Pork Roast (1 Thin Slice (Approx 4 1/2 Inches X 2 1/2 Inches X 1/8 Inches))

Choose a leaner cut of pork roast and trim visible fat; keep the portion moderate and avoid sweet glazes, honey, brown sugar, or sugary barbecue sauces.

Pair the roast with non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, asparagus, spinach, or a leafy salad instead of large servings of potatoes or bread.

If you want a starch, use a small portion of lentils, chickpeas, beans, or quinoa rather than mashed potatoes, stuffing, or white rice.

Add fiber and acidity to the meal with a vinaigrette-based salad, vinegar-dressed vegetables, or a squeeze of lemon, while avoiding sweet dressings.

Eat vegetables and protein first, then any carbohydrate portion last; slow down and avoid adding sugary drinks or dessert to the same meal.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
