A member asked:

Can following a diabetic diet plan if i'm not diabetic be beneficial in any way?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: While is there is no such thing as a true diabetic diet, diabetics are usually coached on eating healthier, including low fat, low cholesterol, and low carbohydrate meals which usually means fewer calories. All of the above can lead to beneficial weight loss and healthier foods.
