Controlled diabetes diet , may also help to reverse diabetes. It needs planning so that what is eaten is controlled in terms of what is consumed and how much.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) released The Diabetes Food Pyramid which is composed of six good groups (arranged according to how much should be eaten from the least to the most based on carbohydrate and protein content). Use this to help create a controlled diabetes diet.
This is The Diabetes Food Pyramid
· Fats, sweets and alcohol
· Milk
· Meat, meat substitutes and other proteins
· Fruits
· Vegetable
· Grains, beans and starchy vegetables
These are the serving sizes recommended by the American Diabetes Association
· Milk 2-3 servings a day
· Fruit 2-4 servings a day
· Vegetables 3-5 servings a day
Grains and starches 6-11 servings a day, equivalent to 1 slice of bread, ¼ of a bagel or ½ of an English muffin or pita bread.
A word about Sweets – foods may be sweetened with the followi
ng options
Honey, brown sugar, molasses, fructose, cane sugar and confectioners’ sugar
Reduced calorie sweeteners, erythritol, hydrogenated starch hydolysates, isomalt, lactitol, maltitol, mannitol,sorbitol and xykitol
Low calorie sweeteners, ascelfume, potassium, aspartame, saccharin and sucralose
Research has overturned the long standing belief that sugar causes diabetes. The new studies show us that sugar has in fact the same effect on blood glucose levels as other carbohydrates like potatoes and bread. Based on this discovery experts agree that a diabetic can now consume sugar as long as they incorporate it into their meal plan the way they would with any ordinary carbohydrate-containing foods.
By incorporating some these tips its possible for a diabetic to live a healthier fuller life where nothing – no carb or sweets – are forbidden, as long as it is controlled, everything in moderation, in other words a controlled diabetes diet.
