Is a plant-based diet too high in carbohydrates to control diabetes?
It's the end of Season 3 and this week's nugget is all about why healthy carbohydrates (the mainstay of wholefood plant-based diets) are no bad thing when it comes to diabetes. We think many health professionals still need to hear that trying to focus solely on protein, to the exclusion of all the wonderful things in carbohydrate rich foods such as fruits, beans, and seeds, is hard work, seemingly unsustainable and therefore unlikely to deliver long term results.
