I am shaking my head right now.
Red meat is Ok , but lean meat is best.
Reduce or low carb.
Increase veg intake so it takes the place on your plate of carbs.
Wild rice is better than white rice.
Berries are OK, most fruits are better than crisp and snacks, but watch out for the big B's as they are good for hypo's but don't eat too many(they are my weakness !)
Fresh food is better than pre packed.
Eat good food , fresh , and walk.
Good luck.
With all due respect, I am shaking my head at your comment. All meat is good, fattier cuts are preferable when in context of a diet specifically based on lowering carbohydrates. Lower carb veg is better than those which are high in (esp)starchy carbs. All veg has carbs but wiser choices can be made as to which you can load up your plate with. In my opinion rice of any description should be excluded from a low carb diet with thepossible exception of a treat for someone who has recovered a measure of insulin sensitivity.
As to fats which you do not mention specifically I know, healthy fats have to be included to offset the fuel from carbs lost and these are natural fats from fruits such as coconut oil, olive oil and avocado, or animal fats such as butter, lard, cheese as well as the fats from foul.
