What can I eat? 
One of the biggest questions. 

• Think Fresh (make it yourself, it is better for you)
• Choose lots of green veggies (Kale, spinach, romaine lettuce, green beans) (carrots are OK, too)
  
• Whole grains (oatmeal, brown rice, quinoa, whole grain bread, whole wheat or brown rice pasta)
• Lean protein (beef, chicken, fish, pork)
• Whole fruit (apples, blueberries, all berries, oranges, pears)
  
• Low fat dairy (1% or skim milk, low fat yogurt, low fat cheese)
• Healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, nuts)

How to Eat well with Diabetes 

Plate Method

• This method of eating is called the "plate method". 
• Make your meal by splitting your plate into simple portions.

• The starchy food portion should be about the size of your fist. 
  (Men have a bigger fist than ladies and this works just right)
  
• An optional 1 cup portion of milk, yogurt or fruit completes the meal.
