With these practical tips, you can start taking control of your diabetes. They are very easy to implement if we set our minds to it.
You should pay close attention to what your dish contains. The food you choose and the amount of the portions you eat.
For your meal, you should fill at least half of your plate with vegetables, a quarter with starches or grains, and a quarter with lean protein. Emphasis should be placed on eating nutrient-rich foods, as well as beverages.
We are used to large portions or amounts of food that we eat. This leads to an increase in calories and extra pounds. We must pay special attention, especially to the fact that these large portions are loaded with refined grains, fats, and sugars like fries or hamburgers, etc.
We need to take a break and start controlling what we eat. Notice which foods we consume the least, such as: vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and dairy products.
- 3. Look for sources of nutritious carbohydrates
We must know how to choose our carbohydrate sources that do not affect our system as much. Foods that we should avoid consuming and are most common for the general population include regular sodas, fruit-based drinks, drinks like coffee or tea to which you occasionally add flavored syrups, candies, cakes, etc.
We should look for more nutritious carbohydrate sources; some sources where we can find them are vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products.
It is very common for people to go out to eat at a restaurant instead of cooking at home. In some places, they do not respect the portion sizes of the food they serve, and at times, they contain a lot of fat and sodium.
It's better to look for recipe options that are not too elaborate but whose ingredients you can find in your kitchen, in addition to being more nutritious.
The basic foods to meet these goals are: frozen fish and seafood, garlic and onion are essential, healthy cooking oil, broth, and finally, herbs, spices, and low-sodium and low-fat seasonings.
