Diabetic Diet Can Control
Blood Sugar ***

Here's a success story where a diabetic diet completely controlled high blood sugar levels ***.  A friend of mine is diabetic and needed to take regular insulin shots.

With his doctor's approval, he decided to try a high protein, low carbohydrate diabetic diet. Within only 3 months, he was completely off of insulin!

Exactly what was this remarkable diabetic diet that he followed?  Well, it was a modified version of the Atkins or South Beach diets. He ate protein with each meal, completely avoided simple carbohydrates (sugar, refined flour products, sodas, refined rice and cereals) and ate very little fruit.

The diabetic diet he followed included blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and apples along with lots of vegetables (especially salads and raw vegetables).  He said it was very easy to follow the diet because after the first few days, he no longer craved excess food.

His diabetic diet included eggs (other options are any protein food, see lunch for examples) for breakfast (poached or boiled is best) with a piece of apple or a few berries - no bread, toast or cereal.  He also took 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed in a glass of water.

Lunch on his diabetic diet included protein foods such as sautéed salmon (wild caught is best), chicken, turkey, beef, pork or cottage cheese with a green salad (salad dressing was olive oil and lemon juice with seasonings added).

The diabetic diet dinner included a protein food (see lunch choices) plus a salad and two green, yellow or red vegetables.  Again, a piece of apple or a few berries were allowed. Here are a few examples of vegetables for this diet - asparagus, artichoke, fennel, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, avocados, green beans, broccoli, cabbage, kale, collards, parsley, cilantro and cauliflower.

He also took a daily fiber supplement (1 teaspoon psillium in a large glass of water an hour or two after dinner).  On this diabetes diet, his blood sugar was completely controlled, he needed no insulin and lost 30 pounds.  But best of all, he felt fantastic!

*** If you want to try a diabetes diet like this, consult your physician, your medication may require adjustment and you could suffer from symptoms of low blood sugar.
