🍽️ Build a Healthier Plate, One Step at a Time Managing your blood sugar doesn’t have to be complicated. The Diabetes Plate Method is a simple and effective way to create low-carb meals that support your health—no counting, weighing, or measuring required. Just grab a plate and you’re ready to go! This method isn’t just for managing diabetes—it’s also a great way to prevent it and support your overall health. Start with a plate that’s about 9 inches across—this helps keep your portions just right. 👉 If your dinner plates are larger, try using a salad or dessert plate. 👉 If your plate has a rim or artwork, use the inside as your guide. Once you have the right plate, it’s time to fill it with balance: 🥦 ½ non-starchy veggies 🍗 ¼ lean protein 🍠 ¼ healthy carbs ℹ️Source: https://diabetesfoodhub.org/blog/what-diabetes-plate #UCHC⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #universalcommunityhealthcenter #healthcare #latinohealth #blackhealth #HealthyLifestyle #southlosangeles #losangeles (fb)
