Skinny Louisiana with Shelly Marie Redmond

Skinny Louisiana with Shelly Marie Redmond Hi! I am Dietitian Shelly! I am a Louisiana-born, mom of 2 and author of the Skinny Louisiana cookbook series! Welcome to Skinny Louisiana™.

I specialize in helping clients lose weight, lower blood sugar levels, and balancing hormones with yummy foods and meals! Skinny Louisiana™ is a blog with a focus on Louisiana cooking and living with a skinny twist. Skinny Louisiana™ is not recipes that are difficult, complicated, or lengthy (Ie – spending hours in the kitchen). Instead, we share ‘skinny’ and ‘easy’ delicious meals, snacks, and tips all reflecting the best of what Louisiana offers. From Maw Maw’s cooking, to tailgating delights, to grocery store finds, to festival themes, to Cajun and Creole dishes, Skinny Louisiana™ is great for home cooks, new cooks, and foodies looking to celebrate and cook Louisiana dishes with a skinny twist! Skinny Louisiana ™ not only showcases post reflecting ‘skinny’ and healthy Cajun and Creole dishes, but post amazing recipes showcasing great Louisiana products. In the spirit of celebrating, Skinny Louisiana™ will post recipes for a ‘skinny’ Mardi Gras, Lent, and of course, tailgating. Post will also reflect Louisiana food products and the ‘skinny’ selections at our favorite Louisiana restaurants.

Can apple cider vinegar ACTUALLY lower your blood sugar? A Registered Dietitian breaks down the science — no hype, just facts.

Research published in Diabetes Care shows vinegar before meals may improve insulin sensitivity — especially for people with prediabetes or insulin resistance.
Here's the simple habit:
✅ 1–2 tbsp apple cider vinegar diluted in 8 oz of water
✅ Drink it before dinner
✅ The acetic acid slows stomach emptying → blunts your blood sugar spike → better morning numbers
⚠️ Always dilute it. If you're on diabetes medication, check with your doctor first.

Dietitian snack drawer staple 🙌

👉 Simple Truth Spicy Chicken Sticks

Let’s talk about a PROTEIN snack that actually keeps you full 👇

✔️ High protein = helps control hunger
✔️ Super portable (throw in your purse, car, sports bag)
✔️ No prep needed (because we’re busy, y’all 😅)

Because here’s what I see ALL the time…
👉 You hit that 3PM slump
👉 Grab chips or something sweet
👉 Then energy CRASHES

Dietitian Tip 💡
Protein snacks = fewer cravings + better blood sugar control

This is one of those “always have on hand” options 👏

✨ Mom life / work life / travel hack = keep these EVERYWHERE

🌙 Your morning blood sugar is high — and it might not be what you ate for breakfast. Here's the bedtime habit that changes everything.

If your fasting glucose is stubbornly high every morning, you could be dealing with the Dawn Phenomenon — where your liver releases glucose in the early hours before you even wake up. It's NOT your fault, but there ARE things you can do about it tonight.
Research shows that apple cider vinegar can improve insulin sensitivity — try a small amount diluted in water before dinner. And a simple 10-minute walk after dinner puts your muscles to work using that glucose immediately.
Small habits. Real results.

Another dietitian-approved find 👏

👉 Catalina Crunch Granola

If you’ve been told to “just eat granola” for breakfast… we need to talk 😅

Most granola =
🚫 Loaded with sugar
🚫 Low protein
🚫 Blood sugar spike waiting to happen

BUT this one flips the script 👇

✔️ Low sugar
✔️ Higher protein
✔️ Lower carb option
✔️ Still gives you that crunch we all love 🙌

Dietitian Tip 💡
Breakfast should NOT be just carbs

👉 Pair this with Greek yogurt or Fairlife milk for a blood sugar–balanced meal

Because the goal isn’t to cut carbs…
…it’s to BALANCE them 👏

🚨 Dietitian Find Alert 🚨

Y’all… I found a granola that actually checks the boxes 👇

👉 Magic Spoon Protein Granola

And here’s why I’m impressed…

✔️ Higher protein than traditional granola
✔️ Grain-free (hello lower carb option 🙌)
✔️ Crunchy + sweet WITHOUT the sugar overload

Because let’s be real… most granola = basically dessert in disguise 😅

Dietitian Tip 💡
If you love granola but struggle with blood sugar spikes, this is a MUCH better swap

✨ Try it like this:
• On Greek yogurt
• As a snack straight from the bag
• Sprinkle over strawberries for a fiber + protein combo 🍓

Simple swaps = BIG wins for blood sugar control 👏

🚨 Think you're eating healthy? These 7 foods are secretly spiking your blood sugar faster than dessert — and most people have NO idea.

If you're managing prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, what's on your plate matters MORE than you think. Granola, flavored yogurt, fruit juice — these aren't "safe" choices. They digest fast, flood your bloodstream with glucose, and leave you craving more within the hour.

The fix? Build your meals around protein, fiber, and healthy fats to slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar naturally.

🥕 Carrot cake or coconut cake? (low carb of course!)

🥤 Think your morning smoothie is "healthy"? It might be SPIKING your blood sugar.

Blended fruit digests extremely fast — especially without protein. That means a rapid glucose spike, even from "healthy" ingredients.

Here's how to fix your smoothie:
✅ Add Greek yogurt, chia seeds, or protein powder
✅ Or eat WHOLE fruit instead of blending it

Your blood sugar will thank you.

🍓 Dietitian Find: Good Good Jelly

If you love peanut butter and jelly, but want something with less sugar, this is a product worth knowing about.

I like Good Good Jelly because:

✔ No added sugar
✔ Very low net carbs
✔ Sweetened with natural sweeteners
✔ Great option for people watching blood sugar

It’s a fun way to still enjoy things like:

🥜 Peanut butter & jelly sandwiches
🍓 Yogurt bowls
🥯 Toast or low-carb bread
🧀 Even with cream cheese

Remember — eating well doesn’t mean giving up the foods you love. Sometimes it’s just about finding smarter swaps.
