Kiana Sanders understood she had to change once she received a prediabetes diagnosis. She concentrated on a low-carb meal plan that stabilised her blood sugar while still enjoying great cuisine instead of depending on limiting diets.
“I wanted not to feel as though I was missing something,” Kiana explains. “So I developed satisfying meals without generating blood sugar spikes.”
She likes sautéed spinach and scrambled eggs topped with avocado for breakfast. “It’s loaded with healthy fats and protein, which helps me to maintain morning blood sugar stability,” she says.
Usually lunch is a large salad with grilled chicken topped with almonds and a homemade olive oil dressing. “The secret is to include fibre and protein so I stay full without needing bread or rice,” she says.
She likes grilled salmon for dinner either with roasted veggies or a zucchini noodle stir-fry. She says, “I used to rely on pasta but now I swap it out for veggie-based alternatives.”
Kiana has also discovered clever strategies to meet her needs. “I choose Greek yoghurt with cinnamon or a handful of almonds instead of sweet snacks,” she explains.
Kiana feels more active and her blood sugar levels have stayed constant since she changed to a low-carb diet. She notes, “I no longer have those afternoon crashes and I don’t feel the need to snack all day.”
Her guidance is “Look for low-carb substitutes for your favourite dishes and concentrate on nutritious foods. Little changes taken over time add up.
Knowing that every mouthful is enabling Kiana to take charge of her health, she now enjoys her meals free from concern.
