The anti-Diabetes Is it very restrictive?
The time when the dietary advice given to diabetics excluded a list of foods is now gone. Besides, one should speak of “regime anti-diabetes” because the power to establish broadly that everyone should take to stay healthy. It is one that can protect against a cardiovascular disease n general, and overweight, in particular.
That said, there is in the nutrition of a patient suffering from diabetes, particular attention to bring to the glycemic index. The food and the meal in its entirety (read: understand the glycemic index).
What is the process?
It is not in a hurry. Do not make a radical change in eating habits that will not be tenable by the person, and would not be sustainable over time. It is important that the person understands that the dietary change has become a way of life For life. He goes about his health! That is why I advocate before any action purely food, take stock of habits. Assess what you eat, how you eat if you eat beyond his hunger, so lon nibbles, and what are the foods that can not happen. It is an essential preparatory work.
What’s wrong not to commit?
Many people embark on diets without even knowing where they stand in their relationship with food, so they stopped after 3 months! Understanding why and how it will implement its new supply is crucial.
This also implies taking into account the professional obligations, social, family, and does not apply “stupidly” diet. It is important to adapt to life at home. This requires to be driving and be imaginative.
You advocate a gradual change, specifically how it goes?
In most cases, it is primarily aimed at improving the conduct vis-à-vis the food that the person is “peace support”. That is to say they will seek to manage the sensations of hunger and satiety, calmly and without frustration. No target block, no block board with a list of foods good and bad, but coaching in different stages. Everybody passes the time it is necessary to integrate each step, each change, before moving to the next.
Take an example
Take the example of drinks. Everyone knows that the best drink is water. But for one who loves soda or who is addicted to a drink, it is necessary to take the time to replace sugary soft drinks by the zero-calorie soda, then introduce pure water, and then to space aperitifs, learn to enjoy a tea rather than hot chocolate, etc.
Replace bad habits by more qualitative, requires time. The same goes for the management of fiber intake, replacing food with high glycemic indexfoods low glycemic index to reduce consumption ofsaturated fatsin favor of unsaturated fats.
Better change that takes 2 to 3 years but will be integrated gradually to his new life, rather than a sudden change that will be held for 3 months.
Should he get help?
Everything depends on the psychological barriers, capacity analysis, and knowledge of each diet. But for those who feel the need exists in many hospitals, practical workshops coordinated by dieticians who can initiate and advance in the dietary change.
