Los hidratos de carbono y diabetes tipo 2

Como una dieta controlada diabético tipo 2, he estado tratando con problemas alimentarios relativas a esta enfermedad durante los últimos nueve meses. Estoy totalmente indicará que la nutrición adecuada es importante para todos los individuos, especialmente los diabéticos. Los carbohidratos (hidratos de carbono, por ejemplo) son esenciales para una dieta equilibrada y con moderación puede ayudar a controlar la enfermedad.

No estoy familiarizado con los detalles del tratamiento del Dr. Vernon o sus calificaciones, aunque estoy seguro que sus intenciones son bien fundadas. Sin embargo, creo que el debe considerarse lo siguiente:


  • Mientras que los carbohidratos son frecuentemente compuesta de azúcares (que deben estar estrechamente controlados), hidratos de carbono y muchos no se permitirá la liberación lenta digestión de los componentes de glucosa en la sangre que ayudan a evitar picos excesivos (picos agudos y valles) en nuestros niveles de azúcar en la sangre. Los carbohidratos que ayudan a que se refiere son por mi médico como

  • Muchos diabéticos tipo 2 con frecuencia sufren de otros trastornos. Dieta extremos, tales como los enfoques extremadamente baja en carbohidratos o altas en proteínas, puede afectar a estos diabéticos. Como un ejemplo, yo soy propenso a la gota, un trastorno relacionado con exceso de ácido úrico en el torrente sanguíneo. Cualquier restricción significativa de carbohidratos puede resultar en un aumento relativo de proteínas provoca un aumento de la concentración de ácido úrico y, eventualmente, un ataque de gota.

  • Las verduras son típicamente altas en carbohidratos, comparada con las grasas y las proteínas. Muy restringir los carbohidratos puede llevar a una persona a dieta restringiendo los alimentos buenos, como las verduras, y eso es malo.
La necesidad de la pérdida de peso suele ir mano a mano con diabetes tipo 2. Controlé mi diabetes con dieta y ejercicio. Dentro de los seis meses siguientes al diagnóstico, yo estaba totalmente fuera de la medicación para la diabetes. En el proceso, he perdido más de 125 libras. Lo hice mientras come una dieta equilibrada que contenía un nivel moderado de hidratos de carbono. Mi médico me dio algunas pautas simples:


  • Limite la ingesta calórica diaria de aproximadamente 1.000 calorías menos que mi cuerpo utiliza. Puede resolver esto, vaya a www.caloriecontrol.org para encontrar cifras exactas sobre el metabolismo de base y las calorías quemadas para muchas actividades en común.

  • También grabar un número significativo de calorías cada día sólo para mantener a nuestros paliza de los corazones, nuestros órganos en funcionamiento, y nuestro calor corporal a 98,6 grados. Esto se puede aproximar calculando alrededor de 12 calorías por libra de peso. Para una persona de 150 libras, es decir unos 1.800 por día. Añadir 600 calorías de la actividad diaria y el ejercicio y se obtiene 2.400 calorías diarias en su metabolismo. Una más que la dieta adecuada de 1.400 calorías de la ingestión de alimentos por día dará lugar a la mencionada diferencia de 1.000 calorías y una pérdida de peso semanal de 2 libras por semana! Por cierto, una libra de grasa es más o menos 3.500 calorías. Por tanto, al comer 500 calorías menos al día de las que quema, perderá peso a una tasa de 1 libra por semana. En 1.000 por día, entonces es de 2 libras por semana!

  • El doctor también sugirió que las calorías que ingieren, independientemente del monto, que se divide en 50 por ciento de carbohidratos (de los cuales la mitad son
Así es como yo lo hice y funcionó! Nunca me he sentido mejor y todas las pruebas de sangre revelan que mi salud en general es excelente.
