Hannah Ross realised her diet needed a makeover after she received her diabetes diagnosis.
“I didn’t want boring or monotonous meals,” Hannah says She so developed weekly meal plans with reduced sugar content yet great taste.

Breakfast calls fresh berries and Greek yoghurt topped with chia seeds. Hannah comments, “It’s creamy, satisfying, and naturally sweet.”
Lunch would include hummus, spinach, and a grilled chicken wrap using whole-grain tortillas.
Dinner is quinoa and mixed vegetables in a turkey stir-fry.
Snacks could be boiled eggs or carrot sticks topped with guacamole.
Weekend Delights: Hannah enjoys baking. “I make low-sugar banana bread with stevia and almond flour,” she says. She also likes sweet snacks made from oven-roasted nuts topped with cinnamon.
Notes on Planning: Hannah advises cooking ahead of time to prevent last-minute bad decisions. She counsels keeping lean proteins, nutritious grains, and fresh vegetables stocked in your refrigerator.
Hannah gives inspiration to those reluctant about meal planning: “It’s not as difficult as it seems. Once you develop the habit, you will feel more in charge of your health—and savour every mouthful!
