Diabetes

A weight-neutral approach to managing diabetes focuses on the balance of blood sugar levels and overall health rather than focusing on weight loss as a primary goal.

 Strategies include:

• Focusing on nutrient-dense foods (e.g., whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables) that help stabilize blood sugar levels.

• Incorporating regular physical activity that supports metabolic health, regardless ofweight changes.

• Mindful eating practices to prevent overeating and support long-term sustainable habits.

• Monitoring blood sugar levels and adjusting medications as needed, without the emphasis on weight loss as a solution.
