the Plant-Based Plate |
The plant-based plate is divided in four parts: 25% of fruits, 25% of grains, 25% of vegetables, and 25% of legumes. In other variation, the 25% of legumes is changed for proteins.
Natalie Castro, Registered Dietitian with Baptist Health South Florida, says diabetics that go completely plant-based within three weeks can reduce their glycemic index significantly and see a huge improvement.
