Читать книгу Diabetes cookbook And Meal Prep for Beginners - Esther Karen - Страница 5

A diabetic diet plan can be a simple plan and may not require you to give up your best foods. There are so many myths and facts that we need to keep aside. Know what works and what doesn't is a bold step towards having a great meal plan.

Myth: keep away from sugar at all costs.

Fact: enjoy all you want with adequate planning and keep hidden sugars to the barest minimum. Desserts don't have to suck just because you are on a diet.

Myth: You need to cut down more and more carbs.

Fact: there is a reason for size during food serving. Choose healthy carbs instead. The focus should be shifted to whole grain foods instead. Limit or eliminate starchy carbs.

Myth: you need to eat special meals.

Fact: the principle behind the diabetic diet remains the same. You don't have to get accustomed to high-end foods. If it's affordable and among the healthy foods to go for, then go for it.

Myth: it's better to feed on a high-protein diet

Fact: Studies have revealed that our bodies develop insulin resistance when we feed so much protein to it. A healthy approach would be to eat fats, carbohydrate and proteins. All three contribute to an overall healthy lifestyle.

A diabetic diet is not about a particular food but your overall health. This is the right approach. Aim to meet the optimal health conditions, and you will love this diet.
