[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2399600, member: 365308"] As others have said it really depends on what you want from your diet and also what your diagnosis is. If you've been diagnosed can you get help from a dietician to suggest a useful eating pattern? If you haven't then you might be well advised to follow an elimination diet protocol in which you strip back your diet, note symptoms then gradually re introduce potential offenders. If you've already done all of this and think you know what works then ignore that last bit. If you really do need a low protein and low fat diet with no dairy then the obvious pattern is veganism. This is something that can help type 2 diabetics but I'd normally hesitate to recommend plant based precisely because it is low in protein and fat (the 2 macronutrients that don't raise insulin levels much or at all!) plus does need supplementation. It is high carb and like any eating pattern if you buy junk food high in sugar, other processed carbs and oils, you won't help your diabetes or weight management. Sorry to say that you will have to be cautious about fruit too if you are type 2 given the high sugar content of the more tropical kinds. The watch out is that plants contain lectins which can trigger gut problems as has been alluded too. Plants have a health halo but not every gut can tolerate them so keep an eye on new foods bearing in mind that new symptoms won't always occur straight after consumption. [/QUOTE]
