Comprehensive Three-meal Recipes For Diabetics: Not Hungry But Stable Blood Sugar

After a considerable number of diabetic patients are diagnosed with diabetes, their first reaction is to give up all staple foods and fruits, thinking that some of these things cannot be eaten and some cannot be touched.

My friend carried it like this for three years. He gnawed cucumbers until his face turned green, and ate boiled vegetables until his stomach felt disgusted. However, his blood sugar did not drop. Instead, he collapsed first – he would gasp after taking two steps, he would feel dizzy due to low blood sugar at every turn, and his face would be as yellow as a piece of paper.

During the re-examination, the doctor directly told him that he was eating too much and was actually damaging his body.

Later, I sought advice from friends in the Department of Endocrinology, and I realized that the key to a diabetes diet is not "not to eat" but "knowing how to eat."

After eating according to the new method for two months, my fasting blood sugar dropped steadily to 6.2, and my whole body became energetic.

Today I will share these useful information. They are all practical words that are close to daily spoken language. Both novices and experienced sugar lovers can follow them.

Pit No. 1: Don’t eat staple food at all. The hungrier you are, the more your blood sugar will be messed up.

Many people with diabetes think that staple food is the culprit of raising blood sugar and simply don’t eat it at all. This is a big mistake.

The body's main source of energy is staple food. If you don't eat it at all, the body will be forced to break down protein and fat to supply energy. This will not only cause muscle loss and make you feel exhausted, but will also cause greater blood sugar fluctuations and sharply increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

The correct approach is: You must eat staple food, but you must eat it alternately and in a controlled manner.

Don't touch white rice, white steamed buns, and refined staple foods such as white porridge. A bowl of white porridge can raise blood sugar faster than four sugar cubes.

Don't make it too mushy when cooking, otherwise the sugar will rise quickly, so keep this in mind.

The second pitfall: Don’t be fooled by “sugar-free foods”. The more you eat, the higher your blood sugar will be.

My friend used to buy sugar-free biscuits and sugar-free cakes, ignorantly thinking that they would not contain sugar and he could eat them as much as he wanted. However, his blood sugar gradually increased due to the influence of diet. When he was reviewed later, he was severely reprimanded by the doctor.

And there are many sugar-free foods grease If it is particularly high, it will worsen insulin resistance .

When buying food, be sure to check the ingredient list. Once you find that the first three ingredients are wheat flour, starch, and vegetable oil, even if it is labeled "sugar-free," don't eat too much.

When you are usually hungry, never reach for sugar-free snacks. Instead, eat a handful of plain nuts, a cucumber, or a small tomato. This can block hunger without raising blood sugar.

The third trick: eating in the right order is more effective than blindly avoiding food.

Many people with diabetes are accustomed to eating the staple food first and then the vegetables. blood sugar It would be strange if it doesn't soar.

Here is a meal sequence that has been tested and proven to be effective. Eat vegetables first, then eat high-quality protein, and finally eat staple food.

This sequence can greatly delay the absorption of carbohydrates, and can reduce the post-meal blood sugar peak by about 30%.

Choose vegetables from green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, broccoli, and celery. The amount you eat every day is 300 to 500 grams. The cooking methods include stir-frying, cold salad, and soup. Remember not to overcook the food.

For high-quality protein, you can choose chicken breasts with the skin removed, as well as fish from the deep sea, as well as tofu and eggs. Eat an amount as big as a palm every day. Steaming or boiling is the most healthy method. Do not fry or braise, otherwise high oil content will also affect sugar control.

Tip 4: You can eat fruit, but don’t eat it blindly. Remember 3 principles

Many sugar lovers dare not touch it fruit , I think it is high in sugar, but actually there is no need to eat it.

Fruit is rich in vitamins and dietary fiber , if chosen correctly, it can help control sugar.

The second principle is to choose the right time, don’t eat after a meal, eat between two meals, for example, at 10 a.m. or 3 p.m., so that it will not affect the blood sugar level during the meal.

The third principle is to control the total amount, which should not exceed 200 grams per day, which is roughly equivalent to the amount of a medium apple. If you are greedy for too much, your blood sugar will inevitably rise.

One last word, diabetic diet is never a "taboo", but a "stress".

There is no need to endure hunger or a complete farewell to delicious food. As long as you can avoid those wrong cognitive areas, choose the right types of ingredients, and use appropriate eating methods, you can steadily control the sugar level in your blood and stay away from various complications caused by blood sugar problems.

There is a 39-year-old friend who has been on the wrong track for three years. Using this method, he lowered his fasting blood sugar level from 8.7 to 6.2 in just 2 months.

I hope all sugar lovers can avoid the pitfalls of blind food taboos, eat well, and control sugar well.
