Dear inian

I feel diabetes is not a disease, it is a disorder of diet. Please Adopt LCHF diet pattern and get rid of your diabetes or lower your intake of medicines You have to select food with low glycemic index and high in fat content.. Keep a watch on your FBS and PPBS numbers till everything is settled and if you find yourself consistently hitting in 120-140 range for PPBS , reduce your diabetic medicines, if required. Select your own menu as per your appetite and taste, considering in mind that you have to consume less carbohydrate, maximum to 100gms carbs per day, and rest should be fat and little proteins. Some of the food items I can suggest and remaining you can search yourself. AVOID WHEAT, RICE , BREAD & OTHER CEREALS ALTOGATHER OR LIMITING TO 100 gms CARBS. PER DAY. READ dietdoctor.com , fatsecret.com , old postof anup&medfree on healthunlocked.com

1. Take Hot Veg Soup Non Strained measuring around 350ml with 30gms full fat milk cream OR around 20gm butter, and enjoy this with a 30-50 grams MIXED NUTS(Almonds,Walnuts & Peanuts, no cashew), OR along with Paneer Pakodas or Dal Chillas.

2. Take all dairy products, it should be full fat stuff (so no skimmed stuff), full fat milk curd which is > 1 day old, butter, cheese, clarified butter .

3. No biscuits, cracker, wafers , potatoes chips etc. Being vegetarian it limits your options.

4. If you are not a thyroid patient then add supplement: ALPHA LIPOIC ACID 300mg Capsule OID. (once a day).

5. Add paneer to your menu, and also eggs if you can afford to take, since scientifically eggs are supposed to be a vegetarian diet.

6. Restrict to just one chapati/meal, and subsequently one chapati per day

7. Fruits -- apple and citrus fruits. No JUICES at all.

8. Take vegetables like bracoli, peas, beans, cabbage, cauliflower, shimla mirch and other vegetable having low glycemic index. No potato or potato products at all.

9. DRINK LOTS OF GREEN TEA. IT’S A GOOD DIURETICS.

10. Take vegetarian preparations with salads and of course nice quantity of Chutney made from Coconut and daal etc ... 100gms chutney can be great filler and coconut is source of FAT.

11.Try masala dosa with mashed cauliflower and other vegetables, with peanuts to the masala which adds again good quantity of fat ... mashed cauliflower is a great substitute for potato as far as taste is concerned.

12. Take 100ml milk boiled with turmeric and pepper in morning and the same at night . 13. Every bit of movement and calorie burning counts ... minimum walking for15 minutes after every meal within the house is ok. Never use LIFT.

14. ONE VEGETARIAN DISH : Green Salad comprising 1 pc each of onion, carrot, cucumber, simla mirchi, 1 cup of cabbage. All are cut to small pcs, mix lot of curds to it, also add 2-3 spoons of olive oil. Add 1 cup of cream. In addition as a side plate , have 2 boiled eggs or 1/2 cup of paneer. If required eat any vegetable, not Potato or any thing made of Potatos. Try adding sesame seeds to salad and take nuts ( Almonds, Walnuts &peanuts, No cashews ) upto 100gms.per day, take stuff made from coconut.

15 FOR NON VEGETARIAN : You can take freely Chicken, Meat, Fish, Pork & Eggs

( Whole Egg With Yolk ). 16. In addition do take Karela juice, amla juice, 5 mg fenugreek seeds soaked in water for over night before every meal, jamun seeds powder, 4 garlic pearls cut into pieces with water & cinnamon powder with water or in tea etc

suggesting high fat diet to a diabetic, is not only harmful, but also unscientific, considering, the basic defective metabolic handling of fat by all diabetics(Dyslipidemia)

instead suggest low carb. high protein and minimal fat for the diabetic

[rnpath]

This is not my view, but the true fact based on the foundation of evidence based science,

while what you are advocating, high fat for the diabetic has no such proof as of now

.

The very basis of all the organ damage to kidneys, heart coronaries, brain , eye is the inner coating of blood vessels by cholesterol and abnormal fat in diabetics, obviously derived from fat and not properly eliminated after its deposit in abnormal places.

Please verify from any allopathic physician or diabetologist
