Breakfast – 45
snack – 30
Lunch – 60
snack – 30
Dinner – 60

with no restrictions on anything but carb counts and monitoring blood sugar 4 times a day. Definitely not restricitive! So far I’ve had large cheeseburgers twice today for “snack”. lol.

A: since you cant control youre own diet and obviously are seriously over weight to be a gestational diabetic
You should really keep your ignorant mouth shut when offering people advice to feed 5 week old babies CEREAL.

Q: anyone with type2 diabetes have a diabetes diet plan to share?
looking for a weight loss plan for a type 2 diabetic, hope someone out there is willing to share it with me …will be greatly appreciated….

A: i dont know of a diet plan. but i can tell you whats working for me. i eat more during the day when im active and small meal at dinner along with a snack at bedtime. if im not hungry but i feel my blood sugar dropping i keep pediasure in the house to drink. it has lots of vitamins. low fat cereals and eggs for breakfast. during the day fruits, yogerts, pretzels, lowfat soups, a variety of things. i dont eat a lunch so to say. but i eat a serving of something every couple hours when im at work. south beach cereal bars are good to and you can always keep them on you for those hunger fits or when your low too. 100 calorie packs are good and cure sweet tooths. milk and gram crackers before bed keep my sugar up at night and when i have a snack with a little sugar in it i dont feel do deprived and hungry. 70 calorie packs of jello. im a huge salt finatic so pickles, crab meat, hard boiled eggs with salt, tomatoes, the choices are endless of low calorie things you can eat. i am losing on average 2-3 pounds a week doing this. and to tell you the truth i dont go out of my way to exercise much and my doctor would kill me to admit that lol.

Q: I have type 2 diabetes and will be starting P90x this week. Will I need to modify any of the diet plan?
I’ve been cleared by the doc for the program but is there anything anyone can recommend with the diet plan who has diabetes and followed the routine? So far I’m only taking metformin once a day. I found out about it 2 mo ago and pray I can get off it altogether with P90x.

A: Well the P90X has a pretty healthy diet so you shouldn’t have to. Just listen to your body, if you feel weak and dizzy be sure to eat a snack. Other than that you should be fine.
Good luck.

Q: What is good diet plan for someone who has diabetes?
I’ve been a diabetic for approx 2 years now and I’m taking insulin four time a day. My sugar reading are still high and I think it has to do with my diet. I need some good diet plans. Thanks

A: Think Lifestyle change more than Diet. Lower carb, medium fat and protein . Beware of the snake oil salesmen there is no magical cure or diet but it doesn’t have to be boring. Most well controlled Diabetics I know eat better and taster food now than before they knew they had it.

Q: Diabetes Type 2 diet plan daily … Please help.?
Hello Every1. I am 33 Male and weigh 72 kg and live in the Persian Gulf. I used to weigh 81 kg. I was diagnosed for Diabetes (Type 2) almost 4 years back. My fasting BGL (Blood Glucose Level) ranges from 110-145.
Doctor has prescribed me metformin (500mg) twice daily after meals.
I have stopped this medicine as I don’t feel like I should take it @ this age. Also becoz of medicine I don’t induldge in physical activity (Cycling, walking etc..) I informed my doctor for stopping the medicine and he says the best medicine for type 2 diabates is walking and keeping urself physically fit.
Please advise me what should be the daily meal plan that I should follow in order to keep my BGL normal. Should I go by 3 normal meals a day or 3 small meals and 2 snacks in between?
If I go for 3 normal meals + 1 hr physical activity daily then which is better choice for me from the menu below.

Breakfast: Which is better choice Weetabix/Oats or just whole meal bread with Light Jam Spread + Tea (no sugar).
Lunch: Beans (Red Beans/Butter Beans/Kidney Beans etc…) + White Rice or Fish/Chicken + Rice
Dinner: Light Tuna Sandwich + Vegetable Soup or Brown Pasta + Green Salad

Thanks.

A: While it is impossible to know what you should eat, we can make suggestions.
Metformin is safe and is the greatest help in managing my type 2 diabetes. Give it a go again.

Your diet should have 6 1/2 cup servings of non starch veggies , 3 1/2 cup serving of fruit , lean protein and milk or other calcium .
We all need carbs so try and have 2-4 carb choices a meal.
You can add a 15 carb or less snack if you like.
Your best bet is to talk to your doctor and a dietitian.
Good luck.

Q: Diet Plan for Gestational Diabetes?
So it’s been like a week since I found out I have GD. I don’t have my nutrition class until the 8th and on the phone, was only told no juice or pop until then. However, I did some research online and it sounds like I should be making some serious diet changes (like no more cereal for breakfast??) but different websites say different things. Some are drastic and you aren’t supposed to eat carbs at all whereas others say everything is okay in moderation. Please help by sharing what you know about a diet plan, if you can!

A: I have gd right now and I am currently 35 weeks pregnant. What I have done is eat protein with every meal and I’m now eating 3 small meals and 3 snacks everyday. I’ll give you an example of what I eat everyday.

Breakfast:
2 slices Complete Protein Bread(I get this from Trader Joes) You can eat any kind of whole grain bread. 2 tblspn all natural peanut butter. 1 tblspn for each slice.
I usually toast the bread.

Snack 1:
1 cup frozen fruit,
6 ounces of yogurt(preferably greek and unsweetened)
1 scoop of protein powder
I usually mix some ice in and make a smoothie.

Lunch:
2 slices whole grain bread
lettuce, tomato, carrot, celery
2 ounces of turkey
2 tblspn avocado
1 small apple

Snack 2:
small orange
1 ounce cheese
6 crackers

Dinner:
2/3 cup rice
1 cup broccoli
2 ounces chicken
1-2 tsp veg or olive oil

Snack 3:
2 tblspn nuts
3 graham crackers
6 ounces light yogurt

This is just an example, but it is kind of a guideline. Once you start the diet you just figure out wha tis working for you and your blood sugar and you go from there.

Q: gestational diabetes/diet?
I’m 36 weeks along, and my doctor called and said I have gestational diabetes (it a long story, mostly my fault, as to why it took so long to be diagnosed). Anyway, she said to cut down sugars and carbs, and to try to follow a diet plan for gestational diabetes (I don’t need insulin injections)…. it’s too far along in my pregnancy to get me to a dietician (takes about a month to get in to see one here), so if anyone has gestational diabetes, could you let me know what kind of things are okay to eat, and how to tell the difference between good carbs and bad?

A: I’m 31 weeks and I also have GD. My Dr. put me on a diet constructed by the American Diabetic Association. So you may want to check out their website. It basically breaks down what you should have as far as protein, carbs, etc for each meal. The website is very helpful and will give you a lot of information. Hope this helps!

Q: What is the best diet to prevent Diabetes?
Diabetes runs very strong in my family. My grandmother had her leg amputated because of it and now my mother has it. Is there a good strict diet or eating plan out there so that I can lower my chances of getting it? Ive already started monitoring my blood sugar on a daily basis. Im only 21 and so its better to start young. I want a long, happy and healthy life.

A: Assuming it is TYPE 2 diabetes that runs in your family (Type 1 is the rarer “severe” kind that is not preventable):

-Eat small frequent meals with lean protein, non startchy veggies, good fats like oilve oil, and lots of fibre. Limit your carbs, fast acting sugars, and fatty meats. Eat fish daily (i.e. wild salmon). If you want carbs, eat oats, beans, and brown rice.

-Eliminate trans fats (found in many processed foods), high fructose corn syryp (found in soft drinks), and junk/fast food. Don’t keep processed food in the house, and try to eat as “natural” as possible. Things like crackers are manmade and not always as healthy as we think. Many cracker brands have trans fats. A better choice for a snack would be a handful of nuts, some low fat cheese, and a few stalks of celery with natral peanut butter or a few grapes.

-Fruit has fibre and is *generally* fine, although some fruit like bananas are high glycemic and do raise the blood sugar quite fast. Don’t avoid fruit, just don’t make it your main course of a meal. DO avoid fruit juices, which are usually loaded with sugars and carbs, and lack fibre. Have actual real fruit instead.

You should actually try and exercise 45 min, 5 days per week. The more you move, the better. Walk everywhere.

Do note that some cases of Type 2 diabetes tend to run very strong in families, and there is always a chance that you may still develop it strictly due to genetics. But the good news is:

-If you do end up developing Type 2 diabetes, you will be able to control it better and stay healthier if you follow a healthy lifestyle.

-The *vast majority* of Type 2 diabetes cases can be prevented or at least delayed into old age with proper lifestyle choices. So the odds are in your favor. Often the reason why Type 2 diabetes runs in families has more to due with a shared *lifestyle* than genetics only.

Either way, we ALL need to follow a healthy lifestyle to stay healthy period, diabetes or not.

Good luck and congrats for being proactive with your health! It will serve you well in the long run no matter what!

Q: Can you recommend a diet plan to gain weight?
My father is 58years old and healthy as far as I know, no diabetes, heart disease, etc. Around 8 years ago, he was operated for his cataract, but he is totally fine now (though he can’t carry heavy objects anymore).He also has no vices, just drinks like once to twice a month. He is also physically active, not really heavy but at least sweats from it. He wants to gain weight by following a diet plan, with meals for breakfats, etc. ope you can help. A link or personal opinion will be very helpful. Thank you!

A: Sample 1

breakfast while on the weight gain diet includes granola, chopped nuts, a banana, milk and juice.

A lunch would involve 1/2 an avocado, a can of tuna in oil, two sliced tomatoes, a handful of olives, mixed salad leaves, 2 teaspoons of olive oil and a tbsp of sesame seeds, and whole grain crackers. You are also allowed snacks spaced mid-way between meals, and must eat a sensible dinner.

Tips

The key to formulating any meal for weight gain is to concentrate on a sensible blend of complex carbohydrates , lean protein , and healthy fats . When attempting to gain weight, it is often beneficial to eat multiple small meals per day, rather than a few large meals. Especially when coupled with exercise, eating multiple small meals encourages your body to use the calories to build lean tissue (muscle).

Sample 2

Breakfast: Banana and milk or banana shake or smoothie, whole-grain toast, fruits, granola, nuts. Eat more fruit and drink less juice.
Do not give milk mixed with ghee to your child. It is not healthy.

Lunch: Roti/chapatti/wholegrain bread, rice, green vegetables, paneer (cottage cheese), dal, chickpeas (chole), black-eyed beans (lobia), rajma, whole wheat pudding (dalia), etc Dinner: Similar to lunch

In-between meals:: fruit, sandwich, yogurt (curd), milk, cheese, salad

Say No To

Avoid deep fried snacks like samosa, pakodas, bhujia etc.

Avoid fast foods including donut.

Q: Diet and supplements for a diabetes patient? and things to avoid?
I am asking this for my mom. She takes insulin and feels sick often. She’s not too old, in her 40’s but it feels like shes 80. She often feels pain at heart, and her legs and arms
right now i believe her diet SUCKS. she’s not obese even though she eats alot of oily food, but i think it does effect her diabetes. so any tips and suggestions will help plus a complete diet plan [breakfast,lunch,snacks,dinner] and things to avoid…
thanks

A: Your mum needs to go on a serious diet, if she has sugar diabetes, she cannot eat oily food or any such food related to junk foods or foods that have carbohydrates,
The liver digests carbohydrates by breaking them down into simple sugars, or glucose, which stimulates the production of insulin in the pancreas. The insulin functions to get the sugar into the body’s cells to be used as energy. The two different types of carbohydrates affect the production of insulin differently—when digesting simple carbohydrates, insulin levels spike faster, and the carbs are used up more quickly for energy. This explains why many who turn to a candy bar for a quick supply of energy find that their energy levels crash when the “sugar high” comes to an end. Complex carbohydrates take longer to digest, resulting in longer lasting energy, and less of an insulin reaction in the body.

Which are found in fruits and dairy products are more easily digested by the body. They are also often found in processed, refined foods such as white sugar, pastas, and white bread. which take longer for the body to digest, and are most commonly found in vegetables (cellulose), whole grain breads and pasta, brown rice, and legumes. Foods with unrefined grains, such as brown rice, retain complex carbs, unlike refined grains, such as white rice. This is because the refining process removes some of the grain’s fiber and nutrients. Eating a serving of whole grain cereal such as oatmeal will fill you up and give you longer lasting energy than a bowl of sugary cereal due to the way the body processes and uses the carbohydrates.

Benefits of Polysaccharides in Goji Berries

One of the best best things found in Goji Berries are the high level of polysaccharides. Studies have shown that polysaccharides are exceptional sources of the essential cell sugars necessary for proper immune function and intercellular communication. These polysaccharides can enhance health by maintaining normal cell growth and thus may help slow the aging process. This isn’t to say that you can eat a bunch of junk food and expect to beabsolved by topping it off with a handful of Goji Berries. It’s best to stick with a healthy diet and include foods such as Goji Berries for optimal health.
Here is a list of great benefits to help your Mum and her diet!
I do recomend her to take this juice it will help.

Below is a list of 10 great benefits of polysaccharides:

1) Inhibit tumor growth
2) Prevent cancer
3) Neutralize the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation
4) Help normalize blood pressure
5) Help balance blood sugar
6) Combat autoimmune disease
7) Act as an anti-inflammatory
8) Balance immune function & the Digestive system
9) Lower cholesterol and blood lipids
10) Increase calcium absorption

Q: 7 day diet for diabetes?

A: One of the best ways to help control Diabetes when it comes to diet is if you have something that you really like to eat such as rice just take small portions. By taking small portions and in moderation you can still enjoy the foods you love without feeling deprived.
