1500 Diabetic calorie Diet

Here you need to follow this if you want to maintane your sugars or to lose weight. I find it hard at times to follow. But I do try. I will post what can be exchanged and what you need to put in its place if you exchange.

Here is a simple one:

Serving Sizes: Use the list below to measure foods and serving sizes. A serving size means the size of food after it is cooked or prepared.


1 pint or 2 cups (16 fluid ounces) of liquid is the size of 1-1/3 soda-pop cans.
1-1/2 cup (12 fluid ounces) of liquid is the size of a soda-pop can.
1 cup of food is the size of a large handful, or 8 fluid ounces of liquid.
1/2 cup of food is about half of a large handful, or 4 fluid ounces of liquid.
2 tablespoons (Tbsp) is about the size of a large walnut.
1 tablespoon (Tbsp) is about the size of the tip of your thumb (from the last crease).
1 teaspoon (tsp) is about the size of the tip of your little finger (from the last crease).
3 ounces of cooked meat, fish, or poultry is about the size of a deck of cards.
1 ounce of cooked meat, fish, or poultry is about 1/4 cup (c).
One ounce of hard cheese is about a 1 inch cube.
A serving of vegetables is 1/2 cup (1/2 handful) cooked, or 1 cup (1 handful) raw.

Cabbage Soup 7 day plan

Remember: This diet should only be followed for 7 days at a time, with at least two weeks in between.

Day One:
Fruit: Eat all of the fruit you want (except bananas). Eat only your soup and the fruit for the first day. For drinks- unsweetened teas, cranberry juice and water.

Day Two:
Vegetables: Eat until you are stuffed will all fresh, raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. Try to eat leafy green vegetables and stay away from dry beans, peas and corn. Eat all the vegetables you want along with your soup. At dinner, reward yourself with a big baked potato with butter. Do not eat fruit today.

Day Three:
Mix Days One and Two: Eat all the soup, fruits and vegetables you want. No Baked Potato.

Day Four:
Bananas and Skim Milk: Eat as many as eight bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk as you would like on this day, along with your soup. This day is supposed to lessen your desire for sweets.

Day Five:
Beef And Tomatos: Ten to twenty ounces of beef and up to six fresh tomtoes. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water this day to wash the uric acid from your body. Eat your soup at least once this day. You may eat broiled or baked chicken instead of beef (but absolutely no skin-on chicken). If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef one one of the beef days (but not both).

Day Six:
Beef and Vegetables: Eat to your heart's content of beef and vegetables this day. You can even have 2 or 3 steaks if you like, with leafy green vegetables. No Baked Potato. Eat your soup at least once.

Day Seven:
Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables: Again stuff, stuff, stuff yourself. Be sure to eat your soup at least once this day.

Cabbage Soup Diet

Cabbage Soup Recipe


6 large green onions

2 green peppers

1 or 2 cans of tomatoes (diced or whole)

3 Carrots

1 Container (10 oz. or so) Mushrooms

1 bunch of celery

half a head of cabbage

1 package Lipton soup mix

1 or 2 cubes of bouillon (optional)

1 48oz can V8 juice (optional)

Season to taste with salt, pepper, parsley, curry, garlic powder, etc.

Directions:

Slice green onions, put in a pot and start to saute with cooking spray.

Cut green pepper stem end off and cut in half, take the seeds and membrane out. Cut the green-pepper into bite size pieces and add to pot.

Take the outer leafs layers off the cabbage, cut into bite size pieces, add to pot.
Clean carrots, cut into bite size pieces, and add to pot.
Slice mushrooms into thick slices, add to pot.

If you would like a spicy soup, add a small amount of curry or cayenne pepper now.

You can use beef or chicken bouillon cubes for seasonings. These have all the salt and flavors you will need.
Use about 12 cups of water (or 8 cups and the V8 juice), cover and put heat on low. Let soup cook for a long time - two hours works well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Here we go another day

Well here it is August 29th. I had walked for 15 minutes and it was hard. I wanted to quit, but I continued to walk. I get short of breath and so easily. My throat starts to hurt by the time I am 5 minutes into my walk. I have ot continue if I want to get healthy.

Spoke to my doctor, she told me I could use the cabbage soup diet according to the instructions. Then I could go to the 1500 calorie for a diabetic. I will list both of them here. under Soup and one under 1500 calorie. So that way if you want to know what to eat and how to make things, I am glad I cna help.  

I came across a good website that helps with food intake ot tell you waht you need to do to to get that type of food off.

Example:  McDonald's Large French Fries:

                      To burn this off...


Walk for 92 minutes

Jog for 44 minutes

Bike for 58 minutes

Swim for 50 minutes
 
 
So this is a good website. http://www.glucomenu.com/categories/restaurants/foodizer.asp?reid=746
