Tips for Diabetes Healthy Diet Plan






Diabetic Healthy diet planPeople who have developed diabetes wanted to learn the right way of making diabetic diet planning, to help them manage their condition. If you're a diabetic, make sure that you adopt a special diet that is suited to your condition to prevent the complications of the disease. 

People with diabetes can eat the same foods the family enjoys. Everyone benefits from healthy eating so the whole family can take part in healthy eating. It takes some planning but you can fit your favourite foods into your meal plan and still manage your blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol,

Below we had made a "1-day' sample of a diabetic menu plan that have 1, 600 calories and only contain 225 grams of carbohydrates. While following these diets, always remember to re-hydrate yourself regularly, and drink at least 16-ounce of water after each meal to maintain the hydration of your body. 

Here is a sample menu idea about the "ideal" way of making your healthy diabetic diet plan so if you're ready, here it is.

• Breakfast (360 calories of healthy carbohydrates)

* 1 piece of toasted "wheat" bread together with 1 teaspoon "non-fat" butter
* 1/4 cup of medium-sized egg
* 1/2 cup of oatmeal
* 1/2 cup skim milk
* 1/2 regular-sized banana

• Lunch (535 calories of healthy carbohydrates)

* 1 cup of organic vegetable soup, along with 4-6 crackers
* 1 chicken sandwich (2 slices of whole-wheat bread, 1 ounce chicken and 1 ounce non-fat cheese, 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise)
* 1 regular-size apple

• Dinner (635 calories of healthy carbohydrates)

* 4 oz. broiled chicken with oregano and basil sprinkled at the top
* 2/3 cup of cooked "brown" rice
* 1/2 cup of half-cooked carrots
* 1 small whole-grain dinner roll, and 1 teaspoon butter
* Tossed salad having 2 tablespoons of low-fat salad dressing
* 4 "unsweetened" apricot halves, or if you want you can substitute it with 1 slice of angel food-cake

• Snacks (Each of the snacks listed below contains 60 calories of healthy carbohydrate. You may choose 2 snacks each day.)

* 16 pieces "fat-free" tortilla or corn chips with tomato salsa
* 1/2 cup "artificially" sweetened cake pudding
* 1 oz. string cheese, and one regular-sized fruit
* 3 cups of light popcorn

The menu that we have provided above is only a "sample" menu to give you a head-start when you plan to do your diabetic menu planning. However, we still encourage you to ask the permission of your doctor or nutritionist for you to have the exact and accurate diabetic diet meals that will help you in managing your condition.


 Additional Tips:

If you're making your own diabetic diet plan, stay away from simple sugars like candies, sweet desserts, processed sweetened fruits and some other foods that are made from refined sugar. You should stay as well in foods that contain a high amount of fats, especially foods with "saturated" fats. Remember this information when doing your diabetes diet planning, and for sure, you won't go wrong.
