What is a controlled carbohydrate diet?

This diet is useful for patients with diabetes. In a controlled carbohydrate diet, meals contain proportional amounts of foods rich in carbohydrates. This means that the amount of carbohydrate-rich foods in breakfast, lunch and dinner is the same. This stability helps to control blood sugar. In this diet, meals should be balanced, that is, foods from all main groups (starches, fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy products, chicken and fish, meat with low-fat meat products and healthy fats) are selected.

Controlled carbohydrate diet guide:
