Macro partitioning
Dietary modifications focusing on high fiber (≥25-35g/day), low saturated/trans fat (≤10% energy), and controlled sugar intake (≤50g/day) reduce diabetes risk and improve cardiovascular risk factors.
Eat more vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Limit saturated fats (like butter) and sugars. Aim for 25-35 grams of fiber daily. This helps manage weight and lowers diabetes and heart disease risk.
