For most people, an Insulin Balance Diet based on balanced meals and nutrient-dense whole foods can form part of a healthy eating pattern. It does not require completely eliminating carbohydrates or other major food groups.
A balanced approach emphasizes:
Vegetables and whole fruits
Whole grains
Lean proteins
Legumes
Healthy fats
Fiber-rich foods
Limited amounts of added sugars and highly processed foods
People who take insulin or other medications that lower blood sugar need additional care when changing their eating patterns because changes in food or carbohydrate intake can affect blood glucose levels.
If you have diabetes, prediabetes, insulin resistance, take blood sugar-lowering medication, or have another medical condition, consult a healthcare provider before making significant dietary changes. A healthcare professional can help determine an appropriate approach based on your individual needs.
