Since I was diagnosed with diabetes at 11 years of age, my diet has changed dramatically. I maintain my current healthy weight with a healthy diet / diet plan. If you are planning to lose weight I will visit your doctor for more tips on how to do this without risk.
I have had diabetes for seven years, but telling you how to maintain a healthy weight would be a complete mistake for me. However, I would advise you to follow my steps because I know what works and what doesn't work. Before I get started I have to say I was raised by great parents who taught me to eat everything, and I do that! If you do not like something, there are many other recipes for diabetes and ideas that you can eat and enjoy.
I am a university student and would like to buy a new and natural product where I live. I believe this is very important because it can be very good for your healthy body and contains more nutrients and vitamins than most supermarket products. I love finding food at my two-week farmer market in the city, which sells amazing meat and dairy products as well as fruit and vegetables for the new season. This is another important thing to remember, that eating fruits and vegetables on time means they will taste better and good. I have a huge influence on Western European Cuisine (especially France and Italy) as you will tell, but I do not mean that I am a chef and everything is easy to make and very easy.
I read a lot of diary books and recipes / diabetics, and came to the conclusion that I think it really works. I put all the good stuff in the food (but not all the food) and put my own together. I call this the Juvenile Diabetes Healthy Diet!
The “rules” that I will set out are as follows:
1. Limit light foods and change the type of food you eat.
Certainly my biggest fall though was not visible to me. When I started University, I had little or no habit which meant filling my day was hard and going to the kitchen to get a snack, no matter how healthy, was common. This is one of the most difficult things for some people to do, but establishing a good routine is essential for great diabetic care and health. The types of snacks you can eat are ground nuts, sugar-free dried fruit, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables (I like fresh red peppers and cucumbers), dark chocolate (rich and delicious and you only need two squares).
2. Reduce white flour and absorb whole carbohydrates.
This is a very important part of your diet, and something that can indicate a significant increase in weight loss. Some foods actually jsut focus on this point, and are very effective. Wholemeal (especially stoneground wholemeal) is so beautiful and has so much flavor in it that switching is much easier than you think. Many people are really surprised at how far you can find in your store, and remember that whole wheat bread is one with a few perservatives or ingredients.Also, brown or basmati rice is great with a beautiful nuts texture.Wholemealal pasta is good and for your potatoes I would totally recommend fresh potatoes.
3. Stop drinking cocktails.
Cocktails are full of sugar, dyes and preservatives. As a student I usually go out without drinking cocktails, so my favorite drink is Malibu and Diet Coke when I feel like I have to drink something and drink all night. Now I can add with Diet Coke (almost sugar-free) and it looks like I'm drinking Malibu, you know. When you leave the restaurant, red wine is much better than anything else you can order, (except water! The recommended amount is one glass a day for your dinner.
4. Start eating more fruits and vegetables.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are the best way to get all the vitamins and minerals you need.And there are many different ways to cook vegetables, but I find that raw is the best way to cook. Both methods retain all their natural beauty as well. I will follow this post in another post about recipes for diabetes.
5.Drink more water.
I know you've heard people say this many times before, but the benefits of drinking plenty of water are endless. Here are a few tips on how to get extra water for your day for the first time to put water bottles everywhere you go home or work. So keep one on your desk, on your desk, glass in the kitchen, in the bedroom, in the living room, etc. Try and drink all these glasses and you will be on your way to drinking 8 glasses a day. The trick is to add a glass every few days or more, if you try to drink all that water at once you will not be more inclined to drink 8 glasses again, trust me! Go, it's amazing how beautiful you will feel.
