What are some good diabetic foods?

Answer 1

There are many excellent diabetic foods. Think natural to get yourself started. Meats, cheese, vegetables, fruits, whole grain products, water, and milk. These all taste great without added sugars. Stay away from processed foods as much as possible.

Answer 2

A good diabetic diet is the Atkins diet. It focuses on meat, fats, complex carbohydrates, and fruit.

Diabetics should stay away from high starch, high sugar foods. These are some good rules of thumb to go by:

Stay away from: white vegetables, sugar, wheat products, artifical sweeteners and diet sodas, food that comes in crinkly bags, fruit juices, and foods that are high in carbs.

What you can eat in vast amounts are: meats, cheeses, nuts, eggs, 100% rye bread; salads, most green and colored vegetables, most fruits as long as they have plenty of fiber; sweet potatoes, smoothies, soups, and stews.

Find healthy things to substitute like:

Sweet potato chips instead of regular potato chips or corn chips

Sweet potatoes instead of baked potatoes.

Puffed brown rice cereal instead of rice krispies.

With a little imagination, your food can be varied, tasty, and fun. In fact, on a diet like this, you can eat all you want; and you don't count calories, weights, or portion sizes. You'll still lose weight easily, even without exercising; and it's easy to keep off.
