Question

Joaquin is interested in changing his carbohydrate intake to decrease his risk of developing diabetes. Which change would you suggest he make?

1/ A high-protein, high-fat diet has been shown to have the best impact on reducing risk of developing kidney disease.

2/ Increasing consumption of high-fiber foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains (all of which contain carbohydrates) will help reduce his risk of diabetes.

3/ Many of the foods Joaquin enjoys, such as donuts, are low-glycemic index foods, so they are okay to continue to include in his diet.

4/ Reducing consumption of all sugars (naturally occurring, such as those found in fruit, and added sugars, such as those found in soda) will help reduce his risk.

Explanation / Answer

2 is the correct answer as these contain carbohydrates but in the right amount whereas others provide them in excess. A high-fat diet (donuts, which are baked food, animal meat also contain saturated fat) additionally will aggravate the problem as it increases calorie intake.
