Can Diabetes Be Controlled With Diet?
The Thing you most certainly want to steer away from.
There are a number of food pyramid charts in circulation all across America, and quite possibly worldwide, which really don't cause harm, and are even of great help - that is, if you're not a pre-diabetic or a diabetic.
If that's the case, and you're following these charts to the dot, then it's high time you made a wake-up call.
The U.
S.
Department of Agriculture's food pyramid chart is one of the culprits (often called "MyPyramid").
This tool recommends six servings (or six ounces) of grains each day.
And hey! Again, that's perfectly fine - if you are not diagnosed with pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes, or you don't have either and would like to make sure you stay that way.
Don't you know that a simple slice of a whole wheat bread is already approximately 80 percent starch? And starch in essence converts to glucose rapidly once it mixes with your saliva.
Come to think of it, starch converts faster than table sugar (sucrose, which is actually part glucose)! You see, starch is the primary carbohydrate in foods such as bread, rice, pasta and others in which flour is a primary ingredient.
In order for you to be successful in controlling diabetes with your diet and even reverse it naturally, you don't have to give up these kinds of foods altogether...
but, you will greatly benefit if you limit them in the early weeks of your treatment.
Such is carbohydrates which should be scarce in the first few weeks of your meals (which admittedly is a hard thing to do - but remember, is necessary).
