use full fat milk instead of low fat.
full fat milk of cow or buffalo. bcoz in cow milk has 12 gm sugar per serving cup. so what you suggest .
karan79
Full fat milk. and what is the sugar content of skimmed milk ?
2% , full fat ,1 % or skim milk all have same sugar level 12gm per cup. only difference is fat. cow milk is very dangerous for diabetic person, it has natural sugar which is called lactose .
karan79
So skim milk is only sugar. Very little fat and protein. So what i meant was that if you take milk take whole milk.
But the prefered dairy product is a little sour hung curd/ yogurt-d, cheese and paneer.
cow milk has sugar doesnt matter its skim milk , 2% , 1% . sugar level would be same 12GM. and what is the difference between cheese and paneer. just name difference. carb or sugar would be same.
google.com/#q=cow+milk+nutr...

Choose paneer if you want to lose weight.
A 28g serving of paneer contains 82.5 calories, which is way more than the calorie content present in certain foods and vegetables. Still, it has lesser calories as compared to cheese which has 97.4 calories per every 28g serving. If you want to lose weight, without compromising on the health benefits of milk then try eating curd.
Choose cheese for weight gain and building muscle
The protein content in cheese is significantly higher than that in paneer. A 100g serving of cheese contains 18g of protein, while the same amount of paneer contains 11g of protein. Though both can be considered great sources of protein (both are better than milk), cheese should be your choice when it comes to bodybuilding and weight gain.
There is almost no carbs in cheese and paneer. They are good source of protein and fat for vegetarians.
what is difference between cheese and paneer. its same thing ?? we make at home that is called paneer i think.
karan79
adi baba. There is difference.
1) nutritional values different. High protein in cheese.
2) process of making is different. There is only one type of paneer but cheese has lots of varieties depending upon the making process. But basic difference between cheese and paneer is that "rennet " is used to make cheese.
suramo ,
It is 13 grams of carbs. for skim/fat free milk.

It's really a "soul curry" for us

the cousin of same Garcinia Combogia is now days becoming very popular world wide as weight loss medication...
Just Google Garcina combogia
cure
Et al.
1) i'm yet to receive a response here if buttermilk is good for us
2) can we use tamarind instead of kokum ?
3)How about using buttermilk instead of coconut milk ?
LOL bhai suramo ....As per ayurveda curd is not recommended for diabetic.... may be it helps to replenish liver glycogen.
Further.. ayurveda always place butter milk above curd.. but there are many members around us who acheived better results with hung curd(chakka)
Now hung curd is without curds self generated water...(whey)
butter milk is curd and self generated water plus added water.....
It is all confusing ....
but I think butter milk is better than curd...
Tamrind is also good.... yeah they make sharbat out of tamrind... well I don't know...let me find out more... but there is one more thing...called Gorakh imali sharbat....
U may use it...
Gorakh imali/Boabab ( herbpathy.com/Uses-and-Bene... )
I guess u can get it in Ahmadabad...
They have many trees of this in Madhyapradesh...seen many of them around mandu/mandavgadh .. may be @anup will be able to tell more about same...
Once in childhood due to some problem spent one full day on those fruits at mandu...without any hunger...was feeling very energetic even in hot malwa summer in mid may....
Bhai next time when I visit Ahmedabad will get you one packet of Kokum...u can use it for sol kadhi...
here is earlier link about Kokum healthunlocked.com/diabetes...
cure
It's goras aamali. Yes. Even dried kokum is available here. You know bro i purchased 2 tins of kokum sharbat when i visited goa. I still have kokum sharbat at my home. Very soothing to abdomen but we can't take because of sugar in it. I'd surely try sol kadhi. As such kokum / tamarind is routinely used in pigeon pea dal in gujarat. But not in my kitchen.
This kokum sharbat is freely available in pune. In ahmedabad you can find that sharbat at many "soda shops " 😊😊
cure
Ayu is right. Butter milk is the liquid left after churning out butter from curd. It's milk sugar. Just wanted to know the opinion of others.
While it's really good for nonD it's not good for us. In saurastra your meal is not complete without butter milk at the end. Cummins and salt added and chilled.
• in reply tosuramo
In South we just add water to dahi and churn it lightly and call it butter milk.
I don't prefer to have it due to the sugars in it.
For us hung curd is better
If u so prefer a liquid then lemon water is the best alternate for butter milk
Hidden
We also make butter milk by adding water to curd and churning it. I also believe bm not good for us. But once or twice i took a glass of homemade bm after lunch and my one hour pp was less than 140. But i still don't recommend it.
Best drink for diabetes...is sol curry....
Best drink for everyone.
Where is it sold in the USA?
May be in Indian stores. Ask for plain kokum juice or we call it aagal.
For recipe go through the link provided by cure

The fresh from garden ? Dried kokum is available in ahmedabad but quality is not good. If the kokum fruit is available in ahmedabad please send me address / contact details.

Hang the curd in a cheese cloth and let the liquid in curd drain out. It's hung curd. Discard the liquid called whey. Or let it be used by nonD people.
Best drink for a diabetic is
Acv + Lemon diluted in a glass of water
Hidden
Right bro. But frankly 1) acv + lemon cause me acidity and 2) perhaps because of this physical stress i.e acidity the response in terms of low bs is not achieved. Tried many times

Vrikshamala= Garcinia combogia...a cousin brother of Kokam/Garcinia Indica.
We Maharashtrians use Kokam liberally in cooking...and using it for many generations... No bad effect is experienced...
But this cousin of Kokum is unknown to us...

Yes. That's hung curd. But the google confuses between curd and cheese.
Curd is fermenting milk with gut healthy bacterial culture like yogurt but in curd different kind of bacteria are used. Not by adding acid or lemon juice or vinegar. For curd we have to keep the mixture of milk and curd for a few hours to complete fermentation of the milk.
Whereas cheese is separating whey by adding acid vinegar etc from the rest of the milk - an instant process. If rennet is added it becomes cheese and if not paneer.
In cheese 96 % of milk sugar lactose is drained. In curd the sugar is converted to lactic acid.
Frankly i have not yet found answers to the rest of your questions. But since sugar is drained in whey we prefer hung curd.
May be someone can come up with answers.

Don't go by name. Be cautious before using it. Contains "corn syrup " - the substance thought to be culprit for causing IR in humans. High fructose. Check its effect on bs.

I told you. Don't go by name.
Glycerna 27g carbs per 8oz.
Muscle milk powder 9 g carbs per scoop. 19 g in two scoops.
Must be processed carbs. Adding fibres ?? make the product D friendly for them!!.
I wouldn't recommend but let others too opine. I'd prefer natural food.
Watch effect on your bs.
