For diabetic patients and heart disease sufferers it is absolutely necessary to maintain a food diary. They should enlist every food taken daily and will submit this diary to the attending physician/dietician/nutritionist time to time to get good advice.

 

Foods should be measured at first to get a knowledge about weight of a regular food .One can easily use a 200 ml measuring cup or bowl. Foods should be measured after it is cooked .It is the way one can get a better idea about food weight even without measuring (just by looking at the amount of food).

 

Tea, coffee, curds, borhani should be made  from skimmed or non-fatty milk. One should get used to drink skimmed milk to avoid extra fat. Please avoid full cream milk, condensed milk, cream, sweets, chocolate, and cheese as much as possible.
