5 Best Diets for Diabetics

There are certain diets that were created especially for people who suffer from diabetes. One of the best ones is the DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) which is rich in nuts, fruits, and vegetables. But with the DASH Diet you will also be eating small portions of low-fat dairy, lean meat, fish, poultry, whole grains and heart-healthy fats which help to lower blood pressure, a condition many diabetics suffer from. The Mediterranean Diet The Mediterranean Diet isn't only good for diabetics but for everyone who wants to eat a bit of everything while staying healthy. In fact, this diet is one of the most popular in the world as it includes fresh, seasonal food, lots of produce, heart-healthy olive oil and - why not - a glass of wine a day. But the best thing about this diet is that it can help you control blood sugar and heart disease risk. Mark Bittman's VB6 Diet Mark Bittman's VB6 Diet could be considered a diet for vegans too as it consists mostly of plant-based foods which are all a great source of fiber. Also, none of them contain saturated fats and trans fats which are extremely damaging for everyone, and even more so for people who suffer from diabetes. The Volumetrics Diet The Volumetrics diet is slowly but surely becoming popular thanks to how healthy it is. This diet consists of water-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits. It also includes broth-based soups, which are ideal on cold days. The Biggest Loser Diet This diet is based on the extremely popular TV show and in it you will find dishes that include food groups like carbohydrates, protein and even fat while still being healthy for diabetics.
