Steaks for People with Diabetes – Everything You Need to KnowSteaks for People with Diabetes – Everything You Need to Know
 © Lukas Gojda | Dreamstime.com Once you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes, you have to start constantly monitoring what you eat. Very soon you realize that some foods, quite a few of them, actually, become off limits to you due to high carb and fat content. Sugary sodas, fatty sauces, and many pastas and desserts all of a sudden find themselves on your fairly substantial list of now forbidden foods. Your diet should be well-balanced, which means proteins should be a part of it. Red meat is one of the traditional sources of protein. However, it doesn’t mean that all meats are good for you. For example, you’d better stay away from processed meats, such as cold cuts, breaded meats, or meats with large amount of saturated fat, such as bacon. Nevertheless, you don’t have to take a good ol’ steak off the menu! It’s in your best interest to go for leaner cuts, such as filet mignon, rather than fattier ones. Plus, if you like your stake enhanced with some rich and flavorful sauce or gravy, you have to always be aware of what it is made of, as sauces often have a large content of sugar. Here are some of our favorite steak recipes: Beef Steak with Mushrooms and Madeira A great diabetic-friendly recipe for filet mignon.
