Step1
Portion control is critical. It seems like everytime we go out to eat, we are asked if we want to supersize our meal or upgrade to a large size and most times we end up saying yes. Many restaurants are now required to make nutrition information available to their patrons. However, keep in mind that nutrition information given is usually per serving. You need to stop and evaulaute how many servings are really in the meal you are consuming. You would be suprised to know that one meal that is supersized can be 3-4 servings.Step2
Exercise, exercise, exercise. Maintaining a healthy weight is one of the best ways to fight off diabetes. Dieting alone will not do the job. This doesn't mean you need to be at the gym everyday. A simple brisk walk after meals is enough to make a difference.Step3
Eat the right foods. Whole grains, fruits and vegetables are essential to a healthy diet and can greatly reduce your chances for diabetes. Chicken and fish should also be consumed 1-2 times weekly. 1-2 servings of dairy per day can also reduce your risk.
