Your Diabetes Diet Plan

Type 2 Diabetes currently affects over 23.5 million people in the United States. Are you one of them?

One of the scariest statements you can hear from your doctor is "You have Diabetes". I remember when that same statement was said to my mother. It changed our lives forever. That day began a long journey into researching every bit of information on Diabetes I could get my hands on. Luckily for my mother, this information saved her life.

How did she (and maybe you) get Diabetes in the first place?

Type 1 Diabetes (often referred to as Juvenile Onset Diabetes) is an autoimmune disease that results in the permanent destruction of insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. This means the body has attacked its own cells and can now, no longer produce its own insulin. For this reason, Type 1 Diabetics are dependent on insulin shots.

Type 2 Diabetes is quite different (and often referred to as Adult Onset Diabetes). Type 2 Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a condition in which normal amounts of insulin are inadequate to produce a normal insulin response from your body's cells. How does your insulin become a bit lazy per se? It's actually not laziness at all. It is complete overwhelm. In my mother's case, she had overloaded her body with so many carbohydrates in her diet that her own natural insulin couldn't keep up any more. This is the exact reason most people develop Type 2 Diabetes; they have overloaded their diets with too much sugar, refined carbohydrates and processed foods and their insulin just gives up!

Fortunately for my mother (and most Type 2 Diabetics) there is a natural solution: Change your diet and change your lifestyle.

Where to begin:

1. Only include the following foods in your diet for a consistent 30 days:

Free Range Poultry, Wild Fish, Organic Eggs, Raw Nuts (except for Peanuts)
All vegetables (especially green ones)
Strawberries or Blueberries
Raw Organic Olive Oil and Raw Organic Coconut Oil
Only Stevia can be used as a sweetener
Organic, unrefined apple cider vinegar

2. Exclude from your diet any food that is not listed above. This includes:

Sugar, Artificial Sweeteners (Equal, Splenda and Sweet and Low) and any drinks that may contain them.
Any fruit that is not a strawberry or blueberry.
All grains including all breads, pastas, rice, corn, and oats.
All processed foods. If it comes in a box, don't eat it.

3. Move your body every single day. If you are currently not involved in a regular exercise routine, begin by walking for 20-30 minutes every day. You can start slow or at your own pace. Just be sure to include regular exercise every day.

The above diet and exercise suggestions are the exact methods my mother used to decrease her Diabetes medication, gain control of her blood sugar and lose 40 pounds of unwanted fat.

Remember to consult with your doctor before beginning any new diet and exercise plan. The above steps are extremely powerful and will cause a drastic decrease in your blood sugar, possibly reducing the amount of medication and insulin you need. Your doctor is the only one who can help you make this decision.
