'പ്രമേഹം പൂർണ്ണമായും മാറാനും ,ജീവിതത്തിൽ വരാതിരിക്കുവാനും ഭക്ഷണം കഴിക്കേണ്ട രീതി /Diabetic Diet /Baiju\'s Vlogs The Diabetes Plate Method is the easiest way to create healthy meals that can help manage blood sugar. Using this method, you can create perfectly portioned meals with a healthy balance of vegetables, protein, and carbohydrates—without any counting, calculating, weighing, or measuring. All you need is a plate! 1. Fill half your plate with nonstarchy vegetables. Nonstarchy vegetables are lower in carbohydrate, so they do not raise blood sugar very much. They are also high in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, making them an important part of a healthy diet. Filling half your plate with nonstarchy vegetables means you will get plenty of servings of these superfoods. Examples of nonstarchy vegetables: Asparagus Broccoli or Cauliflower Brussels Sprouts Cabbage (green, red, napa, bok choy, chinese) Carrots Celery Cucumber Eggplant Leafy greens such as kale, collards, mustard greens, or Swiss Chard Mushrooms Okra Green beans, pea pods, snow peas, and sugar snap peas Peppers such as bell peppers and hot peppers Salad greens such as lettuce, spinach, arugula, endive, and other salad mixes Squash such as zucchini, yellow squash, chayote, spaghetti squash Tomatoes 2. Fill one quarter of your plate with lean protein foods Foods high in protein such as fish, chicken, lean beef, soy products, and cheese are all considered “protein foods.” Proteins foods (especially those from animal sources) usually contain saturated fat, which may increase your risk of heart disease. Lean proteins are lower in fat and saturated fat, making them a healthier choice. Keep in mind that some plant-based protein foods (like beans and legumes) are also high in carbohydrates. Examples of lean protein foods include: Chicken, turkey, and eggs Fish like salmon, cod, tuna, tilapia, or swordfish Shellfish like shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels, or lobster Lean beef cuts such as chuck, round, sirloin, flank, or tenderloin Lean pork cuts such as center loin chop or tenderloin Lean deli meats Cheese and cottage cheese Plant-based sources of protein: Beans, lentils, hummus, and falafel Nuts and nut butters Edamame Tofu and tempeh Plant-based meat substitutes 3. Fill one quarter of your plate with carbohydrate foods Foods that are higher in carbohydrate include grains, starchy vegetables, beans and legumes, fruit, yogurt, and milk. These foods have the greatest effect on blood sugar. Limiting your portion of carbohydrate foods to one quarter of your plate can help keep blood sugars from rising too high after meals. Examples of carbohydrate foods: Whole grains such as brown rice, bulgur, oats/oatmeal, polenta, popcorn, quinoa, and whole grain products (bread, pasta, tortillas) Starchy vegetables such as acorn squash, butternut squash, green peas, parsnips, plantain, potato, pumpkin, and sweet potato/yam Beans and legumes such as black, kidney, pinto, and garbanzo beans Fruits and dried fruit Dairy products like milk, yogurt, and milk substitutes (i.e. soy milk) Looking for more inspiration?

Choose water or a low-calorie drink Water is the best choice because it contains no calories or carbohydrates and has no effect on blood sugar. Other zero- or low-calorie drink options include: Unsweetened tea (hot or iced) Unsweetened coffee (hot or iced) Sparkling water/club soda Flavored water or sparkling water without added sugar Diet soda or other diet drinks What about combination foods? Our meals don’t always fit neatly into the sections of the plate. Many dishes combine the different food types together, like soups, casseroles, sandwiches, pizza, pasta, etc. You can still use the plate method when preparing and portioning combination foods. Just identify the different foods in the dish and think about where they would fit in the plate. For example, in a slice of pizza, the crust would be the carbohydrate food, the cheese and any meats on top would be the protein foods, and the tomato sauce and any vegetables on top would be the nonstarchy vegetables. Try to prepare combination dishes with the same proportions as the plate. So, to build a pizza using the plate method, choose thin crust to reduce the portion of carbohydrates and top it with lots of vegetables instead of meat (or choose a lean meat). Stick to just 1 or 2 slices and serve with a side salad so that half your meal is nonstarchy vegetables.'See also:
