My Food Bag has decided to make healthy eating easier by launching its new Diabetes Plan.
Whether managing diabetes, working to prevent type 2 diabetes, or simply looking to eat better, customers can learn how to cook Diabetes-Friendly meals at home.
All the recipes in the plan have been chef-developed, supported by Diabetes New Zealand, and approved by the in-house nutrition team.
Customers can choose from nutritionist-approved recipes every week, designed to suit the whole family.
High-quality carbs and low-glycemic index carbs like bulgur wheat and quinoa feature along with veggie carbs to support blood sugar control. There is also a focus on whole foods and fibre, including vegetables (over two to three servings per plate), legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds.
The My Food Bag Diabetes Plan aims to help New Zealanders eat and live well. Customers may have been told they are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes or need to improve their diet to better control their diabetes.
Whatever the case, if they’re ready to eat better (without comprising on taste) but don’t know where to start, My Food Bag’s range of Diabetes-Friendly meals could be just what the doctor ordered.
For the first 12 weeks, customers can also opt in to receive expert-led nutrition and lifestyle content delivered to their inboxes, helping them build long-lasting habits for themselves and their families.
My Food Bag’s food and nutrition approach is also grounded in the latest evidence and supported by Diabetes New Zealand.
Recipes include balanced, delicious options that help you explore various cuisines, such as Warming Thai Chicken Curry, Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Balls, and Low-Carb Beef Fajita Bowl, with new recipes each week.
These Diabetes-Friendly meals are designed for anyone living with diabetes or at risk of type 2 diabetes (known as insulin resistance). They are also suitable for anyone who wants to eat and feel better, including the rest of the family.
People living with Type 1 diabetes or gestational diabetes will benefit from eating a healthy and balanced diet but will have individual dietary considerations. It’s always important to check in with your healthcare professional for tailored advice to ensure any changes to your diet are appropriate for your age, activity levels, preferences, medications, and any other health conditions. It’s also important to continue to take any prescribed medications.
