These are the days of increased disposable incomes, sedentary lifestyles, and large servings. The corollary is that approximately every person is fighting the battle of the bulge. And often it seems that it's a losing battle. Obesity is the scourge of millions: it leads to all kinds of healing and psychological complications and it assumes even more alarming proportions when it occurs with diabetes. As the case is, diabetics have to live with the risk of organ damage, and they obviously wouldn't want obesity to act as the catalyst. So it is imperative that obese diabetics combat their weight problems.
For years, obese diabetics were recommended a low-calorie, low-fat diet, which surely proved to be detrimental to their health. In fact, the best way to tackle obesity is to attack it at its root, and the root is not fat but carbohydrates. Dietary fat is not effortlessly transformed into body fat, so severely limiting it will not solve the problem. Restricting the intake of carbohydrates is the only way out; firstly, because it keeps tabs on blood-sugar levels and secondly, because it keeps obesity at bay.
Diabetic Weight Loss Diets
In a low-carb diet, sugar in its raw form and especially aerated drinks, confectioneries, and white flour should be taken only in minuscule amounts. These hit the bloodstream right away and raise the blood-glucose levels. Furthermore, these are instantaneously converted to fat cells. On the other hand, there's a group of carbohydrates, termed complex carbohydrates, which are not so harmful. They are comprised of food items like bread, pasta, cereal, etc. The body takes a longer time to break them down; as such it takes that much longer to change them into fat cells.
