As part of the Diabetes Diet, there are 5 major foods that fuel your diabetes, and there are 5 major foods that help to control and reverse your diabetes.
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.
