The sLOW SUGAR Eating Plan [pic]
The sLOW SUGAR Eating Plan has been developed to include a list of carefully selected foods with a low glycemic load. Low glycemic load foods absorb into your blood slower than high glycemic load foods. High glycemic load carbohydrates cause a surge in blood sugar, which is matched by a surge in insulin. During high insulin surges, the body will store excess sugar as fat and also stimulate your appetite. Low glycemic load foods cause a smaller and more gradual rise in sugar and insulin, which allows your body to use sugar as energy instead of storing it as fat. Low glycemic load foods also keep you full for longer so you will eat less without being hungry.
It has been proven that a diet containing high glycemic load foods is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and certain cancers (1). Creating healthy meals by combining low glycemic load carbohydrates (breads, cereals, pastas, cereal grains) with lean protein sources, vegetables, and healthy fats in correct portion sizes, enables you to keep your insulin and blood sugars down and therefore store less of your food as fat.
Each eating plan is personalized, nutritionally balanced, and geared towards your lifestyle and goals. Using glycemic load as the basis for your food choices there is no need to overly restrict your food intake, obsessively count calories, or starve yourself. If followed carefully and correctly, and combined with a regular routine of physical activity and exercise, you will be able to lose weight, maintain that weight loss, and avoid serious chronic diseases associated with excess body fat and high blood sugar.

WORDS OF WISDOM! [pic]
Use these pointers to form your healthy habits!
• If you shouldn’t eat it, don’t buy it!
• Don’t snack on foods while you cook. Suggestion: Sip a cup of tea or diet beverage instead to calm your desire.
• Don’t eat standing up, take your meal and eat it at the table.
• Eat slowly and enjoy. If you eat slower, you’ll enjoy your meal longer!
• It is much more healthy to lose weight slowly (1-2 pounds a week) than quickly. A combination of fat loss with gains in muscle will make it much easier to maintain your weight loss.

The sLOW SUGAR Eating Plan Guidelines:
[pic]
Guideline #1: Drink WATER! Water has no calories and is a fraction of the cost of bottled diet beverages. Drink water not only between and during meals, but also before, during, and after exercise to stay fully hydrated.
Guideline #2: Drink diet beverages. Regular soda and juice contain large amounts of hidden sugar and calories that raise your blood sugar quickly. The extra “empty” calories are then stored in your body as fat.
Guideline #3: Drink 1% or skim milk and eat low-fat dairy products. Milk, cheese and yogurt are very important for protein and calcium; however, high-fat dairy choices can add a lot of excess saturated fat to your diet.
Guideline #4: Use sugar substitutes for your daily coffee and tea instead of regular table sugar. One teaspoon of sugar contains 16 calories, which add up very quickly if consumed everyday!
Guideline #5: Choose whole grains over refined carbohydrates. Whole grains are digested in the body slower than refined grains (white flour) and keep you full for a longer period of time.
Guideline #6: Always make sure your meals are balanced with low glycemic load carbohydrates, vegetables, good sources of protein, and healthy fats. Having a balanced meal slows the absorption of sugars into the blood, which helps to keep you blood sugar and insulin levels low. This keeps you full for longer so you will ultimately eat less.

BREADS
[pic]POINTERS:
• Eat bread sparingly; no more than 3 slices a day.
• Eat breads with whole grains:

EXERCISE [pic]
• Exercise is connected to diet. It is necessary to help you lose weight and maintain your weight loss!
• Exercise helps you burn excess fat and control your blood sugars. It also helps decrease your risk of developing chronic diseases.
• Be physically active at least 30-60 minutes a day.
• Exercise moderately 30-60, minutes 4-5 times a week.
[pic]POINTERS:
• Being physically active doesn’t mean that you have to strap on your walking shoes everyday and sweat for a half hour. There are many ways to incorporate activity into your day:
o Walk around a mall.
o Clean your house with a purpose.
o Climb the stairs instead of riding the elevator.
o Walk or bike to your destination or job instead of driving a car or using public transportation.
o Park at the far end of a parking lot and walk to the store.
o Get off the bus or subway one or two stops early and walk to your destination.
o Rake leaves or shovel snow.
• Make exercise and physical activity FUN!!
o Make walking or biking a social event with your family or friends.
o Learn a new sport such as rowing or tennis.
o Keep a journal and try to beat your record week to week. Compete with yourself and others!
Your daily activity does not have to take place in only one block of time during the day. Be active all day!

[pic]POINTERS:
• The key to eating pasta is PORTION SIZE!
o It is very easy to overeat and consume large amounts of calories when eating pasta.
o Make sure to measure out your pasta, and eat about 1 cup cooked mixed with meat, beans, or vegetables for an easy lunch or dinner.
• Choose whole wheat pasta over durum wheat pasta because it is less refined and contains more fiber.

• At mealtime drink water, diet beverages, coffee or tea.
• Use sugar substitutes and 1% or skim milk in coffee and tea.
• Alcohol and alcoholic beverages are loaded with calories! Reduce calories by using diet soda.
• Avoid mixed fruity drinks made with sour mix or fruit juices and drinks made with cream or milk.

WHOLE GRAINS
[pic]POINTERS:
• Whole grains are unrefined carbohydrates. This means that the fiber in the grains are still intact. They absorb slower into your blood, and fill you up for longer periods of time.
• Whole grains are a great addition to your meals and should be eaten as a carbohydrate everyday in one, if not all of your meals.
• Add your choice of whole grains to soups, stir-fries, salads, or pasta sauces.
• Bulgur is great anytime of the day! It makes a tasty hot cereal or a nutty addition to your lunch or dinner meal!
Whole Grains Serving Size
Barley, pearled 1/2 cup cooked
Basmati Rice 1/3 cup cooked
Buckwheat 1/2 cup cooked
Bulgur 1/2 cup cooked
Couscous 1/3 cup cooked
Oats 1/2 cup cooked
Rice, brown 1/3 cup cooked
Uncle Ben’s( Converted(, white rice 1/3 cup cooked
Wild Rice 1/2 cup cooked

STARCHY VEGETABLES
[pic]POINTERS:
• Potatoes have a very high glycemic load. When eaten, your blood sugar and insulin levels increase significantly in a short amount of time. Your body quickly stores the sugars from potatoes, causing the blood sugar to then quickly decrease. These large spikes in blood sugar levels makes it difficult for a person with diabetes to control their blood sugars. In addition, a quick decrease in blood sugar induces hunger in a short period of time (1-2 hours) after you have eaten.
• Eat sweet potatoes or yams in place of potatoes. It is best to prepare them as a baked sweet potato or yam with the skin on. The skin has extra fiber. The extra fiber keeps you full longer and helps slow down the absorption of sugars into the blood.
• Peas and corn also have a much lower glycemic load than potatoes and are very easily added to soups, stir-fries, salads, or side dishes.
Starchy Vegetables Serving Size
Corn 1/2 cup
Peas, green 1/2 cup
Sweet potatoes 1/2 cup (size of a small potato)
Winter Squash 1/2 cup
Yam 1/2 cup (size of a small potato)
8

Mayonnaise (reduced-fat) 1 Tbsp
Olives 8 large
Olive oil 1 tsp
Peanut oil 1 tsp
Soybean oil 1 tsp
Safflower oil 1 tsp
* One Tbsp of salad dressing made with oil counts as a fat serving.

Sunflower seeds 1 Tbsp
Walnuts 4 halves
17
FATS [pic]
[pic]POINTERS:
• NOT ALL FATS ARE BAD!
• GOOD fats are found in plant oils, fish, nuts, and seeds.
• The idea is to cut back on saturated and trans fats while increasing your consumption of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat. Replace some of the carbohydrates in your diet with GOOD fats! This can improve your cholesterol levels and help prevent heart disease.
• By adding the correct amount and type of fat to your meals, you will be completing your meal.
• Stay away from red meats, butter and margarine, cream, and other high-fat dairy products to avoid harmful saturated fats.
• Read food labels! Those foods with over 2 grams of saturated fat or those that contain fully or partially hydrogenated oil should be avoided.
16
VEGETABLES & FRUIT [pic]
[pic]POINTERS:
• Eating and enjoying fruits and vegetables everyday has many benefits. It can lower your blood pressure, decrease your chance of having a heart attack or stroke, help protect you against cancer, and help you guard against constipation and age-related problems like cataracts and muscle degeneration.
• Fill up on fruits and vegetables so you don’t turn to high calorie snack foods when hunger hits!
• Eat fruits with skin to slow down the absorption of sugars into your blood.
• Fruits and vegetables are an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals and fiber!
• There is NO limit to the amount of fruits and vegetables you eat every day. They are very low in calories and fill you up because they are packed with fiber.

14
FRUIT
**Eat AT LEAST 2 servings of fruit a day**
[pic]POINTERS:
• If you are really hungry an hour before dinner, have a piece of fruit and a glass of water to decrease your hunger. This practice helps curb your appetite at dinnertime because you won’t be as hungry when you sit down at the table to eat your meal.
• If you choose to eat canned fruit, choose ones packed in a light syrup. Fresh fruits are always recommended over canned.
Fruit Serving Size
Apple, unpeeled 1 small
Applesauce, unsweetened ½ cup
Apple, dried 4 rings

11
DAIRY PRODUCTS [pic]
[pic]POINTERS:
• Dairy products are important because they contain protein and calcium to help strengthen your bones and aid in muscle contraction. Make your choices low-fat.
• Drink only 1% or skim milk. Whole milk and 2% milk have high amounts of saturated fat.
• Eat light yogurt. Lower sugar means fewer calories, and less effect on your blood sugar.
• Other foods such as spinach, broccoli, tofu, and breakfast cereals are also good sources of calcium, without the saturated fat.
• Use low-fat or skim milk in your coffee and tea.
• Try low-fat cheese such as low-fat ricotta, part-skim mozzarella, string cheese, or a variety of reduced-fat cheeses.
• Consume 1000 mg – 1200 mg of calcium each day:
1 cup skim milk = 300 mg
1 cup plain yogurt = 450 mg
1 ½ oz part-skim mozzarella cheese = 300 mg
1 ½ oz swiss cheese = 400 mg
• If supplements are used, choose those with calcium citrate. Take one tablet of 500 mg twice a day if you don’t eat any dairy products with meals.
Dairy Product Serving Size
Butter milk 1 cup
Cheese, low-fat 1 ounce (1 inch cube)
Ice cream or frozen yogurt, low-fat 1/2 cup
Milk (skim or 1% low-fat) 1 cup
Sour cream (half-and-half or fat-free) 2 Tbsp
Yogurt (low-fat, light) 1 cup
12
PROTEIN [pic]
*The BEST sources of protein are:
Fish, poultry, eggs, & soy products
[pic]POINTERS:
• Protein is also found in other foods like:
o Dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and cheese.
o Carbohydrates such as whole grains, breads, and pastas.
o All vegetables.
• Stay away from red meat! Red meat is considered a bad protein package because it is packed with saturated fat and cholesterol, which raises your risk of developing heart disease and stroke.
• Your eating plan is aimed to decrease your consumption of high glycemic load carbohydrates. Lean protein, when combined with healthy fats and low glycemic load carbohydrates, slow down the movement of food from the stomach to the intestine. They also promote a small and steady increase in blood sugar and insulin levels to keep you full for a longer period of time after your meal or snack.
