Diabetes Type 2 is a lifestyle choice, indicated by a pot belly (although I had mine since birth) and an obese body, as are the many complications which might occur as the disease progresses.
If you take medication prescribed by your Doctor, continue to do so.
2 years ago I weighed 118kg, a random blood test showed 10, where the line which determines Diabetes free, from Diabetes Type 2, is 7.0, I was progressing towards Type 1 Diabetes which would have eventually meant sticking myself with a needle and injecting insulin presumably and other procedures I prefer not to think about.
I decided at a specific point in time to stop the progression of Diabetes, to reverse the process and if I could, get rid of Diabetes altogether – I have been Diabetes Type 2 free, for over 2 years so far.
Either way, my diet below, is simple and effective when you fast walk, for 20 plus minutes, daily, as well, which is a must and you lose weight automatically, you simply can’t help yourself from doing so.
In the medical updates which I have read with interest, it seems that my diet is also a way of protecting my body also, against heart and brain related diseases, especially as I get older than my 65 years.
The lighter you, the better control over your Diabetes and the longer your life.
I settled on the enclosed diet of 2,500 Calories each day.
Breakfast:
2 x eggs raw.
2 serves of 2 biscuits of Weetbix = 4
1 Tablespoon of low fat dried milk powder, mixed with water.
3 pieces of fruit (Advocado, Apple & a Banana) I liquidise the fruit into a smoothie which I drink with my tablets – prior to my morning fast walk.
Snack 10am (after the daily morning walk).
Handful of nuts
1 piece of fruit,
Sticks of Celery.
Mug of water
Lunch 12.30 pm
1 x 130g to 200g can of raw fish in brine: Salmon, Herring, Sardines, Mackerel, Tuna, etc
1 x piece of fruit, as above.
Mug of water
Afternoon snack
2 mugs of juiced carrots with Apple or celery sticks.
Piece of fruit, as above
Mug of water
Dinner:
Usual meal, minimise portions to reduce amount of food the body needs, however without salt, fat or sugar related products
As an alternative to water, I drink Coffee with “Coffeemate”, which gives it a creamy taste – but is not milk and I do not use sugar at all.
If you enjoy a drink, try to drink sugar free drinks
I used to get fatigue around 2pm through to about 4pm and could never work out why I always felt tired then. The solution was quite straight forward. Eating the 1 x 130g to 200g can of fish in brine, at lunchtime, recharged my energy banks for most of the afternoon and made me awake and aware of what was happening around me, even when I felt physically tired and that has in itself, changed my life and my enjoyment of life enormously.
Of course and it goes without saying, I must eat and drink no sugar related products which includes no alcohol of any type and although I have never smoked, giving up smoking, is a must too.
If you think that giving up alcohol, sugar drinks and smoking is too much – then remember you are doing so for your life and continuing to live for as long as you possibly can vs an unpleasant, slow and perhaps, un-necessary death.
So what’s the upside? For the last 2 years I have been Diabetes Type 2 free with a normal blood sugar reading of 6.1 from my 3 monthly blood tests. My body organs have regenerated to full health, including my eyes which were failing.
I am in my mid 60’s and I intend to never have Diabetes Type 2 again.
I hope my diet and exercise plan, which is simplicity itself and the cure, automatic, will help those of you willing to give it a try and I would be happy to support and encourage everyone willing to give themselves a second chance with my diet, through this forum.
