Avoiding Diabetes

Most people with diabetes think that they need to do what my son did with the "carbs" in their life. Maybe not throw them up, but at least avoid them like the plague.

The good news is you don't have to restrict carbs and count calories to manage or reverse diabetes. The key is actually improving insulin sensitivity and focusing on whole, nutritious foods.

Here’s how:

1. Eat the Right Carbs

The Real Problem: Insulin Resistance, Not Carb1. Eat Carbs—Yes, Really!s
Carbohydrates aren’t the enemy—insulin resistance is. The right kinds of carbs, like those found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can actually support your journey toward reversing diabetes.

Choose the Right Carbs
When you focus on complex carbs that digest slowly, like whole fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, you’ll enjoy sustained energy and balanced blood sugar.

Balance with Fiber and Protein
Adding fiber and protein to meals slows down digestion, keeping blood sugar stable. Try pairing carbs with beans, leafy greens, or other plant-based proteins for a blood sugar-friendly meal.

2. Stop Counting Calories

Focus on a Whole Foods, Plant-Based Diet
Instead of stressing over calories, focus on eating whole, nutrient-dense foods. A whole foods, plant-based diet (WFPB) provides the vitamins, minerals, and fiber that your body needs to improve blood sugar control naturally.

Eat Until You’re Satisfied
When you eat whole foods, your body’s natural hunger signals kick in. So, eat until you’re satisfied—no need to deprive yourself.

Avoid Late-Night Eating
Did you know that eating late can disrupt blood sugar control? Finishing your meals earlier in the evening allows your body time to process nutrients efficiently.

3. Enjoy Healthy Fats and Protein

Nuts and Seeds Are Good for You
Forget the myth that nuts will cause weight gain! Studies show that nuts can actually support weight management and blood sugar control, so feel free to include them in your meals.

Healthy Fats Are Essential
Incorporate healthy fats from sources like avocado, olive oil, and seeds. They improve insulin sensitivity and make meals satisfying without blood sugar spikes.

This journey is all about sustainable, joyful changes that bring lasting results. Remember, diabetes can be reversed, and we’re here with you every step of the way. If you have questions or would like guidance, don’t hesitate to reach out!
