The holidays are over, but the craving for something tasty remains. How can you lose another 15 kg, especially with age and type 2 diabetes?
The answer is not strict dieting, but smart, enjoyable choices. It’s time to start a new weight-loss marathon, and the first week is cottage cheese week.
One of the best breakfasts is cottage cheese with Icelandic-style Skyr yoghurt, fresh or frozen raspberries, and a small spoon of peanut butter. It’s satisfying, balanced, and diabetes-friendly. The calorie count is reasonable, while the nutrients support blood sugar control, muscle health, and long-lasting energy.
