This article explains the use of the plato del bien comer (healthy eating plate) as a basic strategy for intervention in the diets of Mexican adults, including seniors, with diabetes. The healthy eating plate has the advantage of clearly representing the contents of a balanced meal, which might be not clear in other diagrams such as the food pyramid. This article provides an example of the healthy eating plate from a manual published by the National Institute of Nutrition in Mexico for people with diabetes. The manual respects the particularity of Mexican food by incorporating the tastes and varieties of various regional foods into its menus.
