Ideally, type2 diabetes victims should create their meals with proteins food like meats, fish seafood, eggs.  Add carbs food like green vegetables an salads.   Do not eat any carbohydrate produced in a factory.  They are not suitable for your digestive system.

admin answers:

Yes, all carbs food does turn into sugar.  But there are carbs food that our body has been used to over many centuries.  These are good choices. As long as she doesn’t eat too much of them, they are fine. Complex carbs food like whole grain breads, whole grain crackers, veggies, and even sweet potatoes are fine from a diabetes point of view, but foods that come off a production line should never be considered genuine food.  For the sake of a healthy body, they should be avoided.

There are so many great food choices in so called green vegetables and salads.   Eating fake carbs food should not be necessary for anyone who loves good food.

If we eat the food our body likes we no longer need to worry about calories.  Our body will tell us when our stomach is full.

I’ve never heard about the complex carbs food and fruit combination. But I do know if you eat peanut butter with fruit it is better for your blood sugar. I was told it was the proteins food in the peanut butter. And that though peanut butter is excellent, any time you take proteins food with carbs food it’s better for your blood sugar.

I may know why you’re getting confused. Is it because the peanut butter contains carbs food? When I had gestational diabetes (which reacts in a similar way to type 2) I was told that I didn’t even have to count the carbs in PB, because the proteins food in it was so beneficial. Unless I wanted to eat a whole cup of it of course LOL …

Saboodana is prepared from Tapioca and is high in starch content. It is not good for type2 diabetes.  A small quantity, if consumed once in a while, is harmless. All carbohydrates foods and starches and get converted into sugar and hence it is bad for people who suffer with type2 diabetes.  Whether it is rice or wheat, small quantities only are allowed.

A 16-ounce bag of World Kitchens brand beef jerky is around $8.50 at Wal-Mart. Cut up into small pieces and weigh out 1-ounce portions for consumption control (like 1-ounce every other hour).

Http://www.worldkitchens.net/Products.htm

Beef Jerky is salty and that may well be the cause of the addiction.  Salt is very bad for you.  So is processed food, even when it is made of protein.  Try to wean yourself off it gradually.  It is not natural for the body and it contains chemicals.  No chemical is suited to be ingested by your body.  It’s a safe bet to say anything that that is packaged and preserved is not food fit for the human body.   It may work for our taste buds, but it plays havoc with our digestive system.

Try to aim for a natural protein diet.  Introduce regular meat and fish to your diet.  For a meal, serve a large piece of meat or fish with a couple of small serves of vegetables or a salad.  Eventually you will find a favorite among the many natural, unprocessed foods.  That’s the time to replace the beef jerky.

admin answers:

Deli meats are great… Especially chickens & turkeys
eggs
yellow cheese
Poultry… anyway you like it!
FISH! This is the best thing you can have.
Keep your carbs food to green vegetables and salads.  Avoid peas, carrots, corn, and potatoes.

I am a huge advocate of a protein diet.  It is the diet chosen by our ancestors . It works wonders. Good luck!! And by the way, its true that on the 4th day you won’t even care that you’re not eating carbs food.

admin answers:

I do not believe that the blood type diet works. There is no evidence for it.

But then I should mention I don’t believe in diets at all.  Not if  it involves cutting down on calories, portions or anything else.  The first things you need to do is cure your carbohydrate addiction.  Once you have done that everything becomes easy.  When you no longer have food cravings, you can be much more objective about it.

Forty years ago this kind of information was still common sense.  That’s because people understood their body and knew what made it work.  Today we listen to self-proclaimed ‘experts’  who are very likely to get the answer wrong.  These are the same people who are responsible for today’s obesity epidemic and for the type2 diabetes epidemic that looms around the corner.

So here are your answers:

A) Butter- Fat
B) Pasta- Carbohydrate
C) Yogurt- carbohydrate
D) Fish- Protein

For lasting weight loss and genuine good health the solution is a protein diet.

Questions about Carbohydrate addicts  and a protein diet!

admin answers:

Starving yourself is the last thing you want to do.  Your body will assume you are in a famine.  It will slow down your metabolism so it can conserve your fat.  When the famine is over, your body will make sure all the weight is recovered, plus a little extra for protection.  This is how obesity statistics continue to grow.   You cannot avoid that. – It’s nature.

Finding the right diet meal plans  that will get you to a body-fat level for your gender and age, is not that difficult.  You need just two things. 1.  The foods your body likes and  is able to process easily and quickly.  2. regular exercise to make your body burn off the glucose and stop it from storing fat cells you don’t need.

First of all you have to understand that the right diet meal plans that appear good to you, are not necessarily the food your body likes to process.  Our metabolism and digestive systems were developed on foods very different to those we call normal today.

Till around forty years ago, most people still stuck to the traditional protein diet ,with some added, natural carbohydrates.  Before refrigeration, not that long ago, people spent seasons virtually devoid of any carbohydrates foods.  They were slim and a lot healthier than people are today.  [trust me: - I know because I was there]

About forty years ago, due to a false scare campaign about cholesterol and diet, people switched from a traditional diet of proteins food, used for generations,  to a diet of  mostly carbohydrates foods.  The result is what we see today. Escalating obesity statistics and a growing problem with type2 diabetes.  To make matters worse, we have the highest ever rates of heart disease, colon and bowel cancer ever known.

So to your question: The quickest way to lose weight,  is to cooperate with your body and give it the food it likes and can process.   That EXCLUDES any food that comes in a plastic wrap, a package, a box or any other container that suggests it has been processed in a factory or food plant.  If it is not fresh, don’t eat it.

Eat unlimited proteins food like fish, meat, seafood, poultry and eggs.  Add some nuts [not too many] and some avocado, for the amino acids.  Add also greens like spinach, lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, and fresh herbs and spices.  Make sure the proteins food represents around 80% of your meals.

When people try to tell you proteins food is bad for you remind them that they are the building blocks of life.  They build and repair our skin, muscle, tissue, bones and vital organs.  This is something no carbs food can do.  Without plenty of proteins food our kids grow up sick, fat, and lethargic.

If people continue to tell you proteins food is bad and carbohydrates foods are necessary; remind them our ancestors survived through an ice age on virtually nothing but proteins food.  Had they been unhealthy -the severe conditions would have ensured they would not have survived and we would not be here today.

What does carbohydrates foods do?  All carbs food, whether it is a lettuce leaf, a slice of bread or a lollipop, to the body, it is all treated the same.  It is broken down into glucose.  If you are a fit person with some energy to spend, you body will replace whatever energy you spend with your fresh supply of glucose.  Your body cannot store glucose.

If you have no energy to spend your body will convert the glucose into fat and store it on your body.  The more carbohydrates foods you eat, and do not spend in energy, the fatter you get.   Not rocket science, but vital to know.

To really get the picture, use a motorcar analogy.  Think of the carbohydrates foods, which are turned into glucose, as the fuel that drives your body.   If you don’t get behind the wheel and drive the car, you won’t use any fuel.  In your car, the fuel will sit and stagnate.  In your body it will be stored on your hips, your thighs, around your vital organs and in your arteries.  One day it may kill you.

If you follow this advice, you will not only lose the weight quicker than any other method, you will keep the weight off for good.

For an even better result, you should do some EXCERCISE.   Cardio excercise is anything that will get you out of breath, your heart rate pumping and you sweating (running, swimming, cycling, etc). it will force your body to burn glucose and stop it from storing fat.  It will improve your overall fitness levels.

Strength training basically improves the muscles and tones your body, this comes from weight training, core training (sit ups/planks/etc), stretching (such as yoga) and dynamic training. This is necessary to keep your body strong and supple and will also help you burn fat and speed up your metabolism to burn even more fat.

If you follow this advice you WILL LOSE THE WEIGHT.  If you keep following the advice, you’ll keep the weight off for good.

admin answers:

First you need to match the desire to lose weight with the willingness to do what it takes to lose it.  If you are a carbohydrate addict, and I suspect you might be, you will first have to cure your addiction.  The good news about doing that is it will remove all those food cravings that make it so hard to diet.  As the food cravings disappears, so does the weight.  If you keep doing what you have learned, you will keep the weight off for good.

There are two ways to get the result you want.  The hard way: Read through the posts on this site and work out a way to use the information correctly.  Or the easy way: Click on this link and learn to use the Carbohydrate Addicts Manual.

admin answers:

To help you I first need to know whether or not you are a carbohydrate addict.  If the answer is yes, you will never lose weight for long until you first cure your addiction.  How to do that is what I teach in The Carbohydrate Addicts Manual.  You should know that if you are a carbohydrate addict, you share that fate with around sixty % of the population.

If on the other hand, you are one of the forty % who are not yet addicted to carbohydrates foods, and you want the fastest possible result, here is what you do.  Spend two weeks on a diet of unlimited proteins food.   No carbs food whatsoever.   Do not go hungry, just make sure you satisfy your hunger on proteins food only.

Do not attempt to count calories and ignore portion controls.  They won’t matter.  Also do not worry about fat in the meat or fish.  Drink plenty of water and for hot beverage, choose green tea.  Eat till you feel satisfied and eat again when you feel hungry.

If the first few days of doing this are very difficult you may still need The Carbohydrate Addicts Manual.  That will ensure you get the results you want.

If you look at the previous answers above, you will learn what is protein and what you can eat.

admin answers:

You should have a fair idea whether or not, you are addicted to carbs food.  If you crave a particular food, if you feel you cannot live without it.  If you feel depressed when thinking of doing without it – then yes: You are a carbohydrate addict.  Apart from urging you to read all my previous answers above, there is only one critical thing you need to know:

You will continue to grow bigger with each diet you attempt.  Diets are not natural to our body and dieting is not a normal thing to do.  Diets are a new invention and if you want to know what they have contributed to humankind over the past forty years, take a good look around.  Just about everybody is getting fat.

Forty years ago, just about everybody were still slim.  What changed?  Our diet changed!

admin answers:

If you don’t have much to lose get a good program of exercise.

- Exercise 6 to 7 days a week.

- And try to break your workout into two different sessions, this gives your metabolism a jolt.

- Drink 10 to 12 cups of water a day. And try to drink ice cold water, it helps burn the fat.

- Take enough vitamins, especially ones that promote weight loss (such as 1800 mg. Of Fish Oil, Vitamin B Complex, Co-enzyme Q-10, ect. Do your research).

- Drink green tea or take green tea pills ( it’s been shown to speed up your metabolism).

- For the good of your metabolism, eat within 1 hour of waking up and don’t eat 3 hours before you go to bed.

- Drink 12 oz. Of warm lemon water (use the juice of 1/2 a lemon) with a little sea salt every morning. This will detoxify your body and make your skin look amazing.

- Eat 5 to 6 small meals a day to keep your metabolism up.

- Try to get 6 to 8 hours of sleep. When your body is deprived of sleep your appetite increases by 15%.

Just remember, – you can do this. It’s not impossible. You just have to stick to it and the weight will just fall off.

If, after all this, you still want to follow a regime of diet meal plans to lose weight, read the above answers and follow the advice.

admin answers:

To your body, all carbs food is the same.  Whether it is a bowl of cereal, a spoon of sugar, a piece of fruit, or a slice of bread, once it gets to your digestive system it is all converted to glucose.  Glucose is a liquid form of sugar which is used by your body when you decide to take a brisk walk, or spend an hour in the gym.   If you don’t spend energy the glucose will be converted to fat.  Most carbs food eaten by the average person ends up as body fat.   If you need proof of that take a look around.  Everybody is getting fat.

If you cut out bread, pasta, cereal, sugar and concentrate on proteins food, low sugar, fruit and veg, you will lose weight.  But if as you say, you are a carbohydrate addict, you are up against two big problems. 1. You are going to find it very hard to stick to low carb food.  it a bit like asking a heavy smoker to stick to a packet a day.   2. As a carbohydrate addict, (if you are an addict) you will never lose weight for long until you cure your addiction.  When you do that you will lose the weight automatically.

admin answers:

let me make one thing very clear.  Carbohydrates do not give us energy.  They provide the fuel if and when we want to spend energy.  Proteins food can do that too.  It’s like adding fuel to your car.  If you don’t get behind the wheel and drive it, the fuel will go stale.  Because our body can’t store glucose, (that’s the fuel that drives us) it is forced to store it as fat cells.  When you eat carbs food and do not spend much energy, you end up with body fat.

Carbohydrates are the least essential food of all.  They were introduced to our diet late, in the twentieth century.  Demand was first driven by a scare campaign about cholesterol and diet. This was fuelled by a food manufacturing industry that wanted a solid footing.  To a diet and manufacturing industry, there was no money in a protein diet.

Our history proves we can manage very well without carbs food.  There have been long periods in human history, where we have done entirely without carbs food.  That includes the last ice age.  If you are a carbohydrate addict you’ll hate hearing this.  But it’s a fact.  We can get by without carbs food but we cannot exist for long without proteins food.

A low carb diet, that is to say, a high protein diet, was considered normal till forty years ago.  That’s when we had a cholesterol scare campaign and most people, when tested, proved to have high cholesterol.  The only cure was an ultra high cholesterol and diet solution.  This has often been referred to as the pyramid diet.  Thirty years later we learned that the reason for the high number of people with cholesterol problems was incorrect testing.

There never was a high cholesterol problem.  But it proved a boon to cereal, diet food and other processed carbs food manufacturers.  They have had a lucrative ride on that lie for more than 3 decades.  Through their efforts, sixty % of the population have become addicted to carbs food.  We have a raging obesity epidemic.  Type2 diabetes is an epidemic waiting to happen and incidences of heart disease, colon and bowel cancers have never been higher.

admin answers:

If you always feel hungry on a low carb food diet, it is because you are a carbohydrate addict.   It means you suffer cravings, binges, constant hunger pains and frequent pangs of depression.  These are symptoms suffered by all addicts including, drugs, alcohol and tobacco.  Unless the addiction is cured no amount of low carb food is going to satisfy you for long.  Once the addiction is cured, so are the symptoms.  That means you will not feel hungry and you will feel more than satisfied with an unlimited supply of proteins food .

What is protein?  It is meat, fish, seafood, poultry,nuts, cheese, and eggs.

admin answers:

As a carbohydrate  addict, you have a responsibility to cure your addiction.  Not only for your own sake.  You are a mother of 3 children.  Your lifestyle will become their lifestyle.  If you are a carbs food addict, so will your children be when they are old enough to eat what you eat.   You have an opportunity to cure your carbohydrate addiction.  When you are addiction free you will be able to guide your children on a lifestyle that will not only keep them slim and healthy, it will ensure they will not pass their carbohydrate addiction on to their own children. Your future grandchildren.   That is something you can live to be very proud of.

Curing your carbohydrate addiction is a lot easier than living with it and watching your children grow up and suffer with it.

admin answers:

A low carb food diet is very helpful,  but only when you have stopped being an addict.

No carbohydrate addict can remain on a diet for long.  The weight always returns.   Your best solution is to cure your carbohydrate addiction.  When you do that you will lose your weight problems for good.   You will also lose your cravings and binges and those constant hunger pains.  Low carb food is the food our ancestors ate every day. It was our traditional diet till 40 years ago.
