Are you having trouble managing your blood sugars or finding a dietary regimen that works for you?
Here are just a few tips that may improve your blood sugars quickly:
1) Eat, Eat, Eat! Ok, there is one stipulation…. you have to eat the RIGHT things. We will discuss what the “right” things are, but you HAVE to keep your body nourished with nutrients it can use. Many diabetics are told to lose weight in an effort to control their symptoms. This is actually great advice, but most are then left to figure out how to do it on their own. The first thought is generally “I just won’t eat as much.” This may or may not be the problem. Perhaps the food choices just aren’t the best ones, and there isn’t an “overeating” problem at all.
The thought that you can lose weight by depriving yourself of food is generally a faulty one. If you don’t eat enough throughout the day, you can actually hinder weight loss. Yes, you have to EAT to lose weight. I know it seems counterintuitive, but if your body is deprived of food, it will go into a “starvation” mode and begin holding on to every calorie it receives and storing it away as fat to be used in case of another starvation episode. We are intricately designed to survive! The take-home point here is to eat several small meals throughout the day to keep your body metabolism high.
