Tips for Eating Less Carbohydrates

-DR. ANUPAM GHOSE, MBBS, Diabetes Care & Education Specialist

Limit your intake of sugar-sweetened drinks

Eat less refined grain breads

Avoid fruit juices as they have no fiber

Start your day with no carbohydrates

Avoid honey as it’s also pure sugar. One tablespoon contains 17 grams of carbs, all from sugar

Always have salad to increase your fiber intake as it does not let your blood sugar spike up

Eat 15 grams of carbohydrates, wait 15 minutes, and check again. If it’s still too low, try again.

Avoid eating maida, it is a refined flour and has been stripped of fiber and nutrients.
