Okay, he himself couldn't care less, but as I am the cook, I pull the apran strings, so I am looking for recipes of food my husband can eat without me feeling guilty. As soon as it is January, he will go on a diet without knowing it  And this time, we will stick to it too!

I got a lot of links already, but I have to work with what I can get locally here.

How is this for diner suggestions I thought up:
 
Fish, baked in olive oil,  tomatoes, boiled brown rice, no salt (I still don't know why somebody with diabetes should avoid salt.  Perhaps this is a hoax?) lots of pepper and other herbs, garlic and lemonjuice.  The salt is missed enormously here, so what can I do to replace that?

Carrots, boiled,  again brown rice,  green beens, baked with onions, baked eggs. Olive oil ; Parsil.  (I do add salt.)  And pepper.

Basicly, he will be eating all kinds of vegetables boiled and baked, onions, baked;  mushrooms baked, and meat and fish baked. To replace potatoes: always rice....? You see my problem. 

This is to give you an idea. No potatoes, no pastas.  I can't get sweet potatoes so that is no option. A person can't eat rice every day? Well, we can't.

As for desserts- dairy products with no sugar but with some fruit in it.

Sourdough bread with cheese.

This is a bit monotone. So any suggestions are welcome 

dec. 22:  Parsnip! (pastinaak in Dutch)  I never had this, but I saw it in the shop, and as it was wrapped in plastic with info, I learned parsnip is very good for diabetics, as it provides insulin! So I guess that is what we will be eating one of these days.  It is an old root, it was  used before the use of potatoes. Boil it I suppose? The problem is when I tried to find more info, I couldn't find anything that backs up this theory.  First ask the doctor I suppose
