When attempting to control Type 2 Diabetes through dietary changes, should one avoid rice and beans?

Answer 1

beans no, rice yes...even whole grain rice is very low in fiber. the higher the dietary fiber intake the lower serum insulin levels will be. try to get the recommended 30 grams of fiber daily, it's not that hard.

1 cup Kashi GoLean Cereal - 10 grams fiber
1/2 cup lentils (uncooked) - 10 grams fiber
1/2 cup kidney beans (uncooked) - 14 grams fiber

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

No just watch portion size 1 cup of rice is 45 carbs, beans it depends on what type. Brown rice is better than white rice it metabolizes slower than white, which means your glucose won't spike as fast. With beans, while healthy, as with any food, it matters how much you eat and what you're adding to it like sauce, sugar etc.

I am going to give you a few sites to check out

I hope these sites help.

Answer 6

Not avoid just control. With the rice do a whole grain and only eat a portion. It is too easy to over eat rice. Beans are good for you they contain lots of fiber espessaly black beans

Answer 8

Rice is a carbohydrate but controlling diabetes is more of a 24 hour a day thing, so nothing in particular is that important. What really matters is how you balance things out. I don't have it but that's my understanding.

Answer 9

Don't avoid those foods. Rice and beans are good for you. Beans are especially good at sustaining energy levels.

Answer 10

Legumes are quite good for one with diabetis. Avoid anything white it helps no pasta, potatoes, rice, bananas. although i do take a 1/2 now and then...they are so healthy.
