Introduction

Firstits important to understand that you are not alone; Type 2 Diabetes

has become an epidemic in this country. It s reported that there are currently24 million Americans that have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes andanother 57 million Americans that have a condition referred to as pre-

diabetesor insulin resistance.

This silent disease has become the 7th leading cause of death and is theleading cause of kidney failure, amputation, and blindness in America.

Were you aware that people with diabetes are at a higher risk to die from a

stroke or heart disease than people with healthy, balanced blood-glucose

metabolism?

WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIABETES

Diabetes is a challenging health condition that many of us may ignore or taketoo lightly because the day-to-day symptoms of high blood sugar are mild in

nature. Many people are not familiar with the symptoms and may not even

recognize the subtle warning signs.

Also, few of us realize the simple yet crucial importance of a more balancedlifestyle with proper food, exercise, and dietary supplements. It can becrucial in helping the body to naturally control Type 2 Diabetes. At its core,Type 2 Diabetes is, in a large part, a disease of lifestyle.

HOW THE GlucALite

LIFESTYLE & MEAL PLAN HELPS

The GlucALiteDiet will give you the tools you need to transform your

health and your life. You will see immediate and long-term benefits thatcan last a lifetime. Over the course of the GlucALite

Diet, you will learn

more than just the right foods to eat. You will learn exactly what you need

to do to live your best li fe now, including tips on foods, exercise, and health

conditions as well as avoiding the complications that can arise when Type 2

Diabetes has been left unchecked.

We want to congratulate you on taking a big step in healing your body. You

are committing to make positive changes that allow you to take charge ofyour health and to live a longer, happier life. Lets get started!

SOWHAT IS DIABETES?

The bottom line - diabetes is about blood sugar. However, a medical expertsconclusion and explanation of diabetes can be overwhelming at first. There

are so many strings tied to the medical assessment of diabetes that it canbe very overwhelming for most folks. The best thing to do if diagnosed withType 2 Diabetes is to STOP... LISTENand THINK.

Introduction

Stop your mind from racing in all directions. Listen to what your medicalprofessional has to say about diabetes. And think through the changes thatyou will make right away that will be the most beneficial for you.

Diabetes is the result or the condition that develops when the body doesnot use sugar from food properly. When we eat carbohydrates whetherfrom sugars, starches, dairy and other foods they are broken down throughdigestion into a simple sugar called glucose. After eating, glucose passes

through the body in the blood stream and it is from there that glucose is

supposed to go into the cells. Glucose is the main source of energy for thecells of the human body.

The body uses insulin to driveglucose from the blood stream into the cellsfor it to be used as fuel. Consider this hormone as the gatekeeper to thecells. Normally, Insulin is produced by special cells in the pancreas called

beta cells.

In healthy people, eating food signals the pancreas to produce and secretethe right amount of insulin to facilitate the sugar getting into the cells. If thisprocess fails, is overworked, or does not work properly, then eventually

diabetes develops. In people with diabetes, the pancreas produces litt leor no insulin or the cells of the body do not respond to the insulin that is

produced. And because of that, the glucose builds up to dangerously high

levels, which starves the blood cells because it cannot get through. Then,

the glucose overflows into the urine, eventually to some degree, passing outof the body. The blood cells of the body lose their main source of fuel even

though the body contains large amounts of glucose.

THEDIFFERENCEBETWEEN THE TWO TYPES OF DIABETESType 1

Diabetes

Usually develops in children and young adults

Pancreas makes little or no insulin because either the insulin

producing beta cells are not functional or have been destroyed

Type 1 Diabetics must take insulin shots

Less common than type 2, and accounts for only 5 to 10 percent ofcases of diabetes

Type 2 Diabetes

Usually occurs in adults

In Type 2 Diabetes, the pancreas makes insulin but the cells of thebody do not respond to it properly and the cells actually becomeresistant to the insulin.

Over time this causes the body to require insulin replacement in

increasingly elevated quantities

Introduction

FAT STORAGE

A study in Diabetes Care showed that although obesity is a big factor in

predicting insulin resistance, the biggest factor is stored fat in the belly.

Belly fat surrounds organs necessary for regulating blood and makes itdifficult for them to function properly, such as blocking the livers abilityto control insulin. Experts say that losing belly fat can prevent 90 percentof people from developing pre-diabetes and can actually reverse Type 2

Diabetes.

More than 72 million U.S. adults, or 26.7 percent, are obese, up 1

percentage point in two years, the U.S. government reports. And tocounter potential obesity, it is critical to work off more calories than youconsume each day, or else the remaining calories are converted intostored fat.

Although Type 2 Diabetes occurs most often in adults over 30 years ofage, it is becoming an epidemic for children all over the world as well.

Along with obesity, the main culprit for Type 2 Diabetes is a high

sugar intakelifestyle that also includes eating things like refined white

flour, processed and fatty foods, as well as any food that is man-made.With the worlds population at 6.8 billion, some World HealthOrganization analysts are predicting that over 500 million people will

be diabetic by2015. Eliminating these potentially harmful foods from your life will getyou on the right track to managing your Type 2 Diabetes.

Chapter 1Avoid This Sweetener

First things first: Youve got to takecontrol of what you put in your body.

What we mean - if you want toexperience optimal health, you muststop eating refined sugars, refinedcarbohydrates, and other simple

carbohydrates. According to manymedical professionals, the mainreason so many diabetics need insulinis because they continue to consumehigh Glycemic foods and beverages.Research at Harvard Medical Schooland Brigham and Womens Hospital inBoston showed a correlation betweenwomen who drank one sugary drinkeach day and their risk of developingadult onset diabetes by 200%!

You must eliminate any food or

drink with high fructose corn syrupfrom your menu. You must beginto consume low Glycemic foodsand beverages if you want to getyour elevated glucose levels backin balance. When you finish readingthis diet, please go tohttp://glucalite.com/glucalite-glycemic-chart/ andlook at the Non Beneficial foods andtry to eliminate them from your diet.

High fructose corn syrup is pure sugar.And as you know, sugar is ultimately adiabetics downfall. Before

we go too far in this GlucALite Diet,it is crucial that you understand andare aware of the dangers of havingType 2 Diabetes while consumingsugars and the sweetener highfructose corn syrup.

High fructose corn syrup is a man-made refined syrup that is derivedfrom corn but resembles nothing likecorn once it has been processed. Itis very cheap and is put in a lot offoods. You can learn to avoid eatingfoods with high-fructose simply byreading the labels on your food. Highfructose corn syrup is empty caloriesand it creates a very unhealthy spikein blood sugar levels.

Remember, the body can become

addicted to sugar. On top of that,many studies have shown thatwithdrawals from sugar can bequite severe. Your brains serotoninlevels drop when you cut out sugarcompletely. Be sure to ease awayfrom sugar and high fructose cornsyrup so you dont end up cyclingback to it in large quantities.

You will learn much more about howspiking blood sugar creates insulinresistance over time throughout theGlucALite Diet. Lets continue!

Chapter 2You Are What You Eat

You are what you eat and assimilate or digest.

Start your day off right - enjoy a nourishing breakfast instead of empty junk

food.

Right away, it is important to address the subject of supporting healthy

glucose levels with the food you eat. What you eat has a profound

impact on your glucose levels, not to mention your energy and moodlevels. So, how you start your day is significant.

Starting the day with a low Glycemic breakfast means absolutely no

refined sugars or carbohydrates at all. Best choices for breakfast proteins

include eggs, non-nitrite/nitrate-free ham**, Greek yogurt, lowfat cottage

cheese, ground turkey breast and protein powder (blend with water and

some low Glycemic fruit or non fat or low fat milk).

Low Glycemic Fruits include:

Strawberries

Blueberries

Apples

Grapefruit

Cherries

Peaches

Cranberries

Raspberries

Pears

Plums

Blackberries

Also you can include in your breakfast, low-fat or non-fat organic yogurt

and if you must, use a sweetener, try one of the stevia products such as

Truvia.

Problems with the standard American breakfast:

It is high in refined carbs that promote diabesity (diabetes and obesity).

It is low in fiber.

It is high in hydrogenated oils. It contains higher density calories that affect the pancreas and promotes insulin

resistance over time.

It can be high in saturated animal fats that promote weight gain and heart

disease.

It can contain carcinogenic chemicals like sodium nitrite and nitrate.

The goal is to eliminate white bread, white rice, donuts, pastries, and bagels (unless

they are whole grain and sweetened with stevia or are plain).As a matter of fact, any

grains you get from the store or when you go to a restaurant should be 100% whole

grain from now on.

Also, as we mentioned earlier, please avoid anything with high fructose corn syrup, andthat includes most commercial brands of syrup.

POSITIVE CHANGESYOU CAN MAKE

Protein shakes can be made at home to taste great! Make them with water, or organic

low-fat or nonfat milk (alternativelyAlta Dena Dairy milk or minimum Certified Non-

BGH hormone treated cows milk which is also known as rBGH, BST and rBST). If you

prefer to mix your protein powder such as organic brown rice protein, soy or whey

protein powder with fruit, make sure you use an emulsifier-type blender that includes

the fiber of the fruit in your smoothie. You can even add a scoop or 2 of superfood

to your morning smoothie. There are many great superfoods on the market such as

superfood from HerbDoc.com, Alive! Superfood Energizer, or Jon Barrons PrivateReserve Superfood powder are all among the best.

Superfood is generally better combined with just vegetable juice (including the fiber)

or whole fruits that are emulsified in a Vitamix or the HealthMaster Juicer Emulsifier

endorsed by Montel Williams (he used fresh juice with pulp/fiber included to help

overcome life-threatening sickness).

Up the fiber - if you must have pancakes , use only whole multi-grain,

buckwheat, spelt, or brown rice flower pancake mix, add 2 eggs to the

batter and a couple of scoops of brown rice, goat milk, whey or egg

protein powder to the batter as well. This lowers the overall Glycemic

load of the pancakes.

As for the syrup, you may use a small amount of agave syrup, as it has a lower

Glycemic index than maple syrup. Try to pass on the butter, -- but if you must--a

small slice of Organic butter is better as it contains an acceptable ratio of Omega 6

to Omega 3 fatty acids.

Sprouted whole grain bread - use it if you want toast, as

a breakfast sandwich or for French toast. Yes, we said

French toast--if you must--have it occasionally. We

recommend you use sprouted whole grain bread and

add an extra egg to the batter, to up the protein. Again,

a small amount of agave syrup and organic butter are

ok. Just dont go overboard.

Chapter2

10

BREAKSFAST ON THE GO >>>

Toast whole grain sprouted bread with at least one egg (soft boiled, poached

or scrambled) with it, and some of your preferred vegetables as well for

fiber and enzymes. If you want oatmeal, use whole steel cut oats (no instant

varieties). After the oatmeal is cooked, add a scoop or two of protein powder(vanilla flavored is a favorite) then top it with a little stevia, toss in a few

berries and add organic low fat or non-fat milk. Low fat goat s milk mixed

50/50 with water, almond milk, and soy milk are also ok.

WHAT TO DRINK

Acceptable beverages include herbal tea, oolong tea, Gynostemma and

bittermelon teas (very bitter but can be beneficial in balancing glucose

metabolism), fresh squeezed grapefruit juice including the pulp, 1 cup of

coffee with organic milk if desired, and stevia for sweetener. No store bought

juice unless it is fresh squeezed with the pulp (fiber). Water should be your

new beverage of choice. You can create wonderful refreshing lemonade andlimeade by squeezing a lemon or lime wedge into a glass of water--and if

you must have it sweet--add a few drops of liquid stevia or stevia powder totaste (stevia will not spike glucose).

CINNAMON

Want sweetnesswithout sugar - sprinkle some cinnamon on your pancakes,

oatmeal, smoothies or French toast.

Its a win-win. This delicious spice contains components that are beneficial

in assisting the balancing of glucose levels, reducing insulin resistance and

goes great with breakfast food.


13/63

Chapter

Studies have shown that cinnamon can assist the body with the increase of

glucose intake into the cells and increases the effectiveness of insulin. These

studies demonstrate that cinnamon can enhance the insulin receptivity of

cells and maintaining healthy triglyceride levels. The most beneficial type of

Cinnamon is known as Cinnamomum cassia.

Its hard to believe that the common kitchen spice cinnamon is such a powerful

glucose enhancer, but it is absolutely true. Ayurvedic medicine has used

cinnamon for centuries to alleviate fever and soreness. Dr. Richard Anderson at

the Human Nutrition Research Center (USDA) found that cinnamon has a key

substance, Methylhydroxy Chalcone Polymer (MHCP) that helps with the healthy

balance of glucose intake in the cells.

In fact, one major study at the HNRC showed that cinnamon enhanced cellular

glucose intake and the reduction of insulin resistance. Dr. Anderson says that

MHCP in cinnamon has demonstrated nutritional support for the body to provide

qualities similar to those of insulin. It helps the body to chemically modify the

insulin receptors of cells so they can better transport glucose. Cinnamon has been shown in some clinical studies to assist the body in the

increase of glucose intake of the bodys cells, increase the effectiveness

of insulin in the body, and increase the bodys antibacterial, anti-viral, and

antifungal response. Try to add cinnamon to at least one meal a day. The results

will surprise you!

QUICK TIP: Keep in mind when you shop for food that bacon and ham often contain

the chemical additive sodium nitrate, which some researchers feel promotes sickness in

humans. When absorbed into your body it can be converted into a highly carcinogenic class

of chemical compounds called nitrosamines that are actually so toxic that they are used toinduce sickness in laboratory rats for research.

Even worse, when nitrosamines circulate in the body, they tend to damage organs, particularly the

pancreas which is responsible for producing insulin in the body. Instead try turkey bacon, ground free

range chicken and turkey, turkey sausages, and chicken sausages.

Chapter 3Diabetes andYour Health

Type 2 Diabetes can wreak havoc on your body. With many people walking

around with Type 2 Diabetes and not even knowing it, a lot of the problemsthey experience become severe due to the long existing underlying disease.

Some of the major health complications from type 2 diabetes are:

1. Heart disease

2. Kidney disease3. Alzheimers

4. Neuropathy

5. Obesity

6. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

7. Periodontal disease

Diabetes can create a perfect storm for atherosclerosis, which is where

the artery walls narrow and become hard with buildups of cholesterol.

These narrowed arteries slow down blood flow, coupled with high blood

sugar when the blood is sticky and overly thick, this results in severely

reduced circulation.

With the kidneys, diabetes damages the blood vessels in the part of the

kidneys called the nephrons, which act as the blood filtration system.

Type 2 Diabetics also have trouble with excessive urination, which can

lead to necessary vitamins and minerals not getting re-circulated or

filtered properly by the kidneys. They are eventually urinated out and not

absorbed which can lead to major vitamin and mineral deficiencies.


15/63

Chapter

Diabetes also has been linked to Alzheimers. A strong link was found withabnormal insulin levels damaging cognitive brain functionality. Also, when insulin

levels are out of balance, the production of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine

is severely inhibited, which can also lead to Alzheimers disease.

Neuropathy can develop from diabetes as well. Neuropathy is the damage toyour nerves including damage to the function of the nerves. Reduced circulationwill cause inadequate delivery of oxygen to your nerve tissue. Couple that with

glycation (which is cell-aging) and the free-radical damage and you can have

significant long-term damage to nerves and limbs. Your feet and hands can lose

sensation and eventually this could lead to potential amputation.

Obesity is often a cause and often a result of Type 2 Diabetes. Its a vicious cycle.

Insulin is rejected by the cells due to the insulin resistance, which leads to a rise

in blood glucose. This will then lead your pancreas to produce more insulin, which

then in turn leads to both elevated insulin and glucose levels.

Additionally, Type 2 Diabetics have to worry about nonalcoholic fatty liver disease as

well. With one in four Americans troubled by this disease, it is often mainly caused byinsulin and obesity. The numbers for Type 2 Diabetics are even more staggering. Nearly

50% are affected, as well as 75% of these people are morbidly obese.

This serious yet silent disease goes through three phases:

1. Steatosis which is where the liver has a high concentration of enzymes and

fatty deposits

2. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, which is where the entire liver is full

of inflammation

3. Cirrhosis is where the liver becomes scarred and it develops fibrosis and

eventually loss of function.The major factors in whether or not your liver progresses through these stages are

whether or not you have Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome or Syndrome X.

Folks with diabetes are also twice as likely to develop periodontal disease, which is

the inflammation of the gums, also known as gum disease. As elevated blood sugar

levels break down the gums blood vessels, the ability for the gums to remove

wastes and other bacteria is severely reduced. The gums break down and the

bacteria produces acids that eventually eat away the enamel of the teeth.

In order to stay on top of your blood sugar levels, it is important to keep track of

the Glycemic index of the foods you eat. It is also important to be able to calculate

and understand the Glycemic load of each food as well.

Wikipedia defines Glycemic index as the measure of the effects of carbohydrates on

blood sugar levels. Wikipedia defines Glycemic load as a ranking system forcarbohydrate content in food portions based on their Glycemic index and portion size.

The Glycemic index ranks foods from 1 to 100+, with foods below 55 ranking as low,

56-69 as medium, and above 70 as high. The Glycemic load calculation ranks low as

10 or less, medium as 11-19, and 20 or greater is considered high.

Glycemic load is calculated by multiplying the Glycemic index by the amount of

carbohydrates and dividing it by 100. We have added a simplified listof foods in

the Appendix section and you can find more atwww.glucalite.com/glucalite-

glycemic-chart/.

Chapter 4Choose Wisely!

Facts are important. We want to remind you of several that can really help

you.

Many endocrinologists (doctors who tend to specialize in diabetes) believe

that Type 2 Diabetes is not really a disease in the standard sense. They say it

is a metabolic disease that is the outcome of a lifestyle that includes excess

consumption of foods high in refined carbohydrates and a lack of beneficial

exercise.

There is no germ, bacteria, fungus, pathogen, or virus, known to cause Type

2 Diabetes (though there is some research that shows it can be genetic). It is

the outcome of making specific exercise and nutrition choices that are notbeneficial for your health. Guess what? That is the good news! If you can

cause an effect like Type 2 Diabetes by making poor exercise and nutrition

choices, then you can correct it to a great degree and possibly reverse this

effect, by making better-informed choices in nutrition and exercise.

You must make wise and beneficial choices when eating out and when at

the grocery store. In the last chapter, we mentioned the importance of eating

whole grains whether as toast, pancakes, French toast, or bagels. Themessage is only to consume or order whole grain foods whenever possible.

Eating out and going to the grocery store can be a real challenge when

dealing with Type 2 Diabetes. Medical professionals believe that many

foods that you order when at a restaurant and in grocery stores can not

only promote and worsen diabetes but also can actually cause the

condition of Type 2 Diabetes to develop when consumed in excess.


17/63

Chapter4

Some of the most popular foods that are ready and available are very high in added

sugars like high fructose corn syrup (like we already said, stay away from them), refined

carbohydrates, and processed grains. Many low fat, low sugar foods that are aimed

at diabetics contain ingredients that elevate blood sugar levels and worsen the Type 2

Diabetes condition.CURCUMIN

Did you know that over 1 billion people eat another specific spice every day

that is also clinically proven to balance glucose metabolism and reduce insulin

resistance? It may very well be on your spice rack right now. This spice is

Curcumin.

Curcumin is the main ingredient in curry. As a matter of

fact, Curcumin is what gives curry its bright yellow

colorand sweet aroma.

More on Curcumin for you:

Did you know that oxidation, or whatsome health practitioners call internal

biological rust, has been associated

with complications and diabetes?

When excess glucose resides in the

blood stream, it causes harm to the tiny

capillaries that feed the eyes, kidneys, and

heart. Curcumin helps inhibit this oxidative

stress.

How does Curcumin work for you?

Curcumin helps protect your body from radicals that cause chemical reactions

thought to be responsible for cellular harm and mutation. It also helps cleanse

your body of metabolic waste that can be the outcome resulting from poorglucose metabolism.

Curcumin helps increase the bodys levels of prostacyclin, your bodys natural

zapper of abnormal platelet clusters, which are linked to blood clots that can lead

to heart disease, stroke, or both.

Throughout each chapter we will tell you a little more about different vitamins,

minerals, and foods that can be mixed into your regular diet to help reduce insulin

resistance and stabilize your blood sugar.

We will also tell you about foods to stay away from, including the most commonly

eaten food in America, which contains a diabetes-causing chemical that you mustavoid if you really want to regain control of your health.

Chapter5

Without reading the label, there is no way to know that it will not contain at least

some white flower mixed in (even if they call it whole grain). Most people are not

aware of the potentially dangerous connection between white bread and alloxan.

SAY WHAT?

The FDA is told by the food industry that there are many more people who eat

white bread and white flour than there are individuals who have Type 2 Diabetes.

This is true, but it does not change the white flour alloxan connection to Type 2

Diabetes.

Current medical theory suggests that for alloxan to harm beta cells in an

individuals pancreas, that the individual must have a hereditary predisposition,

or genetic link, coupled with some defect in tissue regeneration. Very similar tothe connection between heart disease and high LDL foods, a predisposition just

makes it worse. If youvebeen eating white bread and flour all your life, there is

hope. Lets just put it this way, Stop Eating It Now!

Laboratory experiments have demonstrated that animals that have had theirpancreas beta cells destroyed by alloxan are able to regenerate new pancreasbeta cells after only a few months of ingesting an herb that grows in India. The

beta cells of the pancreas produce insulin. Diabetics requiring insulin treatmenthave decreased their insulin after therapy with this herb in India as well.

What is this excellent herb from India that has been used since the sixth century

B.C. and is regarded in Ayurvedic Medicine as the most powerful agent for blood

sugar control?

We will let you know in the next chapter!


20/63

Chapter 6The Truth Shall Set You Free

Remember that you must first become aware of the truth, then act onit, and see how well it works for you.

To paraphrase one of the smartest men who ever lived, Albert Einsteinsaid insanity is continuing to do the same thing over and over againexpecting different results. If you keep on doing what you did tocreate your current state of health, you will keep on getting what you

got.

So please start taking an action a day based on the scientifically proveninformation that we are sharing with you. By the way, we did not inventthis information. There are dozens of medical doctors who have testedthis information on tens of thousands of individuals with Type 2Diabetes (many of them have written books on the subject) and itworks. We are trying to give you this information in a short, easy toread, and easy to follow format so you can take action on it.

If you recall, we told you that you must start reading food labels soyou can avoid foods that are not ideal such as high fructose cornsyrup (which can actually make the condition much worse) when you

wantto balance glucose metabolism. This highly refined sugar is sosuper- refined when processed from corn syrup, that it hardlyresembles or retains any of the nutrients from corn.

It is really just super-concentrated, refined liquid sugar and emptyuseless calories. The problem is that it is the main sweetener insodas/soft drinks and breakfast cereals.

So please eliminate all sodas, breakfast cereals, drinks, sauces (pastasauces, ketchups, mustards) and foods with high fructose corn syrupin them from your diet now. Read the label and only eat products thatdo not include this super-concentrated liquid sugar.


21/63

Chapter6

You should also avoid foods that contain sucrose, which is just another name for tablesugar that will spike your glucose reading. You dont want this because any food thatspikes your blood sugar will cause a requirement for more insulin.

We also told you to stay away from refined or bleached-white flour. This means

you have to read the labels on breads, flours, pastries, and breakfast cereals(whole grain granolas are best with a little stevia added if you want it sweet). Notonly is the white flour laden with alloxan, which is a chemical, used to induce Type2 Diabetes in lab animals, but white flour has a very high Glycemic index.

This means that it spikes blood sugar levels and makes it hard to balance or controlthis elevated glucose. As a consequence of spiking glucose levels, the insulinsensitivity of the bodys cells is decreased, increasing problems for the pancreas(the organ responsible for producing insulin in the body), creating a negativebiochemical reaction known as insulin resistance.

Multiple studies performed by endocrinologists and medical researchers validatethat insulin resistance directly contributes to the development and exacerbation of

Type 2 diabetes.More sweeteners that often make it into products labeled All Natural or Naturalare: evaporated cane juice and evaporated cane juice crystals, brown sugar, rawsugar, and turbinado sugar. These are minimally processed sugars with somenutrients, includingB vitamins and minerals like magnesium, but they are still veryhigh on the Glycemic index and will spike glucose levels just like regular sugar.They should all be avoided.

GO AU NATURALE!

The easiest way to avoid most high Glycemic foods is to eat food as close to itsnatural state as possible. Try to only eat foods like low Glycemic fruits, vegetables,chicken, turkey, fish, lamb, and lean meats and eliminate packaged food or

manmade snacks that were not created in nature.In the last chapter, we told you that laboratory experiments have demonstratedthat animals that have had their pancreas beta cells destroyed by alloxan (achemical bi-product of bleaching white flour) are able to regenerate new pancreasbeta cells after only a few months of ingesting an herb that grows in India.

That herb is Gymnema Sylvestre. In Ayurvedic medicine, Gymnema Sylvestreis also considered the most powerful botanical agent for helping the body inimproving glucose control.

In human clinical studies, this herb has shown a significant ability to help the bodyreduce blood sugar and its even shown to help reduce sugar cravings as well. Animalstudies indicate that Gymnema Sylvestre can help the body double the amount of

insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas, increase insulin pathways, and decreaseinsulin resistance, which is crucial for a healthy life. In one human clinical study, thebodies of a number of subjects were actually able to maintain stable blood sugar levelswith the assistance of an extract of just Gymnema Sylvestre.

And guess what? A little more knowledge each day leads to a healthy and longlife. Did you know that a well-known Royal Family eats a certain mushroom dailyto avoid elevated glucose levels? Also, did you know that certain artificial sweeteners could actually be making you feel worse? You will be quite surprisedwhen you hear about exactly what these are.

Remember, sometimes it is what you dont do or just stop doingthat can helpyou the most in life.

If you stop poisoning your body, you will feel better!

Chapter 7Will and Intention!Its Your Choice

In the last chapter, we reminded you to please start reading product

labels. You must find out what is good for you and what is bad for you ifyou are to take responsibility for what you put in your body for fuel and if

you really want to improve your overall health.

Do you know what the most popular snack food in America is?

Did you know that this food is one of the worst possible choices as asnack for someone battling Type 2 Diabetes?

What is a carbohydrate-based snack that has been deep-fried in

unhealthy hydrogenated oil or fats?

Now that we have discussed the effects of consuming high Glycemic

foods have on your health - would you agree that combining a high

Glycemic index food with dangerous dietary fats is probably not a good

idea? What are we talking about? Potato chips, corn chips, cheese puffs,

and almost all refined, processed carbohydrate-based snack foods.

These foods offer the increased risk of body fat storage from the

unhealthy dietary fats combined with the free radicals, carcinogens

(cancer causing chemicals), and other toxic chemicals created during

the deep frying of the carbohydrates (bleached white flour products,

potatoes and corn chips) at high temperatures, plus the high Glycemic

carbohydrates, all combined into one unhealthy combination.

STOP!

Stop eating all refined, processed carbohydrate-based snacks like

potato chips, corn chips, and crackers. If you must cheat occasionally,


23/63

21

Chapter7

eat only organic 100% whole grain BAKED chips and crackers and make sure you

read the label ingredients to avoid white, refined, enriched and bleached flour.

Bottom line? You must start reading the labels on anything that is man made before

you decide whether or not to put any food in your body. Want a good piece ofinformation? You dont always need to read the whole ingredients label, just read

the first 5 or 6 ingredients. If any of the harmful chemicals weve told you about are

there, stop reading, put down the package, walk away from it and move on.

When looking at any soda, (and you know you should really make water your drink

of choice) if you see high fructose corn syrup after water listed in the ingredients,

then you know not to purchase it. Put it down and move on again. You will feel

confident and stronger-willed each time you do this and eventually you will no

longer be tempted to waste money or your health on junk foods and sugary sodas.

So buyers beware - watch out for meal replacement powders and drinks. You

are better off making your own protein smoothie or snacking on turkey jerky,

beef jerky, or even salmon jerky if you can find it, and a couple of celery sticksand some slices of cucumber.

So what is the name of that mushroom that is eaten daily by a well-known Royal

Family to help avoid elevated glucose levels? The Agaricus Blazei mushroom!

Agaricus Blazei is sometimes called a medicinal mushroom that has a very high

nutritional value, containing various amino acids, as well as essential vitamins B

and D, magnesium, potassium and fiber.

Traditionally known as Gods Mushroom,Agaricus contains many

polysaccharide protein complexes (beta glucans) that havebeen

researched for their immune activity and medicinal properties the

world over.

Did you know that there are two major artificial

sweeteners that are promoted and advertised as

healthy for diabetics that can actually cause

Metabolic Syndrome better known as

Syndrome X?

In the next information-packed

chapter, we will tell you about

artificial sweeteners, flavor

enhancers and what are known

as excitotoxins to avoid, good

substitutes, and one of the best

exercises that you can do anywhere and

at any time!

TIP: There are actually specific foods aimed at diabetics that advertise that they will slim

your body and are intended as a meal replacement and yet are sweetened with high fructose

corn syrup and sucrose. Avoid them. Read the label, decide to pass, put them down, and

move on.


24/63

Chapter 8You Think You Know,but You Have No Idea

In this chapter we are going to tell you the truth. We told you previously tobe skeptical about claims on the labels of food and drink packaging,

claiming to be healthy or specifically for diabetics. A class of manmade

food additives known as excitotoxins can be very dangerous for diabetics.

One of the better-known excitotoxins is MSG (monosodium glutamate),

which is used in many Chinese restaurants, Asian cuisine, and as a flavor

enhancer in America and Europe. Another well-known excitotoxin for a

lot of individuals is aspartame, which is better known by its commercialname, NutraSweet.

These two excitotoxins are used in many diabetic foods and other foods

that you have purchased at your grocery store. According to Dr. Russell

Baylock, author of the book Excitotoxins, and one of the worldsforemost experts on these chemicals, the major problem for diabetics

when consuming MSG and aspartame is that these chemicals interfere

with healthy and normal functioning of the endocrine system including

one of the most important parts, the pancreas.

ITSNOT REAL, ITSFAKE!

Chefs worldwide know that MSG enhances the flavor of foods and

increases appetite. In one experiment, laboratory rats that were fed

MSG showed major distortions of hypothalamus function to such a

point that they couldnt control their appetite. As a result, they also

exhibited extremely high obesity rates.

Since the medical community now acknowledges that obesity and

diabetes very often go hand in hand, and most Type 2 Diabetics

constantly struggle with excess weight gain, belly fat, and possibly

obesity on some level, it is imperative that you avoid excitotoxins

such as aspartameand MSG and eliminate them from your diet.

If you insist on repeatedly consuming these excitotoxins, your

entire endocrine system will probably continue to be completely out

of balance and you will not be able to control your appetite.


25/63

23

Chapter8

As a matter of fact, if you are diabetic and you struggle with controlling

your appetite and have uncontrollable cravings for foods, these

excitotoxins may be part of the reason.

Aspartame and MSG in the food you consume could make it impossible

for you toexperience normal appetite satisfaction. Food manufacturershave invented clandestine labeling practices that allow them to hide MSG

without using it on the label.

Please remember the best sweeteners are the natural ones, and stevia is

by far the best. Stevia is calorie free and does not affect blood sugarlevels. Stevia is much sweeter than table sugar so you only need to dust a

little powdered stevia on your food or put a few drops of liquid stevia in

your drinks to sweeten to taste.

With all the health hazards that stem from using artificial sweeteners,

consumer demand is driving creation of several new innovative products,

such as the stevia sweetener, Truvia. There is a huge need in this country

to stop using sugar and chemically laden artificial sweeteners and to start

using an all-natural sweetener like stevia that can actually be beneficial to

glucose metabolism.

Artificial sweeteners like Splenda and Equal actually do more damage to

our health than if we consumed sugar itself. Because these sweeteners

can over stimulate the appetite, they could actually contribute to

diabetes and obesity. Many people think that artificial sweeteners like

Splenda and Equal are safe to use by diabetics. The reality is that these

artificial sweeteners could actually worsen


26/63

24

Chapter8

existing health problems, harming the health of some diabetics.

Artificial sweeteners are not made from real sugar, but they can fool your body

into thinking it is consuming sugar. This can trigger a condition known as

Metabolic Syndrome or Syndrome X (which is the politically correct term for

patients that are obese, diabetic, and face increased risk of heart disease).Asa result, the body sends out a surge of insulin to deal with this fakesugar,

causing a potentially dangerous dip in your glucose and making you crave

even more sugar.

For diabetics who struggle to maintain normal glucose levels, this causes

potentially dangerous dips and swings in your glucose that could even be

lethal. That is why the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation prefers and

recommends stevia for use by both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetics.

NATURESCANDY!

In our opinion the best stevia powder products include inulin fiber, also known

as FOS (Fructo-Oligo Saccharides derived from Jerusalem artichokes) whichis a prebiotic (beneficial bacteria to your digestive tract) and can actuallyhelpimprove your bodys intestinal microbial balance. The soluble inulin fiber rapidlyconverts into high-octane fuels (such as short-chain fatty acids) using the bacteriain your stomach and intestines. This additional fuel source can actually help you tofight off diseases and better absorb vitamins and minerals in your diet. Anotherway to think about FOS, it is food for the goodbugs in your digestive tract thathelps you to digest and absorb your food.

In 2004, a university study actually demonstrated that stevia and inulin fiber

were significantly better at balancing a persons glucose metabolism than

competing glucose-lowering products.

A good brand organic stevia, with organic stevia extract and organic inulin, is oneof the best to use and comes prepackaged in 100 easy-to-use packets per box.

Remember, some research studies have shown that chemical sugar replacements

like Splenda can fool your body into reacting the same way it responds to sugar;

a phenomenon known as Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X), which is a group ofmetabolic risk factors that can increase your chances of suffering from diabetes,

heart disease, and stroke.

As consumers become more aware of Metabolic Syndrome, more and more

people are enjoying the sweetener stevia. Stevia is calorie free, has a great

natural taste, can be used in beverages, cereals, baked goods, yogurt,

smoothies, and a variety of foods. It is a low Glycemic, all-natural sweetener

and is the ideal replacement of sugar and artificial sweeteners for people whowant to lose weight, control glucose metabolism, and enjoy better health.

COULD I HAVE METABOLIC SYNDROME?

Some Symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome or Syndrome X to watch for

Elevated glucose levels equal or greater than 120 mg/DL.

Insulin resistance-this means your body needs more and more insulin toabsorb sugar into your cells.s


27/63

25

Excess belly/waistline fat-a 40-inch or greater waistline for men or a 35-inch or

greater waistline for women.

High triglycerides equal or greater to 150 mg/dl, low HDL cholesterol (high

density lipoprotein) less than 40 for men and under 50 for women.

High blood pressure equal or greater than 130/85mm Hg

Fat that is stored around your vital organs is called visceral fat. And its deadly.

Unlike the fat stored in other areas of the body, which can convert into energy,

belly fat continuously creates inflammatory compounds that are very harmful toyour body. To measure your waist, place a tape measure around the narrowest

part of your waist, just above your hipbone. Make sure the tape is level, but dontpull it very tight. Exhale and properly measure your waist.

We are not big fans, but occasional ingestion of Xylitol may be acceptable. This

sweetener is ideal for baking because it looks and tastes like sugar. It is also

believed to be good for your teeth and actually reduces cavity and plaque

formation, according to dental claims that are approved by the FDA. If you mustchew gum, then make sure it is sweetened with Xylitol and no other sweeteners.

Although Xylitol is not calorie free, it has an extremely low Glycemic index and

is metabolized much more slowly than regular sugar. Be warned, however, that

when consumed in large amounts, the side effect ofgastro-intestinal distress

is not uncommon.

LOSE A LITTLE, GAIN A LOT!

Why is it so hard to get rid of excess belly fat? You

can do sit ups, crunches, and leg lifts until the roosters

crow, eat like a bird, and still carry extra fat around your

waist as long as you promote insulin resistance in yourbody by eating the wrong foods.

When you have this condition, your pancreas secretes

higher than normal levels of insulin to keep your

glucose levels from raging completely out of control.

What is wrong with that? The problem is that high

insulin levels are clearly linked to excess belly fat.

This is because excess insulin in the body drives fatty

compounds known as triglycerides into the fat cells of

your abdomen, growing your belly and causing you tocarry excess fat in that area.

Even worse, insulin causes receptors in your brain cellsto trigger cravings that can destroy the benefits of any

diet. For your information, consuming just one dietsoda a day will increase your chances of developing

Syndrome X by 33%.

TIP: Measuring your waist may give you a better indication of

your risk for many diseases than a scale or even your body mass

index (BMI). Scientists and doctors have known for years that

belly fat is a health risk, but recent studies are backing up the

theory with hard facts.

Weight loss is crucial to controlling and reversing the course of Type 2 Diabetes.

If you are overweight, trimming down is the single strongest predictor of a

healthydrop in the key glucose tests, HGB A1c. A1C is the test that reveals your

average glucose level over the past three months. Every pound you lose is a step

towards significantly better health and taking control of your life. In fact, the HGBA1c test was also a better predictor of risk for stroke, heart disease, and death

from diabetes, researchers reported in the New England Journal of Medicine.

They found that people who had A1c levels at 6 percent or greater were at

higher risk for developing diabetes. A1chas significant advantages over

fasting glucose,Dr. Elizabeth Selvin of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore,who led the study, said in a statement.

The fact is that more than 90% of diabetics carry too much weight and body fat.

This is why doctors and health professionals recommend monitoring your totalpercentage of body fat. The recommended maximum body fat should not be more

than 24% for women and no more than 17% body fat for men. When you lose a

tinyamount of body fat, you will gain much more health and energy for life.

COMPLEXITY IS THE KEY!

We have told you the truth about sweets and we will be sharing some very

interesting facts about complex carbohydrates with you. You already know

to cut soft drinks out of your diet. Here is a health secret that many societies

known for longevity share: they eat complex carbohydrates in their natural state

and they believe that the longer food takes to chew, the better it is for you.

Almost all processed food and beverages are packed with sugar and salt and

can create elevated glucose levels, which you want to avoid. Try to eat complex

carbs such as whole grains, low Glycemic fruits and vegetables, legumes, and


29/63

27

Chapter8

high quality proteins because they are slower to digest and do not cause glucose

levels to spike. (Ideally, eat fruit by itself and protein with vegetables for the majority

of your meals).

MOVE IT TO LOSE IT!Regular daily movement and exercise improves the ability of your cells to acceptinsulin, which enables them to burn glucose more efficiently.

Easy exercise almost does it all. Exercise is great for you and you already know that.

Maybe you even know that exercise can help lower glucose and triglycerides, and

can actually improve insulin resistance, making your cells more sensitive. Exercise

alone is good. But combining the exercise with the effects of better nutrition can

lead to spectacular results in controlling Type 2 Diabetes and losing weight.

If you dont exercise already, do not try to exercise for 30 minutes a day. Start

with 5 minutes of good physical activity daily. Build up to 10 minutes, then 15,

and eventually whether you believe this or not, you will want to exercise for 20 or

30 minutes a day. Starting with a simple walk around the block (walking is one ofthe best exercises for you), hiking, bicycling, dancing, gardening, house cleaning,

yoga, tai chi, swimming, light weightlifting, tennis, golf, ping pong, or any physical

activity that moves your body, can benefit your health greatly.

When you take a 20-minute walk outside, you get an extra healthy shot of natural

insulin, which will help your normal glucose levels. The natural vitamin D-3 thatyour body converts from sunlight can help lower insulin resistance and reduce

blood pressure. So remember, not only is walking or engaging in physical activities

outdoors good for reducing insulin resistance, your body actually benefits from

the natural vitamin D3 that it converts from sunlight.

TIP: Try to make sure that you engage in your outdoor physical activities before 10 oclock in

the morning or after 2pm in the afternoon - to avoid exposing your skin to peak UV radiation.

Some people enjoy sprinkling a date that has been cut into very small pieces on

their hot breakfast cereal and that is ok occasionally as well. To add further variety,

you may wish to use flax seeds, sliced almonds, walnuts or even pumpkin seedson your breakfast cereal as these add a wonderful nutty flavor. Hey - Don t forget

the cinnamon!

AN APPLE A DAY

And believe it or not, you can slice up your favorite apple and add slices to your whole

grain hot breakfast cereal as well. Apple pectin and oat bran have been proven in

clinical studies to reduce cholesterol and triglycerides. Heres an amazing fact about

organic, green Granny Smith apples: People who eat organic, green Granny Smith

apples for snacks at least once a day typically experience lower fasting glucose on the

following day.

By consuming apples regularly you can help regulate glucose and reduce appetite

and increase cleansing of the liver, gall bladder, and colon. Nutritionists believe

this is because of the beneficial enzymes, apple pectin, and fiber.Please remember, you want to start acquiring organic produce whenever possible,

organic dairy whenever possible, and organic whole grain products as well. You

willneed to become a selective consumer.

Do not use instant chocolate or strawberry powders to add to your milk as they

are almost all sugar and cause glucose spikes. Just because a product claims

to be high in calcium, does not mean it is not loaded with sugar. Just because a

salad dressing says olive oil on the front label does not mean that it doesnt have

high fructose corn syrup or harmful dietary fats included as well.

We cannot emphasize this enough: You must read the labels of all packaged food that

you want to put in your body! Remember when we mentioned in the last chapter about

the clandestine practices that the food manufacturers were using to hide MSG?

Some of those names that they hide MSG under are as follows:

1. Gelatin

2. Monopotassium glutamate

3. Glutamate

4. Glutamic acid

5. Vegetable Protein Extract

6. Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (HVP)

7. Autolyzed Plant Protein

8. Sodium Caseinate

9. Senomyx

10. Textured protein

Dont let yourself be fooled. A healthy consumer is an educated consumer. Be on

the lookout for these toxins disguised in the ingredients. You will be glad you did!

Chapter 10The Best of the Best

Heres a List of 12 of the Best Foods forType 2 Diabetics to Eat:

1. Fresh Fruit

Fresh fruit that includes papaya, all types of berries, and apples

especially green Granny Smith variety.Remember, canned fruits are better than nothing. Whole fruit is much

better than canned, organic is best because you avoid pesticides,

herbicides, and GMOs (genetically modified organisms that may cause

excess weight and fat gain).

2. Raw Nuts

Fresh nuts, including walnuts, almonds, cashews, flax seeds, sunflower

seeds, and pumpkin seeds (fresh natural nuts are ok, but organic is

better). In fact, adding cashew seed extract to ones diet may help lower

diabetes risk, according to findings published in Molecular Nutrition and

Food Research. This is because compounds in cashew seeds have beenfound to improve the bodys response to insulin.

During a recent study, a team of investigators examined human cells,

whichcontribute to blood sugar stabilization, that were exposed to

different extracts taken from the leaves, bark, seeds and apples of cashewtrees. After exposing the human cells to each extract type, the researchers

studied which cells had the most improved insulin reaction.

The results of the trial showed that only the cells introduced to cashew

seed extract had improved glucose control. In fact, the extract increasedthe activity level of muscle cells needed for the body to properly absorb

the glucose. Pierre S. Haddad, lead author of the study, stated that

these findings authenticate the traditional use of cashew tree productsin diabetes and points to some of its natural components that can serve

to create new oral therapies.

3. Sweet Potato

Japanese sweet potatoes and purple sweet potatoes (fresh and natural are ok, butorganic is better).

4. Whole & Wild Rice

Choose organic wild rice and organic whole grain brown rice.

5. Non-Starchy Veggies

Vegetables that include broccoli, sprouts, spinach, onions, garlic, tomatoes, celery,

bitter melon, okra, kale, beet greens, cauliflower, endives, romaine lettuce, parsley,

cilantro, daikon, radishes, asparagus, garlic, cabbage, avocado, snow peas, green

beans, cucumber, fresh mint, and organic salad mixes.

Whole vegetables are much better than canned, but organic is best because you

avoid pesticides, herbicides, and GMOs (genetically modified organisms that may

cause excess weight and fat gain). A small amount of carrots are ok because they

are high Glycemic index but moderate in Glycemic load due to natural fiber and

enzymes and their beta carotene vitamin A can be very beneficial to the body.

6. High Omega-3 Fish

Salmon and other fish that is high in omega 3 fatty acids. (Canned is better than

nothing. Canadian farm raised is ok, but unfortunately some farm raised salmon has

added color which must now be identified on the label. PCBs, antibiotics, and GMOs

from the fish food are also in farm raised salmon. Wild caught is best, frozen is fine).

7. Lean Meats

Meats that include ground buffalo, lean lamb, ground beef, chicken, ostrich, quail,

and yes, even duck (Fresh natural is good, free-range and organic grass-fed is best).

*NOTE: The downsides to eating meats that are not natural organic or grass-fed

include: exposure to high levels of pesticides, herbicides, and animal antibiotics.

Genetically modified feed that is designed to make these animals heavier and fatter

more quickly at the time of slaughter, means the same thing can happen to you

when you eat these meats. In addition, many of these animals are fed ground-up,

dead pigs, chickens, cows, goats, horses, and lamb that were too sick to sell to the

slaughterhouse so they are mixed with feed and fed to these animals.

Many scientists categorically state that this is the primary cause of mad cow

disease and other diseases that have surfaced in the last few decades as the

result of unhealthy feed practices in the cattle, chicken, and meat industry at

large.

8. Stevia

Stevia as a sweetener.

9. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Olive oil (extra virgin and cold pressed) regular and balsamic vinegar

(for salad dressing).


34/63

Chapter10

32

10. Pure Water

Water with a little fresh-squeezed lemon or lime should be your beverage of

choice.

11. Beans

Beans and peas that include chana dal, dried chickpeas, kidney beans, lentils,

frozen lima beans, yellow split peas, black-eyed peas, and baked beans.

(Remember, canned are ok, but natural beans that you soak overnight and

cook, are better and organic are best).

12. Foods from Nature

Natural foods in their natural state .Thatis the good-stuff.Processed,refined, man-made foods are bad. (Beware of hidden sugars, refined flour, and

excitotoxins/MSG in canned food and many sauces). Even dark chocolate can

improve insulin sensitivity, as long as its not artificially sweetened.

Whenever possible, these should be the foods you buy at the grocery and whenyou are out at a restaurant. As we told you previously, there are many alternatives

to eating bread made with refined, white flour. Totally delicious varieties of whole,

exotic grains include whole grain spelt, whole grain kamut, whole grain brown rice

bread, whole grain rye, and the healthiest of them all: whole grain sprouted bread.

Just because the label says wheat breador multigrain, does not mean you

are getting 100% whole grain flour or bread.

WHOLE TO MAKE YOU WHOLE!

Why are we recommending whole grains so strongly for Type 2 Diabetics?

First: Whole grains offer beneficial fiber.

Second: Whole grains offer healthy oils that help regulate glucose metabolism.

Third: Those same healthy fats interfere with the conversion of carbs into glucose.

Just so you know, when you eat white bread, it is almost the same as gettingan intravenous sugar fix. Similar to the instant breakfast cereals we told you

about earlier, white bread is so fluffy and has such a high surface area that it is

very quickly converted to glucose during digestion.

Whole grains, on the other hand, are converted to useful fuel much more

slowly; they dont spike glucose levels and they provide your body with more

complex carbs that help sustain and regulate glucose metabolism over a

longer period of time. (Natural whole grains are good, organic whole grainsare better).

This is because many grains in North America are genetically modified

specifically for the feedindustry to make the animals that the grain is fed togrow faster, fatter, and ultimately to weigh more at the time of slaughter. The

problem with this is that genetically modified grains designed to make animals

gain weight and get fat quickly so that they weigh more, can do the same

thing to humans causing not only excess fat and weight gain, but elevated


35/63

33

Chapter10

glucose levels, insulin resistance, and increased likeliness of cardiovascular

complications.

The resulting load on your pancreas is lightened, and in some cases, regular

ingestion of complex carbs can even help reduce the need for insulin. Eating

whole grains can improve emotional balance, moods, and can also protect yourbody from hyperglycemic conditions, which are known to promote diabeticneuropathy and other diabetes health complications.

We have emphasized the need to avoid white flower and instead to start eating

complex carbs because it is a very important choice that can improve your

health and complex carbs can also help with brain fog and muscle fatigue. The

benefits are numerous.

Along with those benefits, remember it is very important to supplement with

vitamins and minerals. Did you know that there is a natural mineral compound

that amazingly provides a nutrient that your body uses to act like natural insulin

in your body? Some research has shown it to help reduce insulin resistance, andit has been tested in numerous clinical studies?

In the next chapter we will be sharing the details of this amazing mineral and how

it can increase your quality of life!


36/63

Chapter 11Fiber is Your Friend

You must try to eat a lot of fiber in your diet. This can be accomplished

by specifically buying high fiber products at the grocery store. How doyou get a lot of fiber? You get it from the whole grain products that we

mentioned earlier and from fresh fruit and vegetables.

Three or four stalks of celery provide you with an excellent dose of

fiber for your body. Brown rice is also an excellent fiber source. You

can even buy healthy fiber supplements in just about any supermarket.

Psyllium husk fiber is one of the best fiber products out there.

Fiber helps detoxify the digestive tract and clear out putrefied and

undigested food and toxins from the large intestine.

Remember, not only are organic fruits, nuts, seeds, and beans high in

minerals and vitamins, but they are also high in fiber for the digestive

tract. As you become accustomed to eating more of them, you will

craveless and less high Glycemic foods (junk foods) and your body will

become accustomed to low Glycemic index, low Glycemic load fuels.

FACT, NOT FICTION!

Did you know that in the early 1800s, people consumed about 12

pounds of sugar per year? Currently, the average American consumes

more than 150 pounds per year. People who drink sodas typically

consume over 300 pounds of sugar per year.


37/63

35

Chapter11

Clinical study after clinical study clearly demonstrates that sugar compromises

the human metabolic engine because its Glycemic index is too high and it is

converted to glucose much too quickly.

The human body is not designed to run on high-octane sugar fuel. Our bodies

are supposed to have a majority of naturally occurring foods such as fruit,vegetables, protein, and whole grain carbs. Excessive white flour and white

sugar consumption causes mineral deficiencies, glucose spikes, insulin

resistance, and can lead to complications that result in potentially permanent

damage to the body.

White sugar and white bread consumption overloads the pancreas because

the pancreas is the organ that produces the insulin necessary to lower glucose.

Burning out the pancreas, day after day, month after month, and year after year,

guzzling soft drinks loaded with refined sugars, and chowing down white breadand white sugar like theres no tomorrow will eventually burn out the pancreas.

FIGHT THE RESISTANCE!Give your pancreas a rest and avoid all refined carbs. People who overload

their pancreas to the point where it no longer produces insulin, like it once did,

have adult-onset Type 2 diabetes. To make matters worse, people with Type 2

diabetes develop the condition known as insulin resistance. This means thateven though the pancreas still produces increasing amounts of insulin, the cell

receptors in the body fail to respond to it and are unable to remove glucose

from the bloodstream.

Sometimes Type 2 diabetes is the result of insulin resistance (a lack of insulin

cell receptor sensitivity), sometimes the pancreas can no longer produce insulin

and sometimes both. Either way, when you consume excessive amounts of

refined flour and sugar, you promote both conditions and will end up with one orthe other, in the health condition known as Type 2 Diabetes.

Bottom Line: cut refined sugars and refined white flour out of your diet!Type 2

Diabetes is associated with poor diet (low in fiber, high in sugar and

unhealthy fats and animal products, and a lack of regular, healthy

exercise). Type2 diabetes typically develops slowly over a period of years

and initially does not product dramatic symptoms. Thats why many people

with Type 2 diabetes have no idea that their health is at a dangerous risk.

Even the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has stated

publically that only half of Americans with Type 2 Diabetes have

actually been diagnosed.

The Textbook of Natural Medicine states: Epidemiological and

experimental data show diabetes mellitus (Type2 Diabetes) to beone of the diseases most clearly related to inadequate dietary fiber

intake.

The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine states: The frequency of

diabetes is highly correlated with the fiber depleted, high refined

carbohydrate of civilization.


38/63

Chapter11

BACK TO THE BASICS

The high incidence of Type 2 Diabetes in modern society is associated with a

fiber-depleted, man-made, refined, modern diet. Returning to a more natural

high fiber diet, similar to what our ancestors used to eat, can be highly

beneficial.

Nutritional researchers and scientists have been investigating the potential

of fibers health benefits for decades. Both soluble fiber and insoluble fiber

can help to prevent the elevated glucose level complications of diabetes by

delaying the absorption of starches and sugars in the body.

Soluble fiber can dissolve in the body and inside the intestines where it

creates a sticky, gelatinous substance that slows the absorption of sugars

and starches (such as that found in fruits and vegetables).

Insoluble fiber (such as that found in whole grains like buckwheat and

Psyllium husks), delay the absorption of sugars and starches in the digestive

tract by adding bulk. Whole grains take longer to break down and digestthan refined flour and grains, by helping prevent peaks in glucose levels and

thus require less insulin to process.

Find out which whole grains, fruits, vegetables and other complex

carbohydrates wont spike your glucose levels by using the GlucALite

Quick Reference Glycemic chart, an easy-to-use chart of beneficial and

non-beneficial foods that can affect your glucose levels. You can view the

GlucALite Glycemic chart athttp://glucalite.com/glucalite-glycemic-

chart/.

Remember the mineral we promised to tell you about in the last chapter? Its

vanadium. Based on scientific studies, many researchers believe that vanadium

plays a role in catalyzing a variety of enzymes as well as being involved in the

metabolism of glucose and lipids. Be warned, all vanadium is not created equal.

Remember, the keys for blood sugar health are in your hands.

Giving up a food that is not beneficial means stopping a bad habit thatcontributed to your diabetes.

Choosing one or two actions per day, and making those your daily lifestylechoices, without cheating, will change your life.

If you are really serious, first decide to stick to this plan one day, one meal,

and one hour at a time and dont worry about absolute perfection for the

entire 18 days. Remember, it is what you do 80-90% of the time that will

have a major impact on your overall health.

If you slip on one meal, make the decision and take the action to make the

right choice for the following meal.

A clear step-by-step daily action plan will help keep you from feeling

overwhelmed and anxious. With the GlucALite18-Day Action Plan you

know where you are going each day, how to proceed, and you get the gift

of certainty in at least 1 action per day. Having certainty about healthychoices gives you a sense of peace and supports you in making clear and

exact decisions each moment of the day. Each day, simply consult the 1 or 2

action steps from this list and do them.

Just choose an action step from the plan that allows you to see what there is

to do (or not do) each day to get to where you want to be. You get clear

specific actions; you decide to move forward each day with clear, concise

direction, and your daily choice of action delivers you to your destination in

just 18 days, a happy and healthier life. The certainty you experience with a

clear single action per day builds confidence and brings forth the right action

in the form of healthy choices by you.

Your GlucALite18-Day Action Plan will work if you work the plan. The

funny thing about what seemed like tough choices is that they become

easier and easier after you make them for several days in order to build

healthy lifestyle habits.

Follow through on this simple action plan for 18 days. By your 19th day, yourbodysbiochemistry will have changed radically. People who follow these simplesteps can experience balanced glucose metabolism, reduced insulin resistance,and possibly reduced need for drugs and insulin injections.

One act at a time adds up to a healthy life. Commit to healthy fuel, eating,

and physical activity or exercise. Stay away from fast food, choose wisely,

commit to healthy low impact exercise that will make you stronger, more

energetic and that can lower your blood sugar.

Most individuals also experience the bonus side effects of reduced bodyfat,increased energy, vibrancy, and a whole new outlook on life. Remember, it iscrucial that you take action every day, as well as eat at least 3 meals a day andat the same time every day in order to support and maintain regular blood sugarlevels.

Action Step 1:Start reading all packaged food and drink labels and

focus on eliminating high fructose corn syrup from all foods and drinks

you put in your body.

Action Step 2:Move your body for at least 5 minutes. Take a walk,

do some gardening, house cleaning, biking, turn on your favoritemusic and dance; any physical movement that your fitness level

allows for at least five minutes.

Action Step 3:Decide to do this program every day for 18 days andexperience how much better you start to feel every day. Be sure to test

your fasting glucose level and write it down!

Action Step 1: Eliminate all soda pop, diet or regular, from your

menu. Do not drink them at all. (Remember, drinking just one diet

soda a day can increase your risk of developing Syndrome X by 33%).

Action Step 2:Make water your drink of choice every time you think

you are thirsty or even hungry. Buy some lemons or limes and squeezefresh cut lemon or lime wedges into the water.

If you must have the satisfaction of a sweet flavor in your drink, buy

some liquid or powdered stevia and add a small amount (because

steviais much sweeter than sugar) to the water for a healthy, refreshinglemonade or limeade drink).

Action Step 3:Move your body/exercise for 6 minutes today.

Action Step 1:Make apples your choice of snack food starting

today and from now on (organic green Granny Smith variety is ideal).

Action Step 2:Eat low Glycemic index vegetables like broccoli orcauliflower with at least one meal per day (for a list of low Glycemic

vegetables, see chapter 9).

Action Step 3:Exercise for at least 7 minutes today (A daily walk is

fine. To make it easy, just keep adding a minute a day). This is the

method that the Shaolin monks employed when they had to train

peasants in small villages how to defend themselves in a short period f

time. They did this by adding a very small amount of time to the training

each day.

Action Step 1:Buy some whole grain sprouted bread (Ezekiel Bread is

ideal, Uncle Sams is ok and is in the freezer section) for all sandwiches

and toast. If you cannot find whole grain sprouted, whole grain brown

rice, rye, and spelt are also excellent choices. Decide to eat 100%

whole grains a majority of the time from today on and do it.

Action Step 2:Eliminate white flour, white sugar, and refined

bleached carbohydrates from your diet. Yes, that means no donuts,

pastries, white bread, crackers, cakes, or cookies that contain white

Action Step 1:Today you get to add nuts and seeds such as walnuts,

pumpkin seeds, flax, almonds, sunflower, cashews, macadamia nuts, Brazil

nuts (which are very high in Chromium), and pistachios to your healthy snack

list. Small quantities of no more than 12 nuts at a time are ideal (try not to eat

more than15 to 20 nuts in any 90 minute period, roasted are ok, raw is best).Action Step 2:Start eating one salad a day at one meal and use extra virgin,cold-pressed olive oil with either balsamic vinegar or lemon or lime juice for

salad dressing. Cracked black pepper and/or cayenne pepper are excellent ifyou want to add a little spice to the salad.

Action Step 3:Move your body or exercise for at least 9 minutes today.

Hiking, bicycling, swimming, yoga, tai chi, and even ping pong are all great.

Action Step 1:Expanding and reinforcing Day 4: Stop eating any form of

added sugar in all food that you put in your body. Again, this means

reading all labels and finding out what is in food before putting it in your

body. Remember to not eat any food with sugar, high fructose corn syrup,table sugar, evaporated cane juice crystals, brown sugar, or sucrose.

Action Step 2:That means no more pancakes with syrup, no more cakes,

no more ice cream, no more frozen yogurt, no more sweetened yogurt, and

no more store-bought cookies. Buy plain yogurt and add vanilla flavor or a

small amount of raw cocoa powder and stevia to taste if you want it sweet.

If you must have pancakes, cakes, pastries, or cookies, bake them at home

with 100% whole grains such as (brown rice flour, or spelt flour) and use

stevia for sweetener. You can add whole oats and a small amount of raisins

or chopped dates for oatmeal cookies and walnuts or macadamias and

unsweetened dark chocolate chips for chocolate chip cookies.

Remember to add an extra egg or two to the recipe batter, and even better,a scoop of brown rice or whey protein, as this will lower the Glycemic index

of the cookies significantly due to the extra protein.

Action Step 3:Move your body or exercise for at least 10 minutes today.

Any form of continuous movement including cleaning the windows,mopping, sweeping, and vacuuming, counts. You can also a get a

rebounder, which is a tiny trampoline. Jumping on it for just a few minutes

a day will give you tremendous exercise benefits.

Action Step 1:Start by retesting your fasting glucose level and write

it down. You should be quite surprised.

Action Step 2:If you must have cereal, start eating only 100% whole graincereal including whole rolled oats (steel cut) Kashi, Muesli, whole grain

granola with nuts, oat groats, brown rice, Ezekiel cereal and Uncle Sams

cereal. Use non-fat skim milk or low-fat milk, minimum non-bovine growth

hormone certified/BHT, best is organic. Also acceptable, goat milk diluted

50% with water, soy milk (with no sugar added), and almond milk. For

sweetener, use powdered stevia (Truviais good, organic with inulin is better).

From this day forward, eat only 100% whole grains. Do not eat refined

grains. Just so you know, wheat bread is simply white bread with a

fancy label name and does not qualify as whole grain bread. The

ingredients on the label must read 100% whole grain flour. White flour,

wheat flour, enriched and even unbleached flour is all refined. 100%Whole grain is the key.

Action Step 3:Exercise or move your body for at least 11 minutes

today. And today we want you to start exercising or moving your

body outside to get the benefits of sunlight and vitamin D, which are

beneficial to people with Type 2 diabetes. If it is cold, bundle up, butget outside for your exercise or movement today. Shoveling snow,

throwing snowballs, and building a snowman, counts.

Action Step 1:Stop eating all artificial sweeteners. This includes saccharin,

aspartame, NutraSweet, and sucralose. Remember, your sweetener ofchoice from now on should be stevia, which does not raise glucose levels.

Action Step 2:The only alternative sweeteners that you may use from

time to time that are marginally acceptable are agave syrup and Xylitol.

If you must chew gum, remember to only chew gum that is sweetened

with Xylitol.
