Food Choices






Meat: Beef,chicken, turkey, lamb, and game meats are all excellent sources of protein. Choose lean cuts of meat to keep the fat content down.

Fish and seafood: Salmon, tuna, shrimp, and other types of fish and shellfish are high in protein and often low in fat. They also contain healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

Eggs: Whole eggs are a great source of protein, as well as vitamins and minerals. Egg whites are almost pure protein, so they’re a great choice for those watching their calorie intake.

Dairy products: Milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products are rich in protein and also provide calcium and other important nutrients.

Nuts and seeds: Almonds, peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds are all high in protein and healthy fats.

Why Do Carbohydrates Matter?
Why Carbohydrates Matter
Carbohydrates are vital since they provide energy and essential vitamins and minerals. Carbohydrates are also the primary foods that affect glucose levels. Nearly 100% of digestible starches and sugars eventually become glucose after eating. Glucose is then released into the bloodstream to provide immediate energy needs or stored in the muscle and liver as glycogen. (Excess glucose is converted to fat for storage.) What Carbohydrates to Avoid:- Refined Grains & starches: rice, quinoa, oats, corn, potato, breads, cereals, some beans and legumes
- Fruits
- Milk and yogurt
- Sweets and treats: baked goods, candy, juice, soda
What Are Proteins?
Proteins and Fats
Proteins (like meat, poultry, fish, and eggs) and fats (butter, oils, nuts) have less impact on blood glucose.- Fiber: Although most dietary fiber is not digestible, it contributes to digestive health. Fiber can be found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
- No Storage Fats
- Fiber: Although most dietary fiber is not digestible, it contributes to digestive health by helping to keep you regular and feeling full after a meal. Fiber can be found in fruit and vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
Increased Physical Activity
Physical Activity and Hydration
