Your Balanced Diet Rules

🩸 Blood Sugar

  • Stick to the listed amounts of rice and bread, and start your meal with salad and protein before starches. Don't skip meals so your sugar doesn't drop.
  • If you feel dizzy, shaky or sweaty, eat 3 dates or Β½ cup of juice and check your sugar, then let us know so we can review your medication with your doctor.

🍽️ Balanced Diet

  • Your plate: half vegetables, a quarter protein and a quarter starch. Have fruit one serving at a time, with nuts or yogurt.

🌿 Spices

  • Use cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, garlic, lemon and herbs freely. They add flavor without calories, and cinnamon is gentle on blood sugar. Use less salt and stock cubes.

🚢 Walking & Drinks

  • Walk 1 hour a day β€” ideally 30 minutes after eating to help lower blood sugar. Avoid juices, soft drinks and sweets; tea and coffee without sugar.
🌿 Herbs and spices are not restricted in your plan. Use them freely β€” they add flavor without calories and help you use less salt: cumin, turmeric, black pepper, garlic, ginger, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon and lemon.
⚠️ Except stock cubes (Maggi) and ready-made seasonings with a lot of salt, oil or sugar.
