Miris! Ternyata Ini Cerita di Balik Foto Pengantin yang Murung
Let's face it: there are times in life when you just have to eat out, or you just want to eat out for a change. And that's perfectly acceptable. We can't cook every single meal at home, after all. But living with Type 2 diabetes, you should always be a smart diner so whether you're going to order a meal at a fast food drive-through (never recommended, however) or a family restaurant or café, you can whittle your way through the menu to select the best options for your needs... 1. Skip the sandwich. Unless the menu has an option for a 100% whole grain sandwich with a cut of real meat (processed deli cuts are loaded with sodium) and lots of vegetables, skip right over the sandwich section. All too often, these options are nothing more than white bread, processed meats, thick sauces and condiments, and little else. Look for a sandwich that specifies "100% whole grain" bread and hearty vegetables with no sauce - and only then will this be a healthy choice. Grilled chicken breast or roasted vegetables are the best types of sandwiches to order, as they contain lean protein, nutrient-dense options. 2. Be selective with sides. Don't even think about French fries: as utterly delicious as they are, they can be disastrous for your blood sugar. Order a side salad with oil and vinegar, a side of steamed rice or a plate of steamed greens. Skip the sides that are "buttered," "fried," or "creamy." 3. Get grilled. Whenever you have the option, whether it's for the entrée like chicken or fish, or the side of vegetables, choose the options that come "grilled." These options usually are lightest on oil and dressings, so they're lower in calories, fat, and sodium found in sauces on other lesser-healthy options. 4. Be wary of "low-fat" dressings and sauces. All too often, sauces touted as "low-fat" are full of sugar and salt that is just as bad, if not worse for you than a bit of fat can be. Examples of this include honey mustard or BBQ sauce: sure, they're low in fat, but they're almost all sugar and sodium. Not a diabetic's friend. Instead, choose options that are minimally dressed, if at all. Look for options that use fresh herbs for flavor, not just sauces. And when ordering salads, simply dressed is best: choose salad that have a small amount of nuts which provide healthy fats, and then dress it yourself with a bit of lemon juice and balsamic vinegar. Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2 diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and your blood sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the easier it gets.
