If someone in the family suffers from diabetes, he will know that one of the pillars to cope with it is food.Diet is a five -letter word that in principle may sound to restriction, but that does not mean that it will never more prove something sweet, or that your meals should be boring.It is simply to learn to eat and, for this, the nutritionist Emma Marcucci of the My Star program (Sanofi), offers the keys.
• With measure: the diabetic diet should not be sad or boring, as all food groups can be included.You can eat everything, but in small portions.
• Fraction: Do not do only the three food times, as it will arrive too hunger the next time.Refaction gives greater feeling of satiety.
• Distribution: On your dish, the meat portion must be the size and thickness of your palm.The portion of carbohydrates (rice, potato or beans) must occupy the size of its fist and the rest of the dish must be made up of vegetables.
• Maggers: 100%red meat is not removed, as you can use it once a week and the rest change it to white meats.Seafood are limited to once every 15 days, because they raise triglycerides.
• Dairy: Opt for the skim versions.Becomon is one of the best for diabetics, and can also choose fresh cheese, layers or panela.The latter is made with skim milk and has little amount of salt.To reduce the amount of salt in cheeses, the option is to wash them.
• Always natural: The patient should limit salt consumption and avoid using artificial flavorings.These can be replaced with aromatic herbs, which give flavor and also provide antioxidants.
• How do I cook it?: Prefer baked preparations, grilled, cooked, steamed or sauteed.Avoid empanized or fried.
• Desserts: Prepare them based on fruits and, if you use sweeteners, do not pass with them, because your palate should get used to the least amount of sugar possible.If you attend a birthday, eat a small piece of cake and accompany it with pure water.
