The diabetes diet is not a weight loss diet, but a diet for everyone. Often when I talk about how I eat I always hear the same question asked: “But why do you eat like this? Are you diabetic? ” and I am amazed at how careful and conscious eating means for most people to deprive themselves of something or eat sick . Yet, I eat as everyone should, and if we all ate like this, not as I say, but as most dieticians explain, we would all be healthier. Why do they tell me I eat like a diabetic?Simple, because I don’t eat many sweets and refined products, I try to pay attention to the glycemic load of my meals, I eat a lot of vegetables and fruit between meals. I eat right and exercise

A diabetic, whether type 1 or type 2, as you know must absolutely avoid the glycemic peak and also insulin , and to limit the symptoms must eat without sugar. The best thing would be to limit the sugar as much as possible, that is, drinking some bitter things, and having sweets and biscuits cooked with alternative sweeteners with a low glycemic index: now fructose, agave syrup, barley malt are the most popular. , isomalt, erythritol. But it is not said that these substances are NOT harmful. This is why even in the preparation of sweet dishes, fruit (the real natural fructose) or unsweetened apple juice must be used to help sweeten.
Therefore an apple pie with wholemeal flour is an excellent dessert for a diabetic, if we put very little fructose and use sweet apples. What about carbohydrates? It would be enough to avoid any refined, white (or often white) food, starting with rice and white bread. Avoid cooking pasta for a long time, and even try to cook it the night before. Alternate pasta for lunch with cereals and vegetables such as spelled, oats and barley or rye, quinoa, etc. or brown rice. Often eating legumes also combining them with pasta, in order to reduce the latter: pasta (broken or with egg) up to 50 grams with eighty grams of dried and boiled legumes is a very satisfying dish, which with raw vegetables for appetizer is perfect for diabetes sufferers.
