Plan Management Guide

Our products are not clinically validated to help manage diabetes specifically, however, they were formulated based on hundreds of clinical studies that support the ingredients and formulation of our products with respect to diabetes management. Our products deliver complex unprocessed carbohydrates and whole food fiber which helps reduce blood sugar spikes and decreases the insulin needed. Since some of our products contain more fruit - which is naturally high in sugar - if you are diabetic you might want to favor the chocolate-based bars, pancakes, oatmeal, and sprinkle as your go-to products. These contain less fruit per serving. 

I also want to let you know that we offer a free Sampler Trial Pack, which includes a serving of each of our 9 products. I'd be happy to send you this so that you can try the products and see if they will work with your blood sugar before purchasing.

We always recommend paying close attention to your blood glucose levels as well as working with your physician or dietician to decide if our products are a good fit for you.

I have diabetes/pre-diabetes; can I use this?

You can find all of the ingredients and nutritional information for each individual product by going to our shop page. Just select the product you are interested in and right below the product description you will see a button that says 'ingredients & nutrition.' A window will pop up that shows all the ingredient and nutrition information.

What type of ingredients do you use?

Our founder, practicing cardiologist Dr. Elizabeth Klodas, explains how you can get started with Step One Foods on our Get Started page. Dr. Klodas developed Step One Foods to be nutritionally impactful, convenient, and delicious. Simply use our products twice per day as a substitution for something you would normally eat. The products fit naturally as a substitute for breakfast and snack, but the program is designed to be flexible so substitute for whatever makes sense for you. It only takes 30 days to see results with Step One Foods. We conducted a clinical trial where 80% of participants who used Step One Foods twice a day for 30 days saw highly significant LDL (bad) cholesterol reductions, with some participants achieving 20, 30 even 40% reductions in LDL! You can learn more about our clinical trial results here.

To get started with Step One, we recommend a full 30 day supply (which would be 5 boxes). Our Starter Pack is a great option to try out several of our products.
