Healthy Portion Sizes
Take the time to watch this video. It will help you understand the correct portion size for a healthy diet.
Emotional triggers are all round you. With the best will in the world you try your best to follow your eating plan and suddenly you find yourself in line at your favorite fast food joint thinking about those curly fries or tacos. What gives?
Professionals came up with a diagnosis for this problem. It is known as emotional eating. This is eating that may be brought on by stress in your life. Think about it in terms of the ABC's. A - Antecedent...or anxiety that causes emotional eating B - Behavior that occurs after the emotional trigger...I will eat french fries or chocolate and feel better. C - Consequence...Now I feel guilty...and may be sick if I ate the wrong food for my diabetes.
Most of us are guilty of emotional eating. I never realized that I had been doing this for years until I became aware of the condition. Next time, think ABC and with a little self control you will be able to avoid the consequences of guilt and sickness that always follows.
Perhaps you might consider replacing food with a little prayer that gets you in touch with God who is the Great Comforter! BWD
Answer: The general starting point for a moderate-size, normal-weight woman is 45-60 grams of carbohydrates at each meal; for a moderate-size, normal-weight man is 60-75 grams of carbs per meal. Most people with diabetes don't need to eat snacks. However, if you enjoy eating a snack, use some of your daily allotted carb grams-15-30 grams.per snack.
I know it gets boring and hard to stay with the program every day. However, if you learn as much about eating the right way, you will soon begin making healthy choices by habit. This will change your life so get started learning today! You will also be happy knowing you are living a life that is pleasing to God! Let go and Let God!
Before the days of MacDonald's and Jack-in-the-Box fruit was the favorite snack food. It was easily accessible and available whenever you needed a snack.
Dieticians recommend fruit as a healthy choice for a diabetic diet. In fact, a healthy target should be about 3-4 servings daily. The question becomes...what is a healthy portion?
