Assignment:
Your mom is pre-diabetic and her doctor wants her to make some changes to her diet and lifestyle. List and explain your top three food/lifestyle suggestions and how you would recommend that she incorporate them in her day. Be specific in your food/lifestyle suggestions by offering substitutions to her current plan.
Current Plan: Your mother's day consists of skipping breakfast and just drinking 2 cups of coffee. She eats a bagel or sandwich with deli meat for lunch. At around 3oclock she eats a handful of chocolate covered almonds (because she heard almonds are healthy) and for dinner, she usually just heats up a frozen dinner or eats spaghetti with jarred sauce, Her job is sedentary and when she gets home she usually either watches television after she is done with housework.
