The Diabetes Diet to Reverse Type 2 Diabetes: The 5 "Dead" Foods and 5 Super Foods
The 5 "Dead" Foods
Try to reduce and eventually avoid eating the refined, processed, and starchy "dead" foods such as white bread, wheat bread (made with enriched flour), white rice, white potatoes, corn, cereal, clear vegetable oils (e.g. corn, soybean, sunflower, safflower) and foods that contain high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oil, and refined sugar. In addition, try to avoid non-prescription drugs, prescription drugs, and recreational drugs, especially alcohol, tobacco, cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.
Read Chapter 6 of the Death to Diabetes book for a complete list of the "dead" foods that you need to avoid so that you can save your hard-earned money to buy the foods that will help to repair your body. Once your body is repaired, you will save even more money because your body won't require as much fuel (food) to produce the necessary energy; and, you won't be spending money on OTC drugs, prescription drugs, doctor appointments, and chemical-laden "dead" foods.
Read Chapter 6 for a complete list of "super" foods, and Chapter 7 for the components of the Super Meal Model and examples of super meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Also, read Chapter 17 for food tips and recipe ideas. Gradually increase your consumption of super meals to facilitate the body's cleansing and detoxification processes.
Use the Favorite Foods Transformation Table to identify healthier versions of your favorite foods or comfort foods and to help in your transitioning from eating poorly to eating more healthy -- without feeling deprived of your favorite foods. Because if you feel deprived, you will revert to eating poorly.

The Super Diabetes Diet to Reverse Type 2 Diabetes
The Super Diabetes Diet is truly THE Diabetes Diet, because it is specifically designed to help control, beat, and reverse Type 2 diabetes -- by providing a more sustained level of energy and key nutrients that diabetics (and non-diabetics) are missing when they consume the more traditional grain-based, overly-processed, nutrient-poor or starchy meal.
Some of the nutrients that are key to the effectiveness of THE Diabetes Diet include Omega-3 EFAs, carotenoids, chlorophyll, potassium, chromium, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, fiber, and water. In addition, by avoiding the grain-based breakfast, diabetics and non-diabetics will not experience the mid-morning “crash” or craving for processed food/beverages. Over time, this type of "super" meal will support blood glucose stabilization, cell repair and the regulation of the body's production and utilization of insulin.

- More frequent meals (4 to 6 times/day)
- Smaller meals (400-500 calories)
