How does protein-rich food benefit diabetics?

When you get used to following a certain diet it can become very difficult to feel satisfied if you omit certain foods. Indian diets for example, include white rice or rice flour dishes as well as wheat flour foods like roti. Having grown up eating these foods daily, to have to stop eating white rice or roti with every meal can be a shock to the system.

An easier way to transition from a high-carbohydrate to a diabetes-friendly diet is to substitute some of the foods with healthier alternatives. White rice and wheat can be replaced by healthier or grain-free alternatives. These प्रोटीन से भरपूर फूड substitutes not only help reduce the overall carb intake but also keep you feeling full for longer as they take more time to digest.

You can make a great breakfast with these high-protein vegetarian foods. Use red rice flour to make your idlis, dosas and poha for breakfast or make dal cheelas (savoury pancakes made from lentil flour). It not only tastes delicious, but is also rich in fibre which helps maintain normal blood sugar levels. You can replace potato bhaji with channa (chickpeas) or dal with a few pieces of potato in it. Eggs are also a good option for a high protein breakfast. You can have boiled or poached eggs with whole-grain toast to keep you full all morning.

Brown rice instead of white rice can give you the same feeling of satisfaction after a meal, but with additional nutrition value. The protein and fibre in brown rice will help to prevent sugar cravings late in the afternoon. Adding lean meat like chicken breast or fish to your meal also increases the protein food content, and ensures you get your full range of nutrition. Add a full serving of vegetables to your meal to make it a balanced diet.
