The diet your dietitian suggested might be fine for someone who does not have problems with blood sugar but if a person is diabetic or insulin resistant, then that food I listed and that he/she suggested will cause high blood sugar.
Vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers and tomatoes (tomatoes in moderation) are good. Other vegetables you could eat would be: zucchini squash, eggplant (aubergine), mushrooms, and bell peppers (green, red). Leafy greens like all the different varieties of lettuce, herb greens like parsley, cilantro, dill are fine.
Whole milk is better for you than skim milk and has fewer carbs. You do need some healthy fat in your diet.
Fruit, all fruit, has a lot of natural sugar and raises blood sugar a lot. All the nutrients in fruit are also found in the variety of colorful vegetables listed above. The only difference is that fruit has lots of sugar.
What you need to be aware of is the carbohydrate count of the food. Also, it would help if you read the link to the website in my signature for more information about blood sugar. The bottom line is: how does the food you eat affect your blood sugar. To know this, you need to test right before you eat and about two hours after you eat.
