Purchased Chinese Food

Thought to be the healthier choice as opposed to burgers and chips, Chinese food is in fact quite sneaky in its sugar and fat content. Skipping the white jasmine rice and noodles does not justify a meal in a Chinese resturant. Restaurant cooked and takeaways are usually extravagant in the amount of saturated oil and seasoning used. Entrées like the loved sweet and sour pork or orange chicken are deep-fried before being coated in a thick sugary starchy sauce.

Tip: Opt for non-deep fried entrées or whip up a modified diabetes-friendly recipe at home.
