Candy, Yes!

Yeaah (the sound of my son screaming yes)….

Halloween is right around the corner; it is time to

go trick or treating! The time has come; throw away your healthy diet books and get to work; eat.

Wait, question: Are you a diabetic? Press your brakes, are you sure you want to eat that candy? Even if you are not a diabetic, are you sure you want to eat that candy?

Halloween is one of America’s famous holiday’s, when an over indulgence of sweets awaken.

Are you going to eat your candy of your choice, this Halloween?

Go ahead and plead the 5th, don’t incriminate yourself!

The post consumption blood level evidence will reveal the truth, I think; but, maybe not, we will see…

Have Fun Eating

I know you are thinking candy is the worst thing to eat as a diabetic, right? Correct, but with an exemption of famous Dark Chocolate!

Yea… I know you are thinking that the last thing you should eat is chocolate, to help manage your diabetes.

But, although chocolate may have excess fat and calories-----the health benefits of dark chocolate can’t be ignored or better yet neglected, even you shouldn’t deny its health benefits!

Studies prove that dark chocolate actually improves blood insulin sensitivity; meanwhile, decreasing high blood sugar levels!

When I say dark chocolate, I’m not talking about M&M’s!

I’m talking, high quality dark chocolate that is sold in most health food stores, and grocery stores.

Be sure to never disregard its content; the bars that contains at least 70% cocoa, is the bar of choice.

When looking at the fat and sugar content, be sure that it is low. Shop around a little until you find a brand you like.

Do this!

Enjoy eating chocolate in moderation, so it does not interfere with your ability to maintain blood sugar levels.

Since you may be dealing with diabetes, know that a square or two of dark chocolate no more than 3 times a week (every other day) is enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.

In addition, take in account your calorie intake and only eat this as a snack replacement not as a meal conjunction (don’t eat it with other snacks of foods).
