Hello, I'm new here, from Sweden.
I can't help but wish to share some information and experience about diets and diabetics. I used to be a raw foodist myself but stopped since my teeth didn't do well on raw foods.
I've been reading some facts from Steve's intake of fruits and it only made me understand things clearer.
For example: as long as person tries to fill up on carbs, no fats, no protein, trouble will most certainly arise. The calorie intake will not help by filling up on more veggies or fruit. You would have to eat tremendous amounts of veggies.
Try this way insteead:
1. More natural fats, animal and/or olive oil (no carbs in it)
2. Eliminate carbs like fruits (bananas are very high in carbs, gives you 'sugar' etc), poatoes, rice, pasta and breads
3. Eat only veggies growing above the soil, and berries, herbs
3. eat, if you like, raw mylks, cheese, yoghurts, eggs
This regimen is more natural for us in cold countries like Sweden and parts of USA. Check native people, the Massai is a very good example.No heart disease, no high blood pressure, no diabetes; they eat meat and drink milk etc.
You experience No insulin hickup and you will feel full and satisfied which makes you stop binge eating, feel nausea from all the sugary carbs.
Underweight will gradually gain healthy weight and muscle mass (a raw food diet is very low in good, wholesome protein, thats why so many are feeling their strenght deteriorating after a few years)
Overweight and diabetics do wonderfully on this diet. There are many testimonials, some very long term.
I think we are about 6 000 thousand people trying this in Sweden with extremly good results. Many doctors follow this themseves since it is so effective. It's called: Low Carb - High Fat. People are thrilled and we get very educated through our LCHF-forums. We are able to study the latest in research about this and it looks like we are going back to eating like times before the agriculture era. No, grains, no breads, no such carbs and we feel so good! And we though fat was BAD. Hey, I have never had such clean, white teeth...no hunger for sugar, no nasuea, just plain calm on fattening food from ancient times. I feel like a cave man but so relaxed. I was always hungry and snacking away on raw foods. It was so hard to fill mysef up on fruit, nuts and seeds. And expencive. Now we never worrie.Ever...
Thank You, Sahira
