Diabetes Diet 

Information regarding the weight of the individual is essential, while framing a diet. A common diet chart cannot is not applicable to all individuals. Hence, provide all the necessary information, the next time. Around 1500 to 1800 calories are recommended. Avoid feasting or fasting. Avoid fatty foods. Use omega 3 fatty acids, present in flax oil, fish oil and soy products.

Sixty percent of the calories are contributed by carbohydrates. Opt for complex carbohydrates, especially for weight reduction. Twenty per cent each of calories are contributed by protein and fats. Lunch is made heavy and dinner should be light. Adequate intake of vegetables and fruits are recommended. Starchy tubers are avoided, in addition to mangoes, jackfruit, Sapodillas and melons.

Ready to eat snacks and processed foods are not preferred. Table sugar is abstained from. Visit your nutritionist for an individualized diet chart. About forty grams of fibre per day is recommended. Bakery products and fast foods are completely avoided. An insight about the presence of any other complication is necessary. Go in for 4 or 5 meals, instead of 3 heavy meals.
