Dieting and Blood Sugar
To maintain stable blood sugar when you
are following a weight loss program, remember to eat properly. This means:
- Eat regular meals
Breakfast, lunch, a main meal and two small between meal snacks is ideal.
- Eat plenty of foods low on the Glycemic
Index
These are the foods which are absorbed less rapidly into the bloodstream
and will help your body to produce insulin gradually, in moderate amounts,
and keep your blood-sugar level even throughout the day, thus avoiding
all the symptoms of hypoglycaemia. As a bonus, dieters will also feel
less hungry by eating a diet rich in these foods.
- Avoid highly-refined sugary foods
Like sweets, cookies, cakes and sugary drinks, and especially when eaten
as a snack/without low GI foods to counteract their effect. If you feel
the urge for a sweet snack, have one with fiber - e.g. a piece of fresh
fruit or dried fruit.
- Avoid caffeine
It can cause the pancreas to release extra insulin, thus making low
blood sugar situation worse.
