This diet permits one to eat as much as one wants to eat. Because the foods are higher in fiber, hunger is satsifed earlier. There is a small learning curve as to which foods to eat and which to avoid, but once the individual learns this, they can just eat normally without having to measure, weigh, or calculate their food. The avoidance of animal proteins protects the kidneys - especially important in diabetics - and even though the diet is high carb (the four food groups are grains, beans, fruits and vegetables) it helps to bring the blood glucose levels down while enabling weight loss and weight normalization to occur.
