**__What is the Sugar Free Diet? __**



The Sugar free diet is usually obtained by [|Diabetics]who are usually prohibited from eating sugar due to the lack of insulin developing in their bodies. In this diet, all the food groups are included except of sugar and some kinds of carbohydrate, such as sticky rice, as they break down into complex sugar in a very less amount of time and thus would increase the sugar level of the patient. The ideal foods would be to eat basmati rice in this diet as it is the best rice and carbohydrate for diabetics in this diet as when the carbohydrates break down into simple sugar, the sugar level wouldn’t increase too much.

Pizza are a main pain when it comes to sugar free diets, as Pizza doesn’t contain a lot of sugar, it contains a lot of fats, and fats are a type of complex sugar, which breaks down and increase the sugar level. However, there are some types of food which help stabilize the sugar level for diabetics, and thus are recommended in the sugar free diet, these foods include bitter melon and usually anything that is bitter will help stabilize the sugar level. Thus, there are some fruits in which are very harmful to the patients and thus is not recommended in the diet, such as Mangoes and Grapes, as they contain a lot of sugar and thus would break down as simple sugar, immediately shooting up the patient’s sugar level.

Thus, it would be altered to the preferences and benefits of diabetics, and to the healthiest foods. Thus, there are some dairy products that are high- fat milk which would barely affect the sugar level but do have some effect on it, which is why it would be safer to drink low fat milk.
