Starches and Diabetes


Just starting to eat healthy because of diabetes? The first thing you should do besides limiting sugar intake is to start eating lots of starches. Starches have lots of energy packed in them and will last much longer than that sugar rush. Starches combined with whole grain can make a bigger difference than you think. Eating foods like cereal without milk, cooked black beans and a bagel with a teaspoon of jelly will fill you up faster and better than pure sugars.
Keep in mind it is still important to take in some sugars, but be sure to monitor how much sugar you consume.
