Before we start preparing for Easter, it is necessary to establish an appropriate diet with a doctor. Individual setting of the menu for each diabetic will help in choosing the maximum range of Easter culinary possibilities. Thanks to such consultation, you can get permission for a glass of wine or a piece of sweet cake.
Diet for Type II Diabeteshas a lot to do with a he althy diet for everyone who cares about their well-being. The Easterdiabetic dietcan alleviate some of the daily restrictions, as long as we eat a small piece of sweet grandmother after a wholesome lunch and do not drink vodka before a meal.
Diet for a diabetic: what to avoid?
Everyone knows that a diabetic should avoid sweets. But it is also known that sugar is found not only in chocolate, but also in fruits, drinks and jams. You should also avoid fatty foods. Alcohol should be excluded from drinks (in exceptional cases, doctors allow you to drink a glass of wine or a glass of vodka, but it depends on the restrictions adjusted individually).
Practically all-fat milk, cream, yellow and blue cheeses are forbidden. Light version of these products is allowed, but in reasonable quantities. With diabetes, it is necessary to give up fried foods and additives such as mayonnaise or mustard. It is recommended to eat vegetables and fruits raw. If cooked for more than a few minutes, it can seriously harm you.
discuss your Easter diet with your doctor
Only a specialist can determine which products must be eliminated from the diet and which should be restricted. A properly selected diet, even one containing products such as low-fat cheese, lean meats, vegetables stuffed with lean beef, boiled eggs, vegetable soups, borscht and delicate yoghurt-based sauces will provide the body with the energy it needs and will be a perfect complement to pharmacological treatment.
Diabetic diet: spend more time preparing meals
During the holiday season, we can spend more time preparing and eating meals. Do not limit yourself to eating 2-3 meals a day. Easter is a good time to eat slowly and more often. Patients with type II diabetes are recommendedeat 7-9 small meals a day.
What to add to diabetic Easter cakes
Synthetic sweetener can be added to recipes instead of sugar. Fruits that a diabetic can eat are nuts. Decorate the sugar-free cakes with chocolate, which contains 99% cocoa, and when whipping the cream, use gelatin instead of special CreamFixes as a stabilizer.
Remember diabetic! Rich doesn't mean fat!
Stereotypical rich holidays are dripping with fat and sugar. Nothing could be more wrong. The store shelves are low-fat products, lean meats, good fish are the most expensive. And they should be synonymous with festive we alth. Fortunately, Easter is the time when you can afford to buy the most expensive products.
