Try the 1200 Calorie Diabetic Diet

Filed under: Information — ubiposter @ 3:25 pm

Because normal food contains so many calories, people will wonder how it is possible to stick to a 1200 calorie diabetic diet.  A disadvantage of this type of diet is the fact that you wouldn’t be able to eat out very often as restaurants and diners are well known for their calorie laden food.  If you find yourself having difficulty trying to stick to 1200 calories, here are some tips for good ways of trying to measure the food you eat.

•    12 fluid ounces of a drink is one can of soda.
•    Asked about one cup of food? Well, this is equivalent to a handful.
•    If you want to know what three ounces of cooked meat is, well, it’s about the size of a normal deck of playing cards.
•    A cube of cheese of about an inch is the same as an ounce.

Are you look for some fast and simple ideas for foods to integrate into your 1200 calorie diabetic diet?  Check out these great but simple ideas to help you stay on the right side of your 1200 calorie limit.

For breakfast, have about 6 ounces of a starch (cereal, bread), a fruit, a cup of milk, and a small amount of meat or meat substitute (a poached egg, for example).

Lunch time could bring you a small sandwich with two ounces of proteins (tuna or meat would be good), half a cup full of veg such as celery or lettuce, a few slices of tomato and a little piece of bread.  On the side, you could have, for example, some fruit and a free food as a treat - maybe a diet soda or something like that.

Your main meal of the day, dinner, also needs to be fairly small in size.  In normal circumstances, you should only have two ounces of a protein food, starch to about half a cup, a bit of fat (margarine maybe?), a cup of veg, some fruit and some milk as a drink.  At the end of your day, you could have some fruit as a desert.

We hope these pointers help you out in your 1200 calorie diabetic diet struggles.
