How this plan eats: every meal pairs protein and non-starchy vegetables with a modest portion of slow carbs (beans, lentils, oats, berries), and skips sugary drinks, white bread and refined pasta. Net carb counts are rough per-serving estimates.
Eating this way, plus losing weight, has put many people with prediabetes and early type 2 diabetes back into normal blood-sugar range; in the DiRECT trial nearly half of participants reached remission within a year. Keep taking any medication as prescribed and talk with your doctor before changing it, since lower-carb meals can drop blood sugar quickly on some medicines.
