Changing to a Diabetic Diet when obese?
My best friend (who has been trying to manage his obesity for years) has finally been diagnosed as pre-diabetic. Are there any easy ways to start him on diets for those who are pre-diabetic? Most of the sites we’ve tried seem just to say “Don’t be obese and get more exercise”. Are there any resources which give diet sheets, or recommended brands for diabetics?
Your best friend clearly has blood sugar imbalances thus the prediabetes. Dietary changes can help so much in avoidng the diabetes diagnosis.
Eating unrefined foods, lean protein, and more veggies than starches are really important for you bf right now, low carb. Eating 5-6 small meals/snacks should be his pattern. Drink plenty of water. Try to exercise even walking 3X a day for 30 min will help stabilize glucose levels. Add more protein. Protein always helps in making me feel full and I don’t feel so hungry all the time. Fish, chicken, lamb, etc. are also good sources of protein. Beans have a good source of plant protein and fibers that stick with you longer and break down into sugar (as all food eventually does) in your blood stream more slowly. This is a good thing, as you won’t get a low blood sugar nearly as quickly. Try to avoid candy, juices, etc. are all turned into blood sugar very fast; they don’t stick with you. I know this is very hard but try to do it slowly eating less and less everyday. You will see how you will feel better following these tips. Think of these simple sugars as very short term fuel. If he needs to have sweets try sugar free its really good and fill that “sugar” absence. Eating correctly will help you straighten his dietary problems. Also, this helps when he can get into “portion” control eating smaller portions that makes it seem you are not on an actual diet.
David Mendosa diabetes.com can give you alot of help in setting up diet sheets and recommended diets and brands for diabetics. He also has systems that can help your friend track his glucose and set up reminders, etc. Mr Mendosa is a pioneer in the field of diabetes and his web site has an enormous amount of information for new diabetics as well as long time diabetics.
Try the above tips you’ll be surprised how well it works and how his blood glucose levels will drop. You are a good friend in helping him out and I’m sure he is a good friend to you too.
Hope this helps.
