Top 5 Diabetes-Friendly Lunch Ideas and Recipes You Can Try

FFD Diet Protocol For Major Meals ( lunch and dinner ) is as follows


One of the most important concepts in the FFD diet protocol is the 25% formula of the two major meals. It is also called "CHAAR AANA FORMULA".

The meal plate is divided into 4 portions

  1. Salad which will be raw vegetables

  2. Sabji  is cooked vegetables,

  3. Cooked dal or pulses or sprouts and

  4. The grain–khapli gehoo/ jowar/ bajra/brown rice.


What should a diabetic eat for lunch?


The 25% Meal formula is as follows. For 1 thin roti (khapligehoo/jowar/bajra )of 6” diameter OR ½ cup cooked brown rice, there should be 1 big cup of salad ( raw vegetables), 1 big cup of cooked vegetables, and 1 big cup of dal – this becomes one serving.

For the second serving, have 1 big cup of salad first and then all other things in the same proportion. Another important piece of advice is always to start your meal with the salad.
