Recommended Meals a Day for Diabetes Reversal: The Ayurvedic Approach

Introduction

One of the most overlooked aspects of diabetes reversal is meal timing and frequency. Many people believe they need to eat small meals every 2-3 hours, but Ayurveda recommends structured, balanced meals that align with your body’s natural digestive cycles (Sharma & Patel, 2018).

At the Diabetes Reversal Clinic (DRC) by EliteAyurveda, under the expert guidance of Dr. Soumya Hullanavar, we help patients adopt an Ayurvedic meal plan that supports stable blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, and long-term diabetes reversal—without extreme diets or medication dependency (Verma, 2019).

🍽️ How Many Meals Should You Eat for Diabetes Reversal?

According to Ayurveda, the best approach to eating for diabetes reversal is:
✅ 3 well-balanced meals per day
✅ 4-6 hours between meals to allow digestion and insulin reset
✅ Light dinner before sunset to prevent sugar spikes overnight (Sharma & Patel, 2018).

🔹 Why Not Frequent Snacking?

• Every time you eat, insulin is released. Frequent eating keeps insulin levels high, worsening insulin resistance.
• Longer gaps between meals allow insulin sensitivity to improve naturally.
• Properly spaced meals prevent blood sugar crashes and cravings (Verma, 2019).
