A randomized trial showed that adults with prediabetes experienced no negative changes in blood sugar control or insulin function after eating beef daily for a month. The findings matched results from a poultry-based diet.
Researchers conducted the crossover trial with 24 adults who had overweight or obesity and prediabetes. Participants followed two 28-day diets, one with 6 to 7 ounces of beef each day and one with poultry, separated by a washout period. Meals included items such as fajitas, burgers, and stir fry prepared with the assigned meat.
