2 WAYS TO EAT OUT AND STAY ON YOUR DIET

There are not too many places that serve balanced protein and carb meals, but I have located two of them.

Arby's has a great chicken/fruit salad called Martha's Vineyard salad. They musta seen me coming! The numbers are: fat 8 gm, 25 carb gm and 25 protein gm, (roughly).

Also, Fazoli's has a wonderful Parmesan Chicken Salad, with numbers about 10gm fat, 30 gm protein, and 30gm carbs. Just throw away those breadsticks, they are one step closer to limb amputation! If only that were not a joke!

DIET FOR DIABETICS TO NORMALIZE BLOOD SUGAR

FOR WOMEN:
5'7" and under = 25gm fat 90 gm protein, 90 carb gram daily
5'7" and over = 25gm fat, 100gm protein, 100gm carb daily

FOR MEN:

5'7" and under 30gm fat, 100gm protein, 100gm carb daily
5'7" and over 30 gm fat, 125gm protein, 125gm carb daily

BE SURE TO ADD A PROTEIN BAR TO THESE TARGETS IF YOU EXERCISE 30 MINUTES.

ALSO, BE SURE TO TAKE YOUR OMEGA 3 SUPPLEMENTS IN ADDITION, 10GM FLAX OR FISH OIL OR COCONUT OIL.

Remember, mildly hungry, not starving. If you are starving, you are losing muscle. That means you are slowing your metabolism.

Viola! Hunger and tiredness disappear the 2nd day of this! YAY!!!!!

SUPPLEMENTS USEFUL TO DIABETICS

1. Take the Water Cure summarized at http://www.watercure2.org - it has normalized my blood sugar as long as I am eating my balanced protein and carb diet.

2. Alpha lipoic acid at each meal or snack - 300 mg for a total of 1500mg daily.

3. Fish oil and/or flax oil 4 to 6 grams daily.

4. Reishi mushroom - 500 mg at each meal or snack.

5. Good multi-vitamin and mineral complex.

6. Digestive enzymes at each meal or snack.

7. The usual supplements recommended for diabetes: gymnema sylvestre, fenugreek, cinnamon, vanadium, chromium, zinc and so on. I just use these occasionally. And ginger tea will drop blood sugar about 30 points in 30 minutes, and a walk for 30 minutes will drop it by 60 points or so. So get walking!

8. Alkaline water and lots of fruits and veggies. Whey protein also makes your body alkaline. I take about half my daily 100 gm protein in the form of whey protein drinks.

9. Benfotiamine - 600mg daily - to prevent cross linking of proteins and glucose, and also rebuilds the myelin sheath of nerve tissue. Helps with diabetic neuropathy.

Remember, it is always FOOD FIRST, then SUPPLEMENTS. The balanced protein and carb diet balances blood sugar all on it's own, and then the supplements come in and finish the job.
