- Hello, my name is Lola Cunico
and I am a certified diabetes educator.
- And I'm Kelley Coffeen,
home economist and food consultant.
- Today we're gonna make
some great recipes for lunch.
- And lunch can be challenging, you know,
we're always on the go,
so you've got to take time to plan
and select the proper
ingredients for a healthy lunch.
- You're right, Kelley,
it's very important
to have protein, vegetables, and carbs
for a balanced lunch.
Let's get ready to make lunch.
- Yeah, let's do lunch.
(jazzy music)
- [Narrator] Tasty Solutions for Diabetes
uses three main concepts
for its recipes and menus.
Concept number one,
Eat a variety of nutritious foods.
Eat foods packed with
vitamins and minerals
as opposed to foods that
contain mostly fats,
sugars, and starches.
Foods that are nutrition
superstars, include
leafy green vegetables,
fruits, whole grains, beans,
lean meats, nuts, and
low-fat dairy products.
Concept number two,
Balance high carb foods
with lower carb foods.
Foods are made up of
three energy nutrients:
Carbohydrates, or carbs for short,
proteins, and fats.
Each of these play an important role
in maintaining a healthy body,
so it's not a good idea
to cut out any of these
nutrients completely,
but eating carbohydrates
makes our blood sugar,
or blood glucose levels, go up.
A person who does not have diabetes
will release insulin
to keep the blood sugar
from going too high.
Unfortunately, people with diabetes
have to help their bodies keep blood sugar
at a healthy level
because their bodies don't produce
or properly use insulin.
So it's important to control
your carbohydrate intake.
The key is to choose some
foods higher in carbs
and some foods lower
in carbs at each meal.
Usually about half and
half is a good balance.
The third concept we need to emphasize
is portion size.
In today's super-sized world,
huge portion sizes have become the norm.
A key to calorie and carbohydrate control
is to eat reasonable portions.
For each recipe, we'll
show what a reasonable
portion size looks like for the recipe
and other items on the menu.
Now, back to the kitchen.
(jazzy music)
- The first recipe we're gonna do today
is our version of a Southwest sandwich.
- No, my version of the--
- [Kelley] Well, it's my version.
- [Lola] I think I made the recipe.
- But anyway, we're gonna do it
and we're gonna show it to you together.
- And the first thing,
instead of sliced bread,
we're gonna use tortillas,
low-carb tortillas.
- [Lola] Right.
- So, you wanna keep your tortilla moist,
you want to put something on it,
some type of a dressing or a mayonnaise.
They have a new light mayonnaise out,
but they're all flavored.
And this one happens to
be wasabi horseradish,
so we're gonna--
- [Lola] Wuh-saab-ee!
- [Kelley] Yeah, so we're gonna use
some flavored mayonnaises,
we're gonna do a turkey breast.
- [Lola] Right.
- [Kelley] Okay, just a
deli-style turkey breast.
- And you can buy low-sodium turkey breast
at the deli now too,
so if you do have high blood pressure,
that would be a good idea.
- Okay, and then, of
course, we've got avocado,
we want to have some of the good fats.
- [Lola] Right, and it's
about a fourth of an avocado.
- Fourth of an avocado
and then lots of crunch.
We're gonna do, this is--
- [Lola] And bad breath.
- We're just gonna do a
light, just a little bit
of pepper, and this is just a
yellow pepper that you can buy
- [Lola] Wait, Kelley,
I love a lot of pepper.
- [Kelley] You can put a
lot of pepper, there's no
problem with putting a lot of
crunch in your tortilla wrap.
And, of course, we've got red onion,
and I like to do, you
can do any kind of onion,
but I like the flavor of red
onions, but I like the color.
And then, we also want
to use a good lettuce
that's easy to roll, and
this is a green leaf.
So, your green leaf is great.
- [Lola] And it has more
nutrients than iceberg lettuce
because the greener it is,
the better it is for you.
- Right. The other thing
that we do to add flavor
is you can do your red
bell pepper roasted,
and that roasted flavor is wonderful.
So I'm gonna go ahead and
just take some of this
red roasted bell pepper
and put it over here
so we can add that to our recipe today.
- Great.
- Alright, so let's start
with this flavored mayonnaise.
And probably what, just a tablespoon.
Alright, and we'll just
spread that around,
and if you'll grab some of the--
- [Lola] Turkey?
- Well, you know what,
let's start with the,
I want some crunchy on the outside,
so let's do a little bit
of the green leaf lettuce,
and I like to make it, yeah,
go all the way to the edges.
Cause you wanna have
crunch all the way through.
Okay, and then we can do our turkey.
And you know, the deli style turkey breast
is really what you want.
And you want it sliced thin
so that you can roll it.
- [Lola] Could you also
use the shredded turkey?
- [Kelley] Sure. Now you
can do your avocados.
- And avocados have lots
of fiber, and also they
have heart healthy fat
like I mentioned before.
And fat helps to keep you fuller longer
so that you don't get the munchies.
The hottie was supposed
to put the peppers on.
- Is that you? (laughing)
- Yeah.
- So we've got the yellow peppers
that we're gonna put here.
- [Lola] The stinky one does the onions.
- [Kelley] Yeah, go ahead,
put those red onions on, will you?
- [Lola] Not too many, cause
I have to work with you.
- (laughing) But the whole goal here
is to do this as well, very thin,
so that you can roll this.
And the same thing with
your, just do some slices
of those roasted red peppers,
or if you do the fresh ones,
then do them very thin so
that they roll up easily.
Now what I'm doing is I'm
spreading a little bit of this out
because we're gonna roll it
from one side to the other.
And it isn't gonna be easy to roll,
so just know that, and you
just have to work with it,
and then we're gonna put
- Look how beautiful that is.
- Yeah, and we're gonna
put a toothpick on there.
- You want it right in here?
- Yeah, just right there's good.
And then if you're taking it with you,
if you're eating it now,
slice it and enjoy it.
But, if you're taking it with you,
then use some Saran
wrap, some plastic wrap,
and really work it,
because you really want
all those flavors to kinda
spread out on that tortilla.
- [Lola] Kinda like marinate it?
- [Kelley] Yeah! And then,
see how I'm just kinda
rolling it up, you've got
your toothpick in the middle
so be careful of that.
And then this is just really
a great way to pack it
when you're taking it with you somewhere.
- Maybe we should open a restaurant
that's burritos on the go.
- Lola's wrappers.
(laughter)
And there you have it, you've
got your lunch on the go.
- [Lola] The turkey avocado pepper wrap
has about 250 calories, with
about 12 grams of carbs.
But if you include a small apple
and about 8oz of milk,
it comes out to about 400 calories,
with about 45 grams of carbs.
This makes it a very balanced meal.

Don't forget to subscribe to my Youtube channel Don't forget to subscribe to my Youtube channel Have you ever heard of the C-Peptide test? It turns out that your C-Peptide is an important indicator of your diabetes health, and one the most important of all diabetes biomarkers. In this video, we'll cover the basics of C-Peptide biology, explain what it tells you about your body's ability to secrete insulin, how it helps you understand what type of diabetes are you living with, as well as where and how to get your C-Peptide tested easily. What Exactly is C-Peptide? When the beta cells in your pancreas secrete insulin, they secrete it as a molecule known as "proinsulin." Proinsulin is an immature version of insulin, that's comprised of an alpha-chain, a beta-chain, and a C-peptide connector. Now, when C-peptide is removed from the proinsulin molecule, proinsulin turns into insulin. And insulin has very specific and powerful biological activity in your blood...

I've lost family members at the hands of disease. My mum is an example which I find incredibly difficult to talk about. The reason why I'm doing this documentary comes down to my mum. I've got no brothers, I've got no sisters, I've got no father, I didn't know him. My mum was my mother, my father, my brother, my sister, my world. And she's now no longer with us. She actually had stage IV lung cancer. They said she had COPD and they gave her an Asthma pump. Even if the doctor thought she had COPD, I thought: there has to be another way! Let's get to the cause of the problems instead of treating the symptom. My mother saw this place before it was built. We stood here, she said: "You have to build this."
