As with a wheat-free breakfast, including nuts - raw only - with lunch and/or dinner is an easy way to obtain satiety, magnify health benefits, and enjoy something convenient and delicious.
Another basic principal I advocate, especially for the carbohydrate-sensitive, pre-diabetic or diabetic, is to try and add a healthy oil, even in modest quantities, (e.g., one teaspoon), at every meal. Do this, for example, by adding some olive, canola, or flaxseed oil to your soup; eating tuna-in-oil, not in water, or adding your desired oil to the tuna; brushing olive oil on your broiled or grilled vegetables; liberal use of healthy oil-based salad dressings; add olive, canola, or flaxseed oil to hummus, salsa, pico de gallo, or use tapenades and pestos for dips and toppings. This unique strategy generates satiety, blunts insulin responses, minimizes sugar excursions, and is easy and convenient.
As I've urged in past, do not confuse wheat- and cornstarch-free with gluten-free. This is an entirely different issue, though both share a concern over the adverse health effects of wheat.
