[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am struggling with this as well, but because I am at very high risk for diabetes. There is a lot of research out there on lowering diabetes risk, but it seems it generally points to a low-carb low-fat diet being the best. So I'ts a real challenge for me to eat more plant-based meals that are also not very high in carbs. One example of what I do is front load a lot of veggies and then eat a small portion of lentils and rice. I am considering starting to eat tofu but I'm worried because of the controversy surrounding it--also never grew up eating it.[/quote]

There is an entire medical team in Washington DC that is centered around: Vegan Diet for Diabetes. And they have a meal program: https://www.pcrm.org/vegankickstart

Greenfare in Herndon has pre-packaged meals for the kickstart that includes blood tests. And cooking lessons on how to make those meals.

The guy who founded this is: Neal Barnard and he authored a number of medical papers on diabetes. He is considered legit in diabetic research. You can see his papers on pubmed just search for his name.  The more that referenced his papers the more prestigious the paper. You can argue individual points on each paper but the reference to his papers are where the diabetic research is going to.

Also, the nutrionfacts.org guy lives in Maryland. You should be covered by heavy weights in this field.[/quote]
