DAY 1: 800 CALORIE DIABETES T2 REMISSION DIET USING REAL FOOD

The original research had a menu that did not rely on real food, only 200 calories of non starchy vegetables.  The rest was protein drinks.  I can only imagine how the patients felt after two months of that.

This 800 calorie diet uses real food.  Protein drinks are used as necessary to boost protein.
Use zero-calorie drinks, black coffee, unsweet tea as you will.

NOTE:  NO EXERCISE WITH THIS DIET.  THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH CALORIES.
DRINK A LOT OF WATER - YOU NEED IT TO FLUSH TOXINS RELEASED FROM FAT. AGAIN, WORK WITH YOUR DOCTOR TO REDUCE DIABETIC MEDICATIONS AS NEEDED.  THIS DIET IS TO BE DONE ONLY FOR 8 WEEKS.  IT IS AN INTERVENTION THAT COULD PUT DIABETES INTO REMISSION.


Here are my stats going in:

Weight 169.9  Fat Percent 39 %  FBS 156  Last A1C 7.5


BREAKFAST:  Half a Slim-Fast Shake - protein only in morning for diabetics

LUNCH: Mission Carb Balance Tortilla, 1/4 cup Marketside Chicken Salad, romaine, apple

DINNER:  1/2 Slim-fast Protein Drink, 1 cup Alessi Split Pea Soup, salad, 10-carb dessert (1/2 cup sugar-free Jello pudding)

Total calories: 774  Total fat 35 gm, Total Carbs 78 gm, Total Protein 46 gm, Fiber 25 gm
 Net Carbs: 53

You must find Mission Carb Balance 6 gm carbs tortillas to work with this diet...fiber is essential, even on just a few calories.  Other low carb tortillas do not have as much fiber, or as much protein and as few carbs.  These are found at Krogers, Walmart, and many other stores.  You will be using them every day for lunch as a wrap around protein.  They have 7 gm protein on their own, plus 11 gm fiber.

Marketside Chicken Salad is available at Walmart.  Alessi Split Pea Soup is found at grocers.

I was a little hungry in the morning, but not hungry after lunch and dinner.  Adequate protein prevents hunger.

I use Calorieking software for my daily totals.  Any good software for dieting will do.
