What people are saying about this resource:

Patients often ask why we recommend low carb diets and they do not understand what carbs do in our bodies. This handout is very helpful and easy for patients to understand. It is simple to read and also provides a lot of useful info for patients to see what happens to their blood sugar when they eat carbs. It also provides examples of specific foods, which has been very useful.
The graphs are easy to interpret and understable without a lot of scientific training. The chart with the "Eat this/Not that '' foods I think was helpful.  The sample meal plans are nice as a starting point for people.  Putting the benefits of a low carb lifestyle was nice.  I printed the sheet and will use it in the office.

It also provides a visual guide to evaluating the carb content of one’s meal.
