Diabetic Improves on HIGH-Carb Diet!

http://www.mercola.com/2006/dec/21/diabetic-improves-on-high-carb-diet.htm

Paula is a 64-year-old diabetic and she has struggled with high triglycerides and very high cholesterol. Her comprehensive blood test clearly indicated insulin-resistant type 2 diabetes.

 

Her previous physician enriched the drug companies by prescribing Lipitor, a drug that in no way, shape or form treats the cause of the problem but gives Pfizer a cool $13 billion a year in revenues. Fortunately, she could not tolerate it. (She probably got a 'thank you' note from her liver for stopping the Lipitor!)

 

Paula is five feet tall and was about 30 pounds overweight when she visited the Optimal Wellness Center in April of this year. As a new patient, she expressed frustration that:

 

"No matter what I do, I just can't seem to lose weight and keep it off."

 

She also reported that she loves desserts. In fact, she has a history of having strong cravings for sugar and bread. (Cravings for sugar or bread or other refined grain products are ALWAYS a big clue that someone is NOT eating right for their type of metabolism.)

 

Through metabolic typing, Paula was identified as a strong carb type. Our carb type nutrition plan emphasizes that fresh, organic, raw vegetable nutrition is a carb type's most valuable food. More specifically, fresh, organic, raw vegetable juice is (almost always) a carb type's most powerful food medicine.

 

Fresh, organic, raw fruit nutrition is also valuable for a carb type, plus, it is very important for a carb type to eat enough of the right type of protein and fat at every meal. Eating carb type appropriate chicken vegetable soup, in addition to other 'hot' foods, is highly recommended, especially in cold weather.

 

Well, it took Paula some time to do the planning and preparation necessary before she could consistently eat right for her metabolic type, but, in the middle of June, she did begin to follow our prime carb type nutrition plan about 90 to 95 percent of the time.

 

Over the course of the next four to five months, Paula realized the following benefits:

 

She experienced a huge reduction in her cravings for sugar and bread

Her carb type meals were so satisfying to her, she could easily go for five to six hours after breakfast and lunch, before she began to feel hungry again

Her energy, stamina, mood and mental clarity all improved

She Lost 18.25 Pounds Without Dieting!!!

 

 

All of these benefits really helped to improve the quality of Paula's daily life. From a blood chemistry perspective, the value of our carb type nutrition plan was shown in the dramatic improvements she realized from her first blood test in April, compared to her second blood test in September.

 

It is important to keep in mind that these improvements began to be achieved when Paula started to eat right for her metabolic type and used food as her medicine! Also, keep in mind that she is 64 years of age and she had only been eating right for her metabolic type for three months when her blood test was repeated.

Test results from April 28, 2006

 

Insulin: 13

Glucose: 144

Triglycerides: 238

Total Cholesterol: 298

HDL's: 45

LDL's: 205

Test results from September 21, 2006

 

Insulin: 5

Glucose: 85

Triglycerides: 125

Total Cholesterol: 259

HDL's: 48

LDL's: 186

She Did NOT Take Any Prescription Drugs!

 

Paula's insulin and glucose levels from September are not only no longer at diabetic levels -- these levels are outstandingly healthy for a carb type in her age group.

Her levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL's & LDL's still have lots of room for further improvement, but she is NO longer at high risk for heart disease. In fact, every day that she eats right for her metabolic type -- she moves further away from disease and she gets closer and closer to realizing her full health potential at this time of her life.
