What is your favorite comfort food? What do you eat at family gatherings or celebrations? Our cultures, geographic region, and communities impact our food preferences. Finding low-carb resources that recognize our diverse cultural backgrounds can be challenging. Several healthcare providers in the MCT2D collaborative have noted the need for culturally sensitive low-carb diet resources for patients with type 2 diabetes. When asked what kind of resources they need, our participating practice have noted: "Lower carb nutrition education that addresses and incorporates ethnicities with high rice intake.", "Cultural diet options & meal plans.", and "Lifestyle behaviors are tied to cultural influences/values."
MCT2D dietitian Rina Hisamatsu, RDN, MPH, and the MCT2D coordinating center have developed a series of culturally-informed low-carb meal plans available to download through the Resource Library. They include:
Hispanic 7-Day Low Carb Meal Plan
South Asian (Non Vegetarian) 7-Day Low Carb Meal Plan
South Asian (Vegetarian) 7-Day Low Carb Meal Plan
Vegetarian (Lacto-Ovo) 7-Day Low Carb Meal Plan
