Who says diabetics can't eat well?(oops)

[Guest guest]

dear pratham,

not sure why, but you have included EQUAL in the list.

i am sure you are aware of the consequences of ingesting aspartame.

kathy out here has given us a good explanation on the foods that are good for

people with sugar imbalances.

aspartame is an absolute NO NO......that makes DIET SODA a not so preferred

option.

XYLITOL seems to be doing a great job with the diabetics.

fats and proteins are a must , with less concentration on carbohydrates.

even rice which has been browned , broiled and cooked makes for a healthy meal

, where there is protein utilization.

so give it a thought!!

warm regards

rhoda

Who says diabetics can't eat well?Maintaining

a healthy diet is important for everyone, but crucial for people with

diabetes. Following a diet that meets the strict nutritional

requirements of diabetics and does not overshoot on calories is

critical. At the same time, having diabetes does not mean

you lose your head on calorie counting and bid farewell to delicious

food. Here are some yummy meal options that are safe, quick to prepare,

and great to taste. Beverage listChoose from the following for each of your

meals.Club

soda Diet soda Coffee with an artifical sweetener like 'Equal' Sugar-free drink

mix, like a sugar-free strawberry crush Tea with no/less sugar Kokam juice with

no added sugar Sugar-free tonic waterAvoid canned or even fresh juices,

especially those with added sugar. BreakfastDr

Kiran Desai, a practicing pathologist and medical officer at IIM

Ahmedabad, who also serves as the selector and coach for the Indian

roller-skating team, says, " The best breakfast option for a diabetic is

a plate full of fruit. Include fruit such as apples, peaches, bananas

and even strawberries, and eat a stomach full. You can even have a soup

if an urge for salts arises. Once in a while, you can have milk with

cereal that has no additional sugar. Muesli is also an option. " Some more

options: Poached egg on toast Tomato and cucumber salad Bread topped with

pineapple slices Whole-grain

ready-to-eat cereal Almond milk BananasThese must be alternated though, and none

consumed on a daily basis. However, fruits are safe and ideal for repetition.

MealsFor

lunch, Dr Desai wholeheartedly recommends salad, soups or a light

oil-and-fat- free veg curry with whole wheat chapattis. He says, " For

lunch, a salad and soup is ideal. However, how you make it is also

important. Do not add high calorie dressings or sugar-rich products.

Otherwise, the purpose of eating a salad will be defeated. The

chapattis should not be smothered with butter or ghee either. The whole

idea is to monitor the intake of calories so the blood sugar does not

shoot up. " He shares two soup recipes. Chicken-Rice Soup~Ingredients250 grams

chicken pieces, small1/2 cup salad leaves, chopped1/2 cup rice, uncooked1 small

onion, cut into four1 cup carrots, diced cup capsicum, diced Bay leaf (Tej

Patta in Hindi)A pinch of pepper ~MethodSimmer

the chicken in water with the salad leaves, onion, two pinches of salt

and tej patta for one hour over low heat. Drain the chicken broth and

retain it in a separate container. Place the pieces in a clean plate

and debone the chicken. Chop it into small pieces. Combine the broth,

chicken, rice, capsicum and carrots in a saucepan and continue cooking

for 30-40 minutes or until the rice is tender. Makes three servingsFruit Fusion

~Ingredients1 cup fresh grapes, chopped into halves1 cup fresh strawberries,

sliced into four1 cup fresh peaches, finely chopped1/2 cup brown sugar2 cups

low-fat yogurt~MethodMix

grapes, strawberries, and peaches. Mix gently. Sprinkle brown sugar

over fruit. Top with yogurt. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours.

Gently stir fruit to mix it and serve in pudding/ice cream bowls. This

makes three

servings.By carefully selecting what you eat, including a good

balance of the right kinds and amounts of fats and carbohydrates, you

can help improve your health. The bottom line is you must eat

carefully, eat right and eat sensibly. Do not starve or deprive

yourself. At the same time, don't over-indulge either.Group

To expound just a little bit on the " browned " rice:

 

Take any long grain rice and brown it in a dry skillet

(no butter/oil or water, just the rice itself). Some

kernels will " pop " and look like tiny kernels of popcorn,

which is fine. Once browned, you can store the rice

indefinitely, then cook it however you normally would.

 

This has the effect of changing the body's utilization

of rice from a carbohydrate to a protein.

 

This information comes from Total Body Modification, one

of the healing techniques I use.

I will test this out and see if it actually works. I can eat the rice

and test my blood without the popping process (I pop amaranth, so

know the process) and then the next day, test it again and see the

results. To be sure, I will make this an exclusive meal and eat the

same things each day. To truly reproduce this, I should do at least

three repeats.

 

From a scientific standpoint, I am not sure just why this would

work, but being an experimenter at heart, I can find out if it works,

at least for me.

 

I hope it does.

Thanks, Rhoda,

 

When conventional medicine failed me I had to become my own

researcher, not just surfing the net but actually trying things to

see if they would work. I feel fortunate to have been able to find a

lot of answers this way. I don't give up easily.

 

On the topic of parched grains, I have done some more net research

and noted that parching seems to up the protein content slightly, but

whether it's enough to make the grain actually function more like a

protein, I don't know. In looking qat the glycemic index and glycemic

load, it may well drop the index some, but the load may still be a

problem. And everyone responds differently to foods in the glycemic

index, plus the same individual responds differently on different

days or when things are eaten in combination with other things. there

is still so much we don't know, so much to learn.

 

But in the meantime experimenting with what works for me is what I

have to do. In fighting cancer, and unable even if I wanted to take

chemo, there is one heck of a lot of experimentation, I can tell you!

With pretty darned high stakes.

 

Thanks for your encouragement,

 

Thea
