Veggies like cauliflower, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/what-are-the-benefits-of-zucchini-for-type-2-diabetes-patients\/\">zucchini<\/a> and squash are all easy and delicious ways to lower the amount of carbohydrates in some of your favourite dishes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/Qb3sRHM5HGRtC7hGqSc9X1EIr3E2fOu6jhLLVrzfoxVnno-1-wG3mGtjw_DqxEHj9hDTYSWfynY325DQWHe57APD5MrTBgqiRqm9YBATUFw9iPSwJxLCAIRwkDwFAk62HNzQuwJW\" alt=\"Add more flavor to your diabetic diet\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.3gdj5ootvy6x\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Focus_on_adding_flavour\"><\/span><span class=\"c4\">2.

Instead, focus on ways to add more flavour to the foods you are eating. There are so many ways to add flavor without adding sugar or salt. Freshly squeezed lemon, ginger, garlic and jaggery all are natural alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/bDU4k3WMt757Fgh_TrVA34elc9AZ-hW5saQ-soxTDyyKXMZy8xeYu6_10xoY9Sv6CtudQgr6rfB-yrVlOJKUHprYKOIbb-0uWAtqDa6gc1Os4yleDIXdew80ASRH0453IXBP53PW\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.baypyje9qwns\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Prioritize_Protein\"><\/span><span class=\"c4\">3.

Keep snacks in handy<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c0\">When you have diabetes, snacks are more than just regular treats. They can help aid weight loss and ward off low blood sugar levels and come in handy at times when you\u2019re stuck in traffic or when your meeting runs late.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c2\">If you\u2019re trying to slim down in an attempt to improve your diabetic condition, you may be tempted to skip meals. Make sure you do not do that and eat regularly. Also keeping a regular check on your blood sugar levels can help as well. A glucometer&nbsp;can come in handy for the same.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":9736,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[732],"tags":[6,7,8,53,63,48],"class_list":["post-3130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nutrition-and-food","tag-diabetes","tag-diabetes-care","tag-diabetes-management","tag-diabetic-nutrition","tag-health","tag-nutrition"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3130"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3130"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3130\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19322,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3130\/revisions\/19322"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
