I am now pre-diabetic (I was expecting this) and advised by my doctor to try and reverse it with 'lifestyle changes.' Looking for authoritative non-faddish advice on what that might be.
The longer version: strong family history and I had gestational diabetes when pregnant. I knew this day would come :-)
I get a lot of activity (my daily commute involves at least 40 minutes of walking) and plan to add some more formal weight training/gym stuff.
I know I could stand to lose some weight and my diet could use some cleaning up (I'm a single parent and we order in too much). But there is so much conflicting information on the best diet for this. There is the forks over knives approach, where you don't limit carbs, but you are vegan. Related, the 'vegan until dinner' approach (Mark Bittman). Info is also out there, much of it dodgy-seeming, on hormone regulation, glucose spikes, reducing pesticides and toxins etc.
When I was pregnant, the 'standard' recommendation was that one carb 'unit' is 15 grams and you could have 1-2 units per snack and 3-4 units per meal. Is this still the best way? Or are some of the above-mentioned ideas actually new and useful? How can I cull out the TikTok noise and actually learn what is current best practice |
