[quote=Anonymous]I quit being vegetarian after 20+ years because of my strong family history of diabetes and watching my aunts and mom struggle with it. It is no joke to have diabetes and it increases your risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke...not to mention nerve damage, including gastroparesis which my aunt had.

"Healthy whole grains" often aren't. Grains and beans can have huge carb loads, and subbing in whole wheat toast for white toast or whole brown rice for white rice does almost nothing to mitigate the huge carb loads those foods have. Beans are better than grains, and more nutrient-dense, but still high carb and not a whole lot of fiber to offset that.

Fruits very much vary, as PP said. Berries are great, apples are pretty good, tropical fruits like pineapples, bananas, mangos, or melons, are a huge amount of sugar for not all that much nutrition.

Exercise for sure -- and not just in a planned way; if you sit all day for your job make sure to get up and move around for at least 5 minutes every hour. Being sedentary the rest of the day can't be compensated for by exercise.[/quote]
