Just saw a dietitian and my doctor...they look at Carbs..1 serving is 15 carbs....so she said 3 carb servings a meal or 45 carbs...get a carb counting book or look at the ADA (American Diabetic Association) a palm size portion is the size of a portion of meat..it usually counts as 1 carb serving or 15 carbs....vegetables are free...example of breakfast....fruit, cereal, 1 cup of milk...45 carbs, sausage patty, egg, light toast, 3 carb servings...avoid white stuff (sugar, rice, pasta, lots of bread) lots more salads, vegatables, keep your portions of meat smaller but can have more chicken and fish...avoid alot of of red meat. They also have a fast food guide as well...bottom line..eat reasonably and healthy but don't deny yourself to the point of not eating out or enjoying life...men can have more carbs and larger portions...get with a dietician and or your physician and they can help you decide what you need for your weight and needs..diabetics have to plan ahead I know since I have been one since 1995..good luck

Answer 6

For the main section they consume no dairy. they do no longer consume snack ingredients as all of us know it. while i became in China in 1993 I observed them consume tiny candied apples on a stick and popcorn and candy potatoes roasted interior the streets. they do no longer consume super products of meat, purely skinny slivers stir fried. They consume often rice with condiments of meat fish and veg on ideal. They drink fairly a lot of tea. and that they spend lots of the waking day outdoors doing each little thing outdoors. while i became there, there have been no vehicles, in basic terms bicycles. and, finally, the grandparents advance the toddlers mutually as the father and mom artwork. This keeps their minds and bodies energetic.

Answer 7

A diabetic diet is one which promotes a healthy balanced diet for all individuals rather than a diet for the sick. The total energy needs of the individual will be calculated at a level to achieve and/or maintain a desirable body weight. The proportion of energy from each of the major energy groups is such that 50-60% of energy should be derived from carbohydrate, 25-30% from fat and 15-20% from protein (The protein intake may need to be reduced in renal disease).

Carbohydrate is a source of energy and can be derived from :
1)Highly refined carbohydrates
These are concentrated sources of sugar and are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, therefore making it difficult to acieve good control of blood sugar levels. The following examples of highly refined carbohydrates should be avoided under normal circumstances:- sugar, jam/marmalade, condensed milk, sweetened desserts,brown sugar, ‘kaya’, cakes, puddings,glucose, syrup, cream biscuits, sweetened fruit drinks,honey, soft drinks,chocolate , tinned fruits.

2) Complex carbohydrates
These carbohydrates take longer to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Examples include rice, noodles, bread, tosai, vegetables, beans, fruits, milk etc. Choose the unpolished, wholemeal or high fibre variety. Take these in moderation, not excessively.

You are advised to distribute your carbohydrate allowance consistently throughout the day with at least 3 regular meals and snacks (if allowed).

Protein
In addition to providing energy, dietary protein plays an important role in the repair of body tissues and for growth. Sources of protein include lean meat, fish, chicken, seafood, egg, milk, cheese, beancurd (toufu) and lentils.
Include these at each meal in moderate portions.

Fats
Fats are concentrated sources of energy. These should therefore be eaten moderately to avoid unnecessary weight gain. For those who need to reduce their weight, fat intake should be minimised.

There are 2 types of fat : saturated and unsaturated (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated).
Saturated fat tends to raise your blood cholesterol. Sources include : butter, lard, fat and skin from poultry, ghee, coconut oil and palm oil. These should not exceed 7% of your daily energy intake.
2. Unsaturated fat help to lower blood cholesterol. Sources include :
monounsaturated fat - olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil
polyunsaturated fat - soya bean oil, corn oil, sunflower oil

These should make up the remainder of the 25-30% of energy derived from fat in your diet.

You should exercise caution when choosing high cholesterol food eg. organ meats, egg yolks, fatty meat etc.

Foods you can enjoy
All vegetables (except root vegetables which should be taken as an exchange with other high complex carbohydrate food).

Water, chinese tea, black tea/coffee (no sugar added), clear soups, soda water and mineral water.

spices and condiments eg. Pepper, garlic, onions, ginger, curry spices, mint etc.
