The ancestor’s diet is the way to go. Humans originally did not drop by a fast food joint for a chocolate shake and fries after hunting mammoth all day.
Beef, chicken, fish, pork, all vegetables (even potatoes), salad greens and tomatoes, some fruit - like berries and melons - but nothing battered and deep fried.
I allow myself a small glass of red wine with dinner and milk in my coffee in the morning - these aren’t exactly what one would expect to find in the cave’s pantry but hey! A little will not hurt.
It may well be that early man brewed beer but no potato chips, no clam dip, and no football. Those ice age winters were hellish.
Now you're making me hungry.
After hunting mammoth all day, they stopped by the BBQ place,lol!
But seriously...14 yr type 2 here...spent many yrs on that river in Egypt,realised I wasn’t immortal so I started to pay attention! Last A1C was 13.7 with morning BS at 275! Moved to Ga in Jan’08 and now my BS is 120. Using part of Nustrisystem for food,not too bad if you’ve spent your life in drive-thrus. Awaiting tests in June. Current(and Best)book I’ve read is Taking Control of Your Diabetes by Steven Edelman...lelarned more in this book than any diabetes seminar put on by hospitals! Prayer and good luck to all!
