Aim for color and variety, and remember that potatoes don\u2019t count as vegetables on the Healthy Eating Plate because of their negative impact on blood sugar.<\/p>\n
Whole and intact grains\u2014whole wheat, barley, wheat berries, quinoa, oats, brown rice, and foods made with them, such as whole wheat pasta\u2014have a milder effect on blood sugar and insulin than white bread, white rice, and other refined grains.<\/p>\n
Fish, poultry, beans, and nuts are all healthy, versatile protein sources\u2014they can be mixed into salads, and pair well with vegetables on a plate. Limit red meat, and avoid processed meats such as bacon and sausage.<\/p>\n
Choose healthy vegetable oils like olive, canola, soy, corn, sunflower, peanut, and others, and avoid partially hydrogenated oils, which contain unhealthy trans fats. Remember that low-fat does not mean \u201chealthy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Skip sugary drinks, limit milk and dairy products to one to two servings per day, and limit juice to a small glass per day.<\/p>\n5-a-day\u00a0<\/h3>\n
