Half the plate is nonstarchy vegetables, with the other half split between protein and carbohydrates, plus small amounts of healthy fats and a calorie-free drink option. Includes examples of foods in each group and notes how the approach can support blood sugar management, weight goals, and overall healthy eating, with medical guidance recommended for people on specific diets.
