@obesitydrdannak: So you got the diagnosis of prediabetes now what? Before you go slashing carbs, I wanna remind you that fiber=a carb. & the hype is real 🥦🍏🫘🫛 For prediabetic patients: - we want to limit added sugars like sugars coming from processed foods (not fruit!) - fiber helps with improving insulin sensitivity which can prevent your a1c from worsening. - limiting liquid calories, increasing movement (esp after meals) and a modest weight reduction will all help 🙌🏻 but cutting carbs is not part of plan 🙅🏼‍♀️ While ketogenic diets are still very popular they’re unfortunately not sustainable for most people & often lead to consumption of high fat content. All evidence-based diets emphasize plants & legumes 🌱
