Healthy Eating guide from Diabetes Australia

Just stumbled upon this helpful guide following links from the Diabetes Australia facebook page. Unbelievable the rubbish they are telling people to eat - no wonder we are getting sicker and sicker as a nation.

"They are based on scientific evidence and research".

OK, I'm scared.

It's still pushing the usual carbohydrates, bread, pasta, rice .....

This guide is for healthy eating in general, not for diabetics. Like the UK Eatwell plate it probably represents a much better diet than that which some people are eating. Remember that there are those that never eat fruit and vegetables and have fast food several times a week. For these people it is an improvement, where it goes wrong is to use the same recommendations for diabetics.

The Danish Diabetes Association, together with The Danish College of General Practitioners
published a 80 page booklet "Guide for Type 2 Diabetes."

This paragraph surprised me:

"A modest amount of sugar, up to 50 grams, has no significant influence on the blood sugar,
if it is distributed evenly throughout the meals of a day."

I think it would have quite an influence on mine.

Is that 50g of refined sugar as per the sort we put in our tea?

Yes, they mean caster sugar.

I am surprise there isn't any disclaimer to say that all of us are different and for some of us, less carbs and more saturated fats are a healthier option...

Some might say it's not healthy eating even for non-diabetics as the amount of carbs is generally too high and can move people into T2

I think high carbohydrate is not all good. It is better to have protein diet with little bit of carb. One needs to maintain one'S glucose levels thought the day.

It might be for healthy eating in general, but I took it straight from the Diabetes Australia website, so it's safe to assume that others looking for advice on how to eat 'diabetic' will think that this is the way to eat.

It is interesting to note that it takes only around 120 days of low fat wholesome grain feeding to give beef a better marbling and layer of fats.
