This is a simple way for people with diabetes to plan meals. As a matter of fact, its a good way for everybody to start their way towards healthier eating habits. This method can help you eat the right amount of carbohydrates and keep your blood sugar levels under control. Carbohydrates naturally raise your blood sugar level. Your blood sugar level can rise too high if you eat too much bread, cereal, starchy vegetables, fruit, milk, yogurt, and sweets………all at one time. The plate method also helps with moderation. Let’s say you eat the above plate and want to come back for seconds. Create the same plate MINUS the 1/4 of starch….so, just veggies and more protein only.
