We recommend intake of slow-release carbs (low gycemic index (GI) foods) to keep blood sugar levels even because they are digested more slowly. High GI foods spike the blood sugar rapidly, while low GI foods are absorbed gradually. We encourage eating regularly at set times. Eat smaller meals at regular intervals (6 to 7 times a day) as both overeating and starving could result in fatigue as well as cause blood sugar levels to fluctuate. The body is better able to regulate blood sugar levels?and the weight?when an individual maintains a regular meal schedule. We recommend moderate and consistent portion sizes for each meal or snack. ?Reduce saturated fat and cholesterol from your diet. ?Trim any visible fat off meat before cooking and remove the skin before cooking. Consume fish or chicken instead of red meat. ?Instead of frying, choose to grill, broil, bake, or stir-fry. ?Avoid using heavy cream, use low-fat milk. ?Eat more foods rich in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. ?Consume a low-fat balanced diet consisting of whole-grain cereals, low-fat/ skimmed dairy, fruits, vegetables, sprouts. ?Avoid stimulants such as too much caffeine. ?Drink 10 to 12 glasses of water everyday. ?Lose weight, if overweight. Aim to maintain a healthy body weight. ?Increase your level of physical activity (walk at least 45 minutes to 1 hour daily). ?Meditation and relaxation techniques can help calm the body and mind, bringing them into a better state of balance. ?Get enough sleep.
