Insulin resistance and vegetarian?
Posted on Feb 10, 2010 under insulin resistance diet | 1 CommentCan you be a vegetarian who is trying to control their insulin resistance? I understand protein is a part of a vegetarian diet, but for insulin resistant people their amount of carbohydrates have to be controlled.
Is there anyone who is both?
Although being insulin resistant isn’t quite like being diabetic, the idea is to watch your carbs carefully. Lower-carb eating and vegetarianism don’t mix well because it’s very limiting. You need to minimize your intake of bread, potatoes, rice, fruit, starchy veggies, and sweets. You’ll need to put your focus on eggs, tofu, beans and lentils (watch the quantities), and green leafy veggies. Are you open to eating fish or albacore tuna? That would help.
