Discover how to properly feed on diabetes

It is no longer easy to eat properly when you do not have the diseases involved. Besides doubts about what is right or wrong, it is very difficult to give up those foods that are known to be unhealthy, but which are very tasty. Worse still is to be able to consume these delicacies in small quantity. These difficult situations become much more evident in people with diabetes, because the doubts are greater and the restrictions more complex.

Diabetes is the disease where diet plays a major role in treatment. No medication scheme works well without a proper diet. Often, we can even normalize the sugar rates of patients without an ideal diet, but it will always be at the expense of much larger doses of the medication.

The carbohydrate barrier

Most people with diabetes know that carbohydrates are not welcome in their diets, but they have no idea what foods are high in carbohydrates. In general, they recognize bread, rice, and sugar as banned.

First, carbohydrates are not banned and, on the contrary, should be part of every meal of the day. This is important as it is practically impossible to make a healthy meal without them. Thus, these nutrients are present in milk, breakfast cereals, crackers, fruit, jellies, rice, potatoes, corn, cassava, flour, vegetables, pasta, beans and even in diet desserts.

It is important to understand that carbohydrates are different from one another. Some of them rapidly raise blood glucose and are called "simple". The largest representative of this group is sugar and it is good to clarify that it is not only in the sugar bowl, but in honey and fruits in general. So an orange juice without added sugar can raise the blood glucose in the same way as a sweet.

There is another group of carbohydrates, called "complexes", which differ from the first group because they cause a slower glucose rise . These nutrients, in moderate amounts, allow glycemic corrections to be made by the body or the medications used. In addition, its full versions make this process even easier. The main components of this group are breads, rice, oats and other cereals such as potatoes, corn, cassava, pasta and all foods prepared with wheat flour.

To achieve and maintain a healthy diet it is necessary to understand that a diet reflects a lifestyle. A way of living well.

Proteins and fats

Reducing too much of the carbohydrate in the diet necessarily leads to an increase in protein and fat. This is a common mistake in the diet of patients with diabetes. The proteins present in milk and dairy products, meat and eggs should also have well defined limits in the diets of these patients. In excess, they are deleterious to the kidneys and usually carry large amounts of saturated fat. It does not matter that fat is not visible in red meat, as it will invariably be present in this food group.

Brazilian diet is naturally rich in red meat and can become even worse in people who try to remove carbohydrates from their dish. The ideal would be to reduce the size of the steak and diversify the protein with the use of chicken and fish.

Fats are having the greatest reformulation in diets at all times. This mainly includes diabetics. Today, we know that in addition to being fundamental, the so-called unsaturated fats have protective health effects. We are talking not only of olive oil and canola oil, but also of soybean and sunflower oils. As for saturated and hydrogenated fats, the stringency of the restriction was maintained.These new recommendations support the maintenance of the use of vegetable oils in the preparation of food, and there is no advantage in cooking without them. Contrary to popular belief, the traditional practice of stewing food with vegetable oils can be beneficial to health, provided moderate use.

The difficult goal of eating in moderation

More difficult than understanding the rules of good eating are to follow them. A goal almost impossible. Easier not to eat than to eat little. A real torment. Unfortunately, the biggest food error not only of the person with diabetes, but of people in general, is the excessive consumption of food. This type of behavior explains most of the restrictions and rigors of a diet. There are no arguments against claims that the pleasure of eating is too great and that a small portion is totally out of the question. What we are trying to do is to provide a food diet that can improve satiety and thereby reduce the large volumes consumed.

To achieve and maintain a healthy diet it is necessary to understand that a diet reflects a lifestyle. A way to live well. This is only possible through behavioral changes in many other sectors than food choices.
