She also added:

Processed foods can neutralise complex carbohydrates. They can reattach excess glucose and thus regulate blood sugar levels.

What should you eat?

Prountseva also advises eating mainly fresh fruit and vegetables every day, cereals, durum wheat pasta as well as foods rich in proteins such as cheese, fish, meat, cottage cheese, egg yolk, soy and nuts.
