Top 10 Best Diabetes Diet Plans for 2016
Managing diabetes will not be successful unless you have a proper diabetes diet plan. But when you have so many diets, it is confusing to navigate this diet maze. Now there is some help. US News & World Report enrolled a panel experts to review and rank 38 of the most popular diets.
Each diet was scored using seven criteria, including short- and long-term weight loss, nutrition, safety and ease of compliance. These ratings were used to rank each diet in nine categories, including best overall diets, best diabetes diets, best weight-loss diets, best commercial diet plans and easiest diets to follow.
“Our rankings put hard numbers on the belief that no one diet is ideal for everybody, but the best food plans overall are sustainable,” notes Angela Haupt, senior editor of US News.
“Besides the rankings and data, each diet has a detailed profile that includes how it works, evidence that supports or refutes its claims and a nutritional snapshot – tools that, along with the advice of a physician or nutritionist, can help consumers invest in diets that suit their lifestyles and further their health and wellness goals.”
