I have travelled this rd many times before with limited success, always stopping off on my journey even when still losing, to regain what me has lost n more sadly. I would tips, ie simple bland meal ideas that are very low fat n low carb n low sugar, I am diabetic also. I am best operating a 3 meals a day routine, from previous attempts.

I also have a small portion of brown rice to accompany this - you could have instead of the rice a small portion of noodles but its up to you what you want to add.
How To Cook
1. Thinly slice the lemon grass or lemon rind. Peel and chop the ginger and garlic. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Add the lemon grass or lemon rind, ginger and garlic, and stir fry for 30secs until brown.
2. Add the chicken and stir fry for 2 mins. Then add all the vegetables and stir fry for 4-5mins, until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are almost cooked.
3. Finally, stir in the peanuts, oyster sauce, and seasoning to taste. Stir fry for another minute to blend the flavours. Serve at once, sprinkled with the coriander (if you like it it) and accompany meal with small portion of rice.
