeled zucchini

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray one 9x5 inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients up to the milk. In a large bowl, combine milk, oil, Sweet-N-Lo, sugar and egg whites. Stir in dry ingredients and zucchini. Blend well.
  2. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack 5 minutes before removing from pan. Cool completely on the rack. Makes one large loaf.

Cut loaf into 14 slices. Each slice is 180 calories, 5 g protein, 5 g fat, 30 g carbohydrates, 0 mg cholesterol, 278 mg sodium.

Diabetic exchanges: 2 starch/bread, 1 fat.

Note from Lena: Nowhere else in all my years of searching have I found a better recipe that's both easy and the results are so sweet, moist, and delicious. My only caution is to be sure you use young zucchini less than 8" in length. Anything longer than 12" is bitter.

Forgiving Myself and Literally Moving On

Okay, I confess. You haven't seen much of me lately because I've been naughty. I fell off the wagon and piled on ten pounds. Could I blame stress? Yeah, but the point is that no one put a gun to my head and made me eat more carbs. I did it. I think the point is to forgive myself and get back on the bandwagon. There will be days like today (Thanksgiving) where I'll indulge. However, I can say no to certain things like mashed potatoes and dressing and say yes to things like more turkey. I had just a sliver of pumpkin pie instead of pigging out. For me, total denial means I get resentful and eventually defiant. Giving in to a little and having what I want in reasonable portions means I avoid a self-hating binge in secret later. So, now I have to come up with strategies to increase my calorie burn when I can't control what I eat. That means increasing my exercise. That's as easy as getting out of the chair. I can take a walk or dance to my MP3 player. I can do a lot of ...

Is Humiliation Part of the Treatment?

Just how much humiliation am I supposed to take? Today was a group session at the surgeon’s. You know what I learned? What an ass one of the surgeons is. That’s it. After the weigh in, in which I gained a whole half-pound, we had the usual and repetitive lecture on how important it is we shrink our livers. I was feeling pretty good about my weight, actually. I’d had a full bladder and heavy winter clothing on, but the scale said only half a pound. I could live with that. I knew also I’d had a few too many macadamia nuts over the past few days and vowed to cut them out. Finally, the surgeon appeared. He was as handsome as rumor had claimed. I had a hard time understanding his accent, since he was from South Africa. The Afrikaners I’ve known can seem to mumble a bit to our American ears. I’d had an Afrikaner teacher back in real estate school and I’d adored him, so I was prepared to like the surgeon, Dr. Cywes. How wrong I was. After introducing himself and matching faces to files, he im...
