Being a Type 1 diabetic, I always think about even if I wanted to diet, it is not always
going to work completely because of the 'highs and lows' that we all encounter from time to time. I guess some would reply that moderation is the best way to go about eating, and then adding exercise to the equation. I do agree! Although, I have finally made the exercise thing a habit, I have not so much on the eating thing. I do well, and then sometimes you just want to sit and eat in your comfy cotton pants and watch HBO :)
Today, I read more about the Mediterranean Diet online. A large observation study is adding another feather to this diet's cap, suggesting that the Mediterranean diet helps Diabetic's maintain a healthy blood sugar. The diet consists of vegetables and fruits, whole grains, beans, cheese, and fish. I found on All Recipes website, several great recipes that would definitely satisfy an urge of any type!
Eating a Mediterranean diet is not just good for your metabolic actions, it can also lower your risk of heart disease and stroke, and improves overall brain function. They say a 'good diet' is one FULL of color ... looking at the picture I found above online, it looks like a rainbow of good food source!
