A diabetes diet is primarily about what, when, and how much to eat. It is more about devising an eating plan rather than denying nutrients. While preparing an eating plan, remember that taste is not the start and end of eating.
Do not skip breakfasts and count the calories consumed. If you take heavy food in the morning take a lighter meal in the afternoon and do exercises. Rather than taking three meals per day, it's wise to divide the meals into six or seven parts and have it that many number of times.
Your brain takes approximately 20 minutes to register whether you have eaten enough. Eat slowly and you will find that you are automatically eating less than you will otherwise.
Consume lot of fresh vegetables and take in nutrients from 50% of green and red vegetables, 25% each of proteins and starchy carbohydrates. Take carbohydrates that come from whole grain bread, rice, pasta, and potatoes.
Do not go near saturated and trans-fats (hydrogenated oils).Olive oils, nuts and avocados are healthy forms of fats.
Avoid red meats. Salmon and tuna are good sources of animal fats.
