I am a diabetic, there are many things that I cannot eat that I enjoy! I have substituted BOCA products for meat in chili, soup, pasta and tacos. I happen to enjoy BOCA and have been eating their products for years! Being diabetic, with no health insurance, is difficult. I cannot afford my meds, doctor visits, test strips, and blood work that needs to be done. I basically have to just hope that I'm eating right. I eat mostly meat, cheese, veggies and berries. Lots of protein. BOCA gives me the satisfaction of eating healthy, and the sensation of being full. Granted, I cannot eat a BOCA burger on a bun because of the carbs associated with the bread, I still get full. I have had to almost completely had to cut out bread, pasta, rice and potatoes over the last few days. I'll have to remain like this until I can afford health insurance. Although BOCA is a bit higher priced, for my health, it is worth it. My goal this year is to eat healthier, keep my sugar levels where they should be and lose 60 lbs. BOCA gives you the protein, vitamins and minerals necessary to your body's daily needs. I've even used a BOCA burger as sausage for breakfast, just add some different seasonings to it, and it tastes just like sausage. The way I have to eat now, opposed to 4 yrs ago, is much different. I have a stong appetite, I fill myself with cheese, veggies, berries and lean meats. I love red meat, but it's not very good for me. I try very hard to take care of myself, I just don't have the means to do it. I would love to get a gym membership where I can have a trainer help me. I need to lose 10% of my body weight to help control my diabetes, my goal is to triple that this year! I need to be in good health, I want to be in good health, this can help me to have a great start, and possibly even help me not be diabetic anymore... which would be a wish come true for me!
