Since I was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 11, my diet has changed dramatically. I maintain my current healthy weight with a great diet/diet plan. If you are planning to lose more than a weight loss stone then, I will visit your doctor for more tips on how to do this without risk.
I have been diabetic for seven years now, but to tell you that the way I maintain a complete weight would be completely wrong for me. However, I can advise you to follow my steps because I know what works and what doesn't. Before I really start, I should also say I was raised by great parents who taught me to eat everything, so I did! If you don't like something, there are plenty of other recipes for diabetes and ideas to eat and appreciate.
I am a university student and would like to buy a new and live product where I live. I believe this is important because it can be very good for your body and contains more nutrients and vitamins than most storing products.
I like to produce food at my farmer market every two weeks in town, selling amazing meat and dairy products as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. This is another important thing to remember that eating fruits and vegetables in their season means that they will taste better and do you good.
I have a great influence on Western European food (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 straight forward.
I read a lot of diary books and recipes/diabetics, and came to the conclusion that I think it really works. I included all the good things from food (but not all foods), and I included my own. I call this my Juvenile Diabetes Healthy Diet!
The "rules" I would set out were as follows:
1. Cut back on snacks and change the type of snack you eat.
Certainly, my big drop even though it didn't look good on me. When I started University, I had little or no routine, meaning that filling my day was hard, and going out of the kitchen to get a meal, no matter how healthy it was, was a normal occurrence.
This is one of the hardest things to do for other people, but establishing a good routine is important for major diabetic care.
The types of snacks you should eat are nuts without salt, dried fruit without sugar, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables (I like fresh red peppers and cucumbers), dark chocolate (rich and good and you only want two squares).
2. Reduce the white flour and oil the whole carbs.
This is a very important part of your diet and something that can show a significant increase in weight loss. Some foods actually just focus on this point and are very effective. Wholemeal (especially stoneground wholemeal) is very good for you and has so much flavor in it that switching is much easier than you think.
Most people are amazed at the distances you can find in your supermarket, and remember that the best bread is the newest one with small preservatives or additional ingredients. Also, red or basmati rice is great with a nice nut texture.
The wholemeal pasta is good, and with your potatoes, I would totally recommend fresh potatoes.
3. Stop drinking cocktails, start drinking wine.
Cocktails are full of sugar, colors, and preservatives. As a student, I had a lot of habits of going out without drinking cocktails, so my choice was the Malibu and Diet Coke beverage if I felt I had to drink something and do it all night.
Then I would add Diet Coke (almost no sugar in it), and it looks like I'm drinking Malibu, who will know.
When you go out to a restaurant, red wine is much better than anything else you can order (other than water anyway!) And it has been proven that red wine anti-oxidants are good for keeping the heart-healthy. The recommended amount is one glass a day for your dinner.
4. Start cooking more fruits and vegetables.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are a great way to get all the vitamins and minerals you need. And there are so many ways to cook vegetables, but I find that raw is the most closely followed steamed.
Both methods retain all of their natural beauty as well. I will follow this post on alternative diabetes recipes.
5. Drink extra water.
I know you've heard people say this many times before, but the benefits of drinking extra water are endless. A few tips for getting extra of water in your day for the first time is to put water bottles in every area you enter the house or work.
So keep one on your desk, at your table, glass in the kitchen, bedroom, living room, etc. Try to drink all of these glasses up, and you will be on your way to 8 glasses a day.
The idea is to add a glass every few days. However, if you try to drink all that water at once, you will not tend to drink eight glasses again, hopefully! Have a walk, it's amazing how beautiful you will feel.
