5-day Diet For People With Diabetes

People diagnosed with diabetes need to eat more specifically, which is why we have prepared this 5-day diet that will make it easier for them to choose food.

We have included our favorite autumn flavors (beans, potatoes, pasta with cheese and warming spices). To maintain a perfect balance of calories and carbohydrates throughout the day and stable blood sugar levels, about 1,500 calories are supplied per day. Because the menu is low in calories, you can lose weight while keeping your blood sugar normal after these 5 days. Meals are distributed so that in 3-4 of them to take 45-60 grams of carbohydrates, and at breakfast 15 grams.

Includes plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean protein. If you overdo it regularly with refined carbohydrates, saturated fats and sodium, it can be harmful to health, so you will be limited in the menu.

The total amount of calories and carbohydrates is indicated with each meal and snack, so you can easily replace them with similar foods.
