Whole foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and seeds are packed with nutrients and fiber. These foods are less processed and provide more health benefits than their refined counterparts. Aim to fill your plate with a variety of colorful fruits and veggies to ensure you’re getting a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals.
Pro Tip: Make half of your plate vegetables at every meal and try to eat them first before you eat a bit of carbs. A 2017 study examining 16 people with type 2 diabetes found that when people ate veggies first and carbs last, their blood sugar levels rose much less—by about 53%—compared to when they ate carbs first. This suggests that delaying carbohydrates in a meal could help keep blood sugar levels more stable.
