What are the key foods that a Type 2 diabetic should eat?
In general, a Type 2 diabetic should focus on eating healthy carbohydrates such as broccoli, spinach and Brussel sprouts; healthy proteins such as fish, nuts, seeds, beans, skinless chicken breast; healthy fats such as extra virgin olive oil; and healthy liquids such as filtered water, green/white tea, and raw vegetable juices. These foods will help to cleanse/detoxify the body and give a diabetic the necessary energy to exercise and burn fat. More importantly, these foods help the body to reduce its production of insulin, which is the hormone that causes the body to produce and store more fat. Excess insulin production also inhibits fat metabolism.
