We stopped eating animal products and my doctor said my diabetes is gone. (Yes, yes, I know it really didn't go away, it is still lurking somewhere just waiting for me to eat the wrong stuff, but that's what my doctor said!)
Once in a while we eat some cheese. For milk, we use soy, almond or coconut milk, except it won't whip up, so we use cool-whip (not good for you) in rare cases. We do eat eggs, but we buy those from a farm where the chickens are not tortured.
We do eat fish and other seafood, but nothing from Thailand or Vietnam, etc. cause that is not healthy. (Look it up on the internet....read the labels at Sam's Club closely).
Once you give up animal products, breads, pastas, and eat more veggies and fruits, plus get rid of all the other stuff I mentioned earlier (corn, bananas, etc) the the weight falls off and your diabetes will be much improved.
When you give up the animal products, you rarely eat anything fatty. You don't even have to think about it. Or count calories, or worry about carbs (because remember you gave up bread, pasta, potatoes, corn, bananas, rice, flour, sugar, etc.)
Now once in a while, I'll make one of my sugar-free desserts and some have flour or cream cheese, but that is an exception, and cheese is a fatty animal product.
The answer is YESSS!! It will work. Now, Freeda can probably explain all the technical and scientific reasons much better than me, but I can assure you that your high blood sugar will disappear if you are consistent. Because your body has permanently changed, the diabetes will always be lurking inside, and your blood sugar will elevate if you begin eating the wrong stuff again.
Plus, don't forget to make Moses happy with a daily walk.
If you decide to give this a go, I can give you some good menu ideas so you won't feel deprived.
And, while you are reading about health, get the book "The China Study" because it will change your life.
