The anti-diabetic diet
My diet prescription is simple - take lots of fresh, raw veggies ( of many varieties, but minimising ther starchy ones like potatoes); take lots of different fruits (restrict to one or two slices pr portions per fruit if you are diabetic); add healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, or supplements), nuts legumes, and some whole grains and there will be no more room for the unhealthy food to fit in your stomach.
If you must have meat, choose fish over chicken, beef or mutton, in the order, you can have enough calories, carbohydrates, fats, and even proteins, plus tons of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, enzymes, co-enzymes, fibre, and food for your friendly gut bacteria if you take lots of fresh fruits and veggies diet is applicacle to all who want to be healthy. It will be benefitcial in maintaining good health and fighting against health problems like heart disease, cancers and diabetes. There are only minor adjustment for the diabetic patient.
Bein your meal with the fruits and veggies. This will ensure that the food enzymes will assits inthe digention of whatever else you take afterwards. It is sad that some diabetics are advised to avoid fruits by their doctors or dietocoans.
In my opinion, the nutrients in fruits are essential for diabetics, and the sugar content is permissible, provided you restrict the amount of each fruit. Go for variety, which will provide a wider range of healing nutrients. If you know the glycaemic index of your food choices, that is even better. Go for the lower ones.
There is no restriction for veggies (except the starchy ones). Go for a variety of dark-coloured leafy veggies - the more, the better.
