Harvard's New Eating Guide Busts Diet Myths For Diabetes
The advice for people with diabetes is similar to that for the general population, but with extra emphasis on controlling weight, blood sugar, and risk factors for heart disease, explains the report, Healthy Eating for Type 2 Diabetes. The basics: Eat a well-balanced diet with a variety of healthy foods, while watching total calories and engaging in physical activity. What you choose to eat on a day-to-day basis is up to you, but the overall goals are as follows:
-- Achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
-- Include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet (but limit white potatoes).
-- Reduce saturated fats and trans fats and replace them with healthy vegetable oils.
-- Choose healthy complex carbohydrates over refined sugars and refined starches.
-- Increase the amount of fiber you eat.
-- Opt for healthier proteins, such as beans, nuts, fish, and poultry, instead of red meat.
-- If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation.
-- Limit your salt intake.
-- Get enough calcium.
-- Take a multivitamin each day.
