You might disagree, but hear me out.
Being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes could be a blessing in disguise.
There is now no place to hide.
You cannot ignore the fact that the lifestyle choices you made in the past have now compromised your health.
You've got a serious disease and have increased the risk of heart disease, stroke and many other health complications.
But, once the initial shock of being diagnosed as a diabetic is over, you need to respond positively.
A diet for Type 2 diabetes sufferers is an absolute must.
Yes you may have tried diets in the past and failed.
But this time it's different.
You cannot afford to fail.
Your life depends on it.
Here are some of the rules that must be followed if your diet for Type 2 diabetes is to succeed.
1.
Watch Your Language Your subconscious does not know the difference between fact and fiction.
If you say things like "I love pizza" or "I love cookies" then your mind will respond and increase your longing.
You love your partner, your family.
You may like some foods more than other but love? No.
2.
There Is No Quick Solution It took many years to get you to the size and shape you are today.
Fad diets don't work and they will not help your control blood glucose level.
Don't try to lose weight too quickly.
That's a recipe for failure.
3.
Commit To Learning To be able to sustain a long term healthy eating plan you will need to learn how to read and interpret food labels, understand the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) of carbohydrates.
And why not improve your cooking skills too.
4.
Find The Right Eating Plan For You A low GL diet is an ideal diet for Type 2 diabetes sufferers as it helps control your blood glucose and insulin response to foods.
Its high fiber content, and focus on quality fats and proteins means that you get the right balance of nutrients whilst still losing weight.
However other diets such as the Type 2 diabetes food pyramid, calorie counting can work too.
You want a plan that you can stick to.
5.
Commit to An Exercise Program Eating the right quantity of the right foods is not enough.
You need to be more active.
Find activities that you will enjoy.
