Nutrition Guides for Diabetes That Won’t Leave You Feeling Restricted

Manage your blood sugar and learn to enjoy food again without guilt

Remove nutrition confusion

Make food choices easier

Succeed with sustainable changes

Traditional books and “healthy eating guides” love to tell you what foods to avoid if you have diabetes, what to eat and when to eat it, especially when it comes to carbohydrates and sugar.


They tend to leave you second guessing every one of your food choices and feeling like you “messed up” if you didn’t follow their rules exactly.

 

 

These guides always feel so easy to follow, right up until you “fall off the wagon” and have to start over. They make promises of “reversing your diabetes”, but are too restrictive to maintain long term. And then, you don’t see the results you were hoping for at the doctor’s office. 

 

All this “healthy eating” advice just feels  like… a diet?!

Learn to Manage your Diabetes with Gentle Nutrition

Our diabetes nutrition guide was designed under the framework of gentle nutrition because we believe you can manage your blood sugar without cutting out all the foods you enjoy or following a restrictive diet. They will help you navigate day to day situations with confidence, while removing stress around making food choices.

What is Gentle Nutrition?

Gentle nutrition is part of a larger, non-diet eating framework called intuitive eating. It focuses on how to honor your physical health with food so you can balance your diet with foods that both taste good AND feel good in your body. The intuitive eating process is intended to help you heal your relationship with food. Intuitive eating teaches you how to listen to your body’s cues for hunger, fullness, and satisfaction and reject the dieting mentality that gets in the way of you being able to do so.

The diabetes nutrition guide is provided for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute providing medical advice or professional services. The information provided should not be used for diagnosing or treating a health problem or disease, and those seeking personal medical advice should consult with a licensed physician. Always seek the advice of your doctor or other qualified health provider regarding a medical condition.

Will this help me lose weight?
Our guides are designed to support your journey in honoring your physical health with food so you can balance your diet with foods that both taste good AND feel good in your body. Intuitive eating teaches you how to listen to your body’s cues for hunger, fullness, and satisfaction and reject the dieting mentality that gets in the way of you being able to do so. While practicing gentle nutrition and intuitive eating, your body may settle into it’s biologically appropriate/set point range or may not change at all.   
Can I use this for other parts of intuitive eating?
Gentle nutrition is the last step of the intuitive eating process, and for good reason. Eating for physical health may draw you back into black and white thinking about food. What foods are “healthy” or “unhealthy”, “good” or “bad”. Establishing a foundation of food neutrality and body trust has to come first. Otherwise you run the risk of turning intuitive eating into another diet. Talk to your dietitian to see if our guides would be right for you.
