The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether or not a traditional First Nations diet (high protein) and/or a dietary intervention based upon current Canadian dietary recommendations (high carbohydrate/high fiber) effects risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus and/or cardiovascular disease in a remote fly in First Nations community (Sandy Lake First Nation). This pilot has been developed in conjunction with Sandy Lake First Nation to answer the research question: Will a traditional diet or a diet based upon current Canadian dietary recommendations result in decreasing risk for type 2 diabetes in Sandy Lake?
