How to Make Diabetic Recipes, How do diabetics eat three meals a day?
1. Introduction
People with diabetes do not eat 3 meals a day, they eat several times throughout the day.
They do not need to be hungry or even give up the food they like; they just need to arrange the type and amount (quantity and portion) of daily intake of food.
We must lead them in this direction so that they can take advantage of our food plan.
2. How to eat three meals a day
In his book on diabetic recipes, Chef Simon Rippon suggests that one way to make meals like these a breeze is to start with breakfast:
This recipe is a starter--it's quick and easy to prepare. And it can be used as a meal or snack. It doesn't require any special equipment, just a bit of patience. …
You'll need:
- 2 tablespoon butter or margarine (to grease the skillet)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil (for frying the sweet potatoes)
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1 cup chopped green peppers
- 3 cups chopped sweet potatoes (about 6 medium)
- 6 cups chicken or beef broth (or stock) (or tomato juice)
...and other ingredients, as you prefer: garlic powder, salt, pepper, and your favorite cheese (I use cheddar), depending on how much time you have. I start with these ingredients and add more as I need them. You can also substitute any type of seasoning you prefer for this basic recipe. For example, if you're using it as a side dish I might add some garlic powder and some cayenne pepper instead of the onion/pepper combo. ... If you're making it for others I might suggest adding more cheese or adding other seasonings to get your buddies excited about using it at your next party. ... And here are the instructions for making this basic recipe for three meals a day: 2 tablespoons butter or margarine (to grease the skillet) 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 medium sweet potato 2 teaspoons salt pepper 1 teaspoon black pepper 4 cups chicken or beef broth (or stock) (or tomato juice ) ...and other ingredients, as you prefer: garlic powder, salt, and peppers You don't have to follow this recipe exactly every single time. If you want to use it once and then move on to something else after that, that works fine too! Just make sure your food stays warm long enough for it to cook properly so that you don't burn your tongue in between those "cooking" sessions! Day one This is my very first version of this recipe, but the real reason I'm posting this today is that I got an e-mail from one of my followers who has diabetes...he asked me what he should do if he has diabetes so we could eat three meals a day without worrying about being hungry all day long! So when I saw his question on Twitter rather than just replying sent
3. The main meals of the day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
Diabetics, who have to watch their sugar level all the time, need to eat a certain amount of additional food every day. That’s why we call it a “diabetics” meal: three meals a day. The main meals of the day are breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Here’s a 7-day recipe for breakfast:
4. Snacks between the main meals and before bedtime
One of the best ways to control blood sugar levels is by eating the right foods. Diabetics need to be careful about what they eat because it is a factor in how well they control their blood sugar levels. However, many other factors could affect how well we control our blood sugar.
What if I told you that you could sum up all of those factors by simply looking at your refrigerator? If someone were to put a stopwatch on your food consumption, they would probably see that you consume approximately three meals a day, and one snack between each main meal. What if I told you that you could sum up all of those factors by simply looking at your refrigerator?
If I were to take a bite from my dinner and read in one line:
“5 ‘snacks’ for breakfast, 7 snacks for lunch, 5 snacks for dinner”,
I think most people would agree it would indeed be easier to eat some crisp vegetables in the morning than an entire bag of potato chips.

Let me tell you why: because snacking is often done on very small portions; and because snacks don't contain fat or sugar (which can cause spikes in blood sugar). When we overeat with fat or sugar we become insulin resistant — which means that our bodies have less ability to regulate insulin levels and we can sustain swings higher than normal which leads us to become diabetics. These swings are often very uncomfortable and many people end up feeling bad after eating them! (It also happens when we skip meals — as they take longer to digest).

5. Breakfast recipes (1-day menu)
We’d like to share a few recipes that can be easily put together in a day. They are mostly low-fat and nutrient-rich, but this is not what they do: they are quick, simple, and easy to make, yet incredibly satisfying.
One of my favorite breakfast foods is homemade banana bread. The best way to make it is to use two bananas (and a little sugar or honey), peel them, and cut each banana into slices about 1/4 inch thick. Depending on how large the slices are you will need anywhere from 3 to 4 medium bananas.
The first step is to let the sugar melt in the banana slices and cook them until the syrup starts to bubble up around the edges of the bananas. This takes about 10 minutes for 4 pieces of fruit (or 5 pieces for 6). When done, let them cool down for an hour or so before working with them again. Heat them just enough to bring out their flavor, which should be bright and clear.
Once they are warmed up enough, put them into a bowl (preferably metal) with a good portion of your favorite breakfast cereal along with some peanut butter and maybe honey if you have it available (that’s my go-to combination). Now you are ready to eat!
You could add cheese or some other nut butter on top, but I think it would get lost amidst all the cereal goodness. If you do that, I recommend peeling one banana after you spread out the cereal onto it so that you can eat it with as little effort as possible as well as avoiding all excess food contamination (puddles of melted sugar on your clothes or fingers). These pancakes also freeze well so that once you’re done eating half of them and realize how hungry you still are, you can start another batch right away!
6. Lunch recipes (1-day menu)
You can get quite a lot of information from the internet, but following it is not always that simple. If you take every piece of writing on diabetics, for example, and only focus on the things that apply to you (for example, “how many meals a day should I have”), it may be that what you need is more specific instructions.
This is because:
• No one person has exactly the same nutritional requirements as another;
• The number of nutrients required in different people will vary according to their age (for example, some people eat too little calcium and others too much);
• Different people require different foods to provide them with specific nutritional needs;
• Similarly, different food items contain different amounts of nutrients;
When we say that a person requires “calcium” or “protein” or “vitamin B1” or whatever — we are talking about what these foods actually do for the body. In other words, we are talking about how these foods support the body in terms of energy production and general health (making us feel good). We are also talking about how these foods support our bones and teeth, which means they also help us avoid osteoporosis. And so on.
So when we talk about consuming food we mean taking into account: 1) what food contains 2) how much 3) how much should be taken with what 3) when it should be taken 4) how long it will last in our bodies 5) which vitamins it will provide 6) whether it will cause any side effects 7) where the food is going to come from 8) which nutrients are contained in it 9) whether its source is sustainable 10) whether its safety has been verified 11). A quick trip down the nutrition facts label can give you all this information. As an example:
An important note here: there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution here. It might be better if you specifically looked at each item on your list and weighed them against each other to get a more realistic picture of what fits your dietary needs. You could then choose just one type of food that fits all those requirements and carry out testing on those meals until you find something that works for you (and even then, there may be lots of variables involved). Having said this, there are some things I do know for sure:
1.) Diabetics need to take control
7. Dinner
You’ve probably thought about dieting, but haven’t really given it a lot of thought. I think that most people who have tried to lose weight and failed are overweight or obese, which means they have diabetes. Diabetics have their own special challenges, though!
There are many diabetics whose blood sugar just isn’t able to keep up with the demands of the daily diet. Their blood sugar is out of balance often because they eat too much and too little (sometimes too frequently); or because they eat too much and not enough (sometimes too infrequently).
What I’d like to do today is talk about how diabetics should figure out how to do food logging for diabetics. It will be more detailed than what people typically need, but I’ll mostly just describe a few basic things that we all need to know. In particular, it will be very helpful if you can tell me what your blood sugar usually looks like when you eat — if you can measure it yourself!
Most importantly, you need to know what foods are best for your blood sugar level and what foods aren’t so good for it (they should be named!). Don’t worry about “best for type A” or “best for type B.” Those terms are used in the medical world but in our everyday life we don't generally consider them; instead, we just use “what works for me.” So there is no good reason why you shouldn't use "good" as a term for something that does work!
We also need to decide how much food we want to eat each day — not just what happens when we want something, but also how much variety is appropriate in our diets:
• Do I want all meals to be alike? Or would it be healthier if they were different?
• Do I want my meals to be large portions of single-serving snacks? What would smaller portions look like? How small would a portion look like?
To answer this question requires some basic knowledge of diabetes: talking with people who have diabetes or reading at least one book on the subject — may be even making an appointment with a physician who has studied diabetes (or even one of those fancy apps that diagnose blood glucose levels). You'll need a couple books on the topic and maybe even some videos as well — not so much money as time, though! There is a
