1. Vegetables. Packed with powerhouse nutrients, vegetables are naturally low in calories, and they're full of fiber, so they're plenty filling. Loading your plate with vegetables will automatically mean you're eating fewer simple carbs (which raise blood sugar) and saturated fats (which increase insulin resistance). Aim to get four or five servings a day. (A serving is 1/2 cup canned or cooked vegetables or 1 cup raw vegetables.) Go easier on starchy vegetables -- including potatoes, corn, and peas -- which are higher in calories than other vegetables.

i have type 1 diabetes and controlled by insulin its not the calories you have to watch it's the carbohydrates, as for fruit and myself it is not the worst thing for a diabetic with type 1, fruit included into your diet when carb counting is ok, As i have talked to my dietician and yes fruit and veg is perfectly ok as long as you are able to count it proparly, and also adjust your insulin for each carb u take,as the insulin i take is the lantus which is a lot easier to control than the old stuff

Are you crazy? Please people, especially Type1 diabetics, don't listen to this advice. I don't know where this information came from but it is so wrong. Fruit? are you serious? that is the worse thing for any Diabetic. Talk to a trained nutritionist if you have questions.

The carbs are bad but the high fiber content negates the carbs. Subtract the amount of fiber from the carb content to get net carbs. It's good advice if you eat in moderation.
