Think Twice Before Eating These Foods
Here at Diabetic Living, we stress over and over the fact that eating with diabetes doesn't have to mean deprivation, starvation, or bland and boring foods. However, that doesn't mean anything goes when it comes to filling your meal plan. Some foods really are best left on the table or in the store. Everyone -- with diabetes or without -- would be wise to avoid or limit the foods on this list because they are high in saturated fat and trans fat, which contribute to heart disease risk. The foods are also high in added sugar, which is an empty source of calories that can lead to weight gain.
If you see some of your favorite foods on this list, don't lose heart: We've picked several healthier options for you to choose from. So you can have your fries and eat them, too, provided they're baked rather than deep-fat fried.
