According to endocrinologist Dr. Rawdy Reales, choosing nutrient-rich, high-fiber carbohydrates may help improve fatty liver disease, reduce insulin resistance and lower the risk of prediabetes when included regularly as part of a balanced diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The specialist recommends incorporating one of these foods into daily meals at least five times a week rather than eliminating carbohydrates altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The five recommended carbohydrates are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sweet potatoes: Rich in fiber, vitamin A, potassium and inositol, sweet potatoes have a moderate glycemic index and may help support blood sugar control and hormonal health.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quinoa: This high-fiber pseudocereal has a low glycemic index and provides magnesium, iron, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids, nutrients associated with improved metabolic health.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chickpeas: High in plant-based protein and fiber, chickpeas help promote satiety and support more stable blood glucose levels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beans: A staple source of complex carbohydrates, beans contain fiber and resistant starch that nourish the gut microbiome while helping regulate blood sugar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lentils: Rich in protein, fiber and essential minerals, lentils are associated with improved insulin sensitivity and better digestive health.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Reales emphasizes that these foods should be part of an overall healthy eating pattern and lifestyle rather than viewed as a standalone treatment.
