Some of
them have catchy titles or gimmicks that may help you stick to them for a while. Most of them offer sensible advice, but a few are not based on any scientific or nutritional principles at all. You really need to read and compare them with common sense and a healthy dose of skepticism.
Over the past thirty years, some things have been found consistently.
It turns out that the same diet that helps protect against obesity helps prevent cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, too. We should all eat less fat, especially animal fat. We should replace saturated animal fat with unsaturated fats, especially monounsaturated fats like olive oil. We should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, especially those that contain fiber (like lentils and beans). Sometimes it is tricky to eat this kind of diet if you have diabetes. Lots of fresh fruits contain a lot of sugar and so can push your blood glucose levels high. Talking to a nutritionist or dietitian can be very helpful to get advice about how to incorporate these into your diet without causing your blood glucose to go up too much.
