Diabetic Recipes - How to Adapt Recipes for Diabetics and Benefit From the Positives!

Monday, February 16, 2009

One of the best ways to manage your condition if you are diabetic is to watch what you eat. This doesn't mean cutting out all of your favourite foods and all sugar. Instead it means controlling different food groups you eat, and eating everything in moderation. Cooking your own food is the best way to keep track of everything you eat and is a great way of managing your condition. If you are having a hard time knowing what you should eat, here is some advice on adapting recipes.
.
You should know firstly that you can still keep eating some of your favourite meals after you have been diagnosed with diabetes. Diabetic recipes that have been specially adapted can be found easily on the internet. These recipes will have reduced amounts of fat, salt and sugar in order to make them a safe choice for diabetics, and should be easy for you to follow.
.
Using specially adapted recipes if you have diabetes is actually much easier than you think. If you do not know whether certain recipes will taste nice with ingredients modified then just use a ready-made recipe. It may take some patience to try out a few different recipes, but you will soon have a collection of meals that you really enjoy.
.
In general look for diabetic meals that balance all of the major food groups each day. Try to include good portions of fruit and vegetables, and use low-fat foods (such as low fat margarine) where appropriate. Use diabetic recipes to give you ideas and let you know the kinds of food you can still eat.
