Eating apples can be great for diabetic breakfast |
There
are cereals
that are made specially for diabetics, but note that those with low
carb contents can be tasteless, so you can always mix it with some
fruits to enhance the flavor. Turkey
sausage
(don't associate the word “sausage” here with fat) is also great
as it contains pure protein without any fats. Eggs
are recommended as well as they are rich in protein and low in
carbohydrates.
Oat
meal
is another popular option for breakfast for diabetics as it is
already tasty and easy to prepare (choose the “slow-cook” ones
for optimum taste). For pancakes,
choose the whole grain variety that has limited amount of sugar, and
juice it up with syrups and sweeteners specifically made for
diabetics. Whole
wheat toast
is another great option as it can be added up with veggies and fruits
to enhance the flavor.
Though
burritos
may be associated with carbohydrates, you can always choose whole
wheat tortilla to make it a healthy meal, and then add it up with
non-fat ingredients to bring out a great taste. You can choose the
whole grain variety of bagels
to avoid too much intake of carbohydrates. Fruits
such as oranges, apples, berries and peaches are advisable as well to
keep diabetes at bay. You can also make smoothies
out of fruits and mix them with low fat milk to make a tasty drink
for your breakfast.
So,
it's really easier than it looks, doesn't it? Reading these diabetic breakfast tips has surely made you realize that you need not worry
about eating. There are always great food substitutes that can help
you to still enjoy a good, hearty breakfast!
Diabetes is a very tough disease to care for. You have to make huge changes in your diet and also carefully monitor and maintain your disease.
