Deadly Diabetes Deception: Cures vs Treatments
How You Can Reverse Diabetes Just by What You Eat Neal D. Barnard, MD
My approach is dramatically different -- and it works. My research team and I conducted a series of studies with hundreds of patients, and we discovered that it is possible to improve blood-sugar levels through diet alone. Big payoff: People can now control -- and even reverse -- their type 2 diabetes. While the diet won’t reverse type 1 (or juvenile) diabetes, it will reduce risk for diabetic complications and help to minimize use of insulin. WHERE IT STARTS If you have type 2 diabetes, your body has become resistant to insulin, the hormone that carries glucose (sugar) into your cells, where it is used for energy. The cause: Tiny droplets of fat have accumulated inside your muscle cells and are interfering with their ability to use insulin. Glucose can’t get into your cells properly, which means that it builds up in your blood instead. What if you could remove that accumulated fat from inside your cells? You would improve your body’s ability to use insulin, get your blood sugar under control -- and possibly even reverse your type 2 diabetes. The best way to do this is by changing the way you eat. With my three-step program, you can eat as much as you want of certain foods, because this approach focuses solely on what you eat, not how much... THE THREE-STEP PROGRAM 1. Avoid all animal products, including red meat, poultry, fish, dairy and eggs, as well as dishes and baked goods containing these ingredients. Animal protein is harmful to the kidneys. And the principal ingredient of dairy products, even low-fat or nonfat, is sugar in the form of lactose. 2. Minimize fats, and food made with fats, including cooking oils, salad dressings, mayonnaise, margarine and peanut butter, plus fried foods and naturally fatty foods, such as avocados and olives. 3. Consume lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. These foods are low on the glycemic index -- meaning that they act slowly on your blood sugar. Best choices: Whole-grain breads (wheat, pumpernickel, rye), other whole grains (barley, oats, bulgar, brown rice and corn), plus beans, lentils, sweet potatoes (which contain natural sugar but do not raise blood sugar rapidly), green vegetables, most fruits (except watermelon and pineapple, which are naturally sugary) and tofu. Nuts and seeds are also good in small amounts -- unless you need to lose weight. In that case, it’s best to avoid them. Also: Herbal or regular tea and coffee are fine. Skip the soda and fruit juice, though, as these drinks are high on the glycemic index. I recommend avoiding diet soda as well. Although the reasons are not clear, people who stop drinking diet soda often lower their blood glucose. I also advise that you take a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement and a daily vitamin D supplement of 1,000 international units. Bonus: If you follow these guidelines, you’ll get plenty of fiber, which has many health benefits including helping to control blood sugar. And don’t worry -- you’ll get enough protein from eating beans, leafy green vegetables, seeds and nuts. MAKING THE CHANGE If this all sounds like a very low-fat “vegan” diet, that’s because it is. To help yourself ease into this new program...
Helpful: There are plenty of healthy convenience foods on the market, like frozen cheese-free veggie pizza with a whole-wheat or rice crust, low-fat vegetarian chili and frozen vegan enchiladas.
Our cravings go away because of a simple biological fact -- we crave today what we had yesterday. Once you’ve gotten your diabetes under control, you can treat yourself to small amounts once in a while of, say, chocolate and other favorite foods. You may even find that you’re satisfied with more healthful substitutes, such as strawberries drizzled with chocolate syrup instead of a candy bar. Best of all, after a few months, you may be able to cut back or eliminate some of your medications. Note: Always discuss medication changes with your doctor first. GET MOVING I recommend exercise as something you add to a healthy diet, not as a substitute for eating better. Best: If you can manage a brisk walk for half an hour a day (or longer!), definitely do it. If you are overweight or have joint or heart problems, you may not be able to do much exercise when you start the diet. Before long, however, you’ll feel so much better, you’ll want to start moving. And once you find a form of exercise that’s appropriate for you -- and that you enjoy -- exercise becomes a lot more fun....and your diabetes becomes even less of a health concern.

Barnard, MD, www.nealbarnard.org, an adjunct associate professor of medicine at the George Washington School of Medicine and Health Sciences and president of the nonprofit Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. He is author of numerous books, including Dr. Neal Barnard’s Program for Reversing Diabetes (Rodale). His scientific articles have appeared in many prestigious medical journals, such as Diabetes Care and The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Diabetes affects different people in different ways, depending on their degree of diabetic complication, but, while different amounts of carbs may be eaten for this reason, the types of foods to eat and to avoid is the same for all. Below are lists of foods to avoid, and foods to eat. Below those are two lists of fruit and vegetables which give quantities that provide 10 grams or 5 grams of carbs. These lists are by no means exhaustive. They are here to help you to decide what and how much you can eat to eat to manage your condition. _____________________________________________________________________________________ The Following looks like a contradiction to the above, That's because it is. But either way works for Type 2 Diabeties. I want you to have all sides of the story not just a biased one. There are two schools of thought on this subject of eating, one is that people do not need animal products and the other is we do. How do we choose which one is for us? What I would tell you is how do you feel about animal products on a moral level. If it bothers you then don't eat them if it doesn't then dig in. In my opinion animal products are a natural part of our diet and history as a human race. The part that I wholly object to is the use of Growth Hormones and Antibiotics and Steroids used by our farming industries to maximize profits and thus endangering and harming us as humans. (By the way the food industry is simply trying to feed us all, this is not a conspiracy to intentionally do us harm it is simply the need to keep the population fed, science comes along after the fact to show us the long term side effects of these chemicals). Pure animal products, in my opinion, are good and healthy for us if we can find an organic source, not the supermarkets, find a local farmer.
The following two lists of commonly available fruit and vegetables lists the amount of a food that gives either 10g (fruit) or 5 g (vegetables). Use these tables to determine how much of each you can eat.

Throw out all animal products and oils and foods that contain them. Morning Smoothie for Health
Blend in a blender for several minutes, and enjoy! Why did we choose these ingredients? BANANAS - Bananas are easy to digest, rich in vitamin B6 and they are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium. Potassium helps to regulate blood pressure and may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. The serotonin and norepinephrine in bananas make them the feel good fruit; they may naturally help sufferers overcome depression. HEMP PROTEIN - Hemp is the most digestible form of complete and cholesterol-free protein, and is recognized by the World Health Organization as having a perfect 3:1 balance of Omega 6 to Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids. It contains live enzymes, contains no gluten, and is free of the enzyme inhibitor found in soy and other legumes and grains which prevent protein absorption and typically cause gas, bloating and other digestion problems. In addition, there are no known allergies to hemp. Hemp is the highest vegan source of Edestin, a simple protein that is responsible for the natural and acquired immune system, and is high in the natural antioxidants Vitamin E, Vitamin C and chlorophyll. GREENS POWDER - Greens powder, commonly touted as a "superfood", helps to increase energy levels and support the proper function of the immune system. Greens have also been shown to improve mental acuity, gently cleanse the gastrointestinal system, and restore a healthy pH balance to the human body. FLAX SEED OIL - Flax seeds contain 12% mucilage, which makes it a gentle, natural laxative. Flax seed contains high levels of plant estrogens (phytoestrogens), which reduce hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause and perimenopause. Flax seed oil acts as a buffer for excess stomach acids, soothes ulcers and irritable bowel disorders, lubricates and absorbs toxins, and prevents toxic build up in the bowel. Flax seeds have the richest source of lignans, which have anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-cancer properties. Flax oil also contains lecithin which emulsifies fat and cholesterol. Flax seed oil is said to improve digestion, help stabilize blood glucose levels, fight tumor formation and enhance cardiovascular health. Organic Unsulphered Blackstrap Molasses - Organic unsulphered blackstrap molasses are an excellent source of iron, calcium, copper and manganese, as well as potassium, and magnesium. Unsulphured means that it does it not contain sulpher which is used as a processing chemical. Whole Apple, Peel Included - The greatest benefits are two types of fiber which help reduce cholesterol, flavonoids which are proven to help prevent heart disease, and fructose, a simple sugar that is broken down very slowly, helping to keep blood sugar levels stable. It's long been known that apple peel contains high concentrations of special antioxidant compounds called phenols that may assist in the prevention of a number of chronic diseases. WATER - Water is probably the most often overlooked tool for a completely healthy body. It has been discovered that many illnesses can be alleviated or eliminated with proper hydration. Pure, clean water energizes, cleanses and sustains us. Drink the purest water available. Use your own filter - don't rely on tap water to be pure. Unfiltered tap water may contain chlorine, fluoride, agricultural run-off, herbicides, pesticides, drug residues and too many other poisons to list. Don't drink distilled water! |
