Diabetes
virginiabm:
Hi family, I just found out two weeks ago that I have type 2 Diabetes. Do any of you have some diabetic meals. I have been way over weight since my sons got into trouble because I am a stress eater, so I ask Jesus to help me lose weight for my healths sake.
I look at this diabetes as a answer to my prayer, because having this has given me what I need to lose wight. I have lost 7 pounds since I found out. I know some of you might think I'm crazy for feeling this way, but God answered my prayer. I know type 2 diabetes can be beaten if it's treated right and I am very motivated to beating it.
Do any of you have any diabetic meals to offer? I would appreciate it.
By the way my sons are doing real good. With the new laws they might be getting out early. Oh how I hope so. As of right now Jamie could get out within the next three years.
Steven got a longer sentence than Jamie, so he's still got a long ways to go, but he is doing real good.
Well I hope you all can help feed me right. lol
Your sister, virginia

NO Sugar - Low carbohydrates will cure Type 2 Diabetes - It's all over the Internet.
When Ray tried to cure his cancer his Diabetes went 100% away as a side effect.
And NO artificially sweetened anything.

Hi Virginia,
Dennis is right you need to go low carb, start reading labels and look at the 'total carbohydrate' number, it needs to be low. I am pre-diabetic, my blood sugar runs around 100, so I have to be very careful what I eat to keep off meds, but I'm doing it so far.
Sugars (even honey) is a major no no, there are a few more 'natural' sweeteners out there than the artificial stuff, I use stevia in my drinks (tea, coffee) now. But really all processed foods (white flour, white rice, pasta) products are not good as well, you want 'whole grain' products and it will be a challenge trying to remove most of that stuff. But bread and fruit are my main problems now, those really have to be consumed in moderation.
You have to be careful that you don't just replace the stuff you used to eat with all the diabetic friendly stuff out there now, if losing weight is a goal, there is quite a bit of it out there now and it still has lots of calories.
Hope this helps.
mercy, peace and love
Kat

Dennis' recommendations may sound drastic, but they are correct.
One "secret" to gaining control of your appetites is to understand how the body works.
We convert carbs to sugar to energy. If you don't burn the energy that is created then the body either casts it off in waste material or stores it as fat. The secret is to understand that the body operates on habitual history and genetics.
For example you cannot eat properly for good health and lose a pound or two and then reward yourself with candy or cake or ice cream every week end.
You could reward yourself with sweets every three months or so, but not more often.
So pick another form of reward such as an expensive steak dinner. (smile)
We all are addicted to our appetites just as much as an alcoholic or a drug user is addicted to theirs.
The human body does not forget what the body likes.
It takes time for the body to adjust to the new "no sugar" foods. Forming new, life long habits takes time and determination. AND every body is different. Some can burn sugar and some cannot do it as well. We need to do what is right and necessary for our own physical system.
The body will not burn fat as long as our blood sugar is sufficient to keep us operating at our normal pace. If your life style is sedentary, low exercise, then one teaspoon of sugar will go a long way. A can of peaches in heavy syrup will keep you going all day.
The extra "good" food you eat for vitamins and minerals although necessary, won't make up for the unnecessary can of peaches that gives you pleasure.
2. The flora or bacteria in our small intestines actually do the digesting of complex carbohydrates and vegetables and meat. We need a healthy complement of billions of bacteria specifically for the digestion of healthy foods.
When we eat sugar, even a little at every meal, the sugar stimulates the production of the type of bacteria that love sugar. At the same time the production of bacteria that will break down healthy foods is reduced.
With the result that the nutrients in the healthy foods may be lost. WHY?
Well the healthy foods such as vegetables take longer to break down in the intestines and when we eat sugary foods and sweet breads made of white flour with our veggies, the veggies speed through the digestive tract too fast to be absorbed. Once the digested food is passed on to the large intestine for storage the benefits are lost.
The truth is out there, but so are the sales pitches for an easy way to good health.
The truth is that there is no easy way, until we change our habits and make them life long and life changing.
Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, all of the above is my own research and conclusions.
Be like the more noble Bereans, check it out for yourself and pray for guidance.
