Diabetic (ADA) Diets: Prescribed to control the amount of calories by controlling the carbohydrate intake.

o High-fiber complex carbohydrates from vegetables and fruits are preferred to simple carbohydrates, sugars, and starchy foods such as
bread or pie.
Cardiac Diets: Used to control the dietary intake of foods that contribute to conditions affecting the cardiovascular system.
o They typically consist of low-cholesterol and low-sodium dietary items.
