LOW SUGAR-LOW FAT DIET
The no concentrated sweets, low fat diet is designed to limit the total amount of fat and sugar in the diet to reduce serum lipid levels and to achieve and maintain near normal blood glucose levels.
It is used for the person with either non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or for people who need or want to cut down on their sugar and fat intake. The calorie-controlled diet may be adapted for weight reduction and weight maintenance for individuals that do not have diabetes. It is also used for persons with elevated serum cholesterol levels or those who are high-risk candidates for heart disease.
General Guidelines
Limit total fat intake to less than 30% of total daily calories.
Reduce saturated fat intake (red meat, cheese, whole milk, butter, ice cream, etc.)
Eat less trans fat (stick margarine, shortening, cakes, pies, French fries, snack chips.)
Eat less cholesterol (limit egg yolks to more than 4 per week and meat, fish, poultry to no more than 6 ounces a day)
Reduce sugar intake.
Eat more fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grain breads, and cereals.
Maintain a healthy weight.
Exercise at least 30 minutes on most days (brisk walking, aerobics, biking, etc.)
Gradually reducing the amount of sugar by 1/4th then l/3rd then 1/2.
Use the "sweet" spices - cinnamon, cloves, ginger or nutmeg - to bring out sweetness in baked goods.
Be careful when using special diet or dietetic foods such as dietetic cake, cookies, candy and ice cream. These foods contain some form of sweetener and, therefore, calories.
