Plan your meals around fresh vegetables, lean protein foods such as fish an poultry, and high fiber whole grains.

Eat six to eight small, well-balanced meals every day, rather than two or three large ones. If this is impractical, have three small meals plus wholesome snacks in midmorning, midafternoon, and midevening. A wholesome snack might include some raw vegetables and a bit of cottage cheese. If you wish, enjoy a small serving of unprocessed protein rich cheese, such as Monterey jack, part skim mozzarella, or Cheddar. Avoid processed cheeses.

Limit your consumption of natural sugars, including those present in fruits, honey, maple syrup, and molasses. Although natural sugar is metabolized more slowly than refined sugar, it still provokes the production of insulin. If you feel you absolutely must have something sweet, have half a piece of fruit.

Avoid refined sugars. Presweetened cereals, sodas, and refined and processed foods- even foods that don't taste sweet, such as tomato sauce and peanut butter- can contain sugar, sometimes in surprisingly large amounts. If you buy processed foods, be sure to read labels, and be aware of the many way in which sugar shows up in food products. Brown sugar, corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, glucose, high fructose corn syrup, honey, invert sugar, lactose, maltose, mannitol, molasses, rice syrup, sorbitol, sucrose, xylitol - these are just some of the words that tell you a product contains sugar.

Avoid artificial sweeteners, caffeine-containing beverages, and alcohol.
