Do you have "sugar obesity"? The survey pointed out that more than one million people with diabetes in China have excessive blood sugar and BMI, and belong to the group of people with diabetes and obesity. Doctors say that when diabetes is combined with obesity, blood sugar can easily get out of control and increase the risk of death. If you want to control sugar and lose weight at the same time, in addition to eating less oil, less salt, less sugar and more fiber, moderate intake of whey protein is also a good choice.
Diabetes Care Foundation CEO Cai Shize pointed out that the number of people with diabetes in Taiwan is as high as 2.27 million, which is equivalent to 1 in 10 people suffering from diabetes; and patients with diabetes are defined as those with a BMI greater than 27 Because patients are overweight, they usually have three high blood pressure problems, which significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and death.
People with diabetes and obesity should control their metabolism and check their blood sugar
In addition, diabetic patients may lose weight after receiving treatment, especially after taking certain oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin. Increase. If the patient is already overweight, his blood sugar will not be well controlled. This dilemma creates headaches for both doctors and patients. After all, if your weight continues to exceed the standard, it will also affect your sugar control.
Therefore, it is recommended that obese patients with diabetes, in addition to consulting a nutritionist to provide suitable recipes, also need to take medications according to the doctor's instructions. At the same time, they need to test their blood sugar at least 6 times a week, before and after three meals. You can also control your weight through exercise, 5 times a week, 30 minutes each time, to increase fat consumption and achieve both sugar control and weight loss.
Diabetics can easily cause hypoglycemia by eating small and frequent meals
Cheng Hanyu, a home care nutritionist in Taipei City, pointed out that most people can indeed survive by eating small and frequent meals or not eating at all. , to achieve the goal of weight loss. However, for diabetic patients, eating small and frequent meals can easily cause hypoglycemia. If the patient does not know how to choose food wisely, he or she will easily fall into a dietary landmine of high sugar, high salt, and fat. In the mud.
In particular, it is necessary to balance sugar control and weight loss. If the proportion of carbohydrates in the diet can be reduced and the intake of high-quality protein can be increased, it can help reduce the range of blood sugar changes, control weight at the same time, and more effectively reduce Risk of cardiovascular complications due to diabetes.
Moderate intake of whey protein is a good helper for sugar control and weight loss
It is recommended that diabetics can supplement "high-quality protein" in an appropriate amount. High-quality protein can help suppress appetite and increase satiety. Since "whey protein" is a complete protein, it is easily digested and absorbed by the human body. It secretes hormones through the intestinal tract and indirectly promotes the insulin secretion mechanism, helping to stabilize blood sugar.
The latest international research also points out that if diabetic patients are given whey protein for breakfast, the patient's weight can be reduced by 7.6 kilograms compared to other proteins. For diabetic patients, whey protein can be regarded as a good helper in controlling sugar and losing weight, so that people with diabetes no longer face the dilemma of "losing weight and controlling sugar".
Thoughtful reminder:
Although whey protein can be obtained from ordinary food, the food you eat is not only protein, but also fat and carbohydrate. If it is not accurately controlled, It is very possible to take in extra calories, which may not be beneficial to diabetic patients. It is recommended that patients consult a doctor or nutritionist and choose diabetes-specific nutritional supplements with less oil, less salt, less sugar, more fiber, and added whey protein to help them lose weight. Both weight and sugar stability meet the standards.
