Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Hello Group, I have been reading your discussions and I have checked out the files. I am so happy to have found this group. It has been almost a month since I started to eat raw foods. Up to now, I have been a big meat and sugar eater. So, it should come as no surprise that I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 2 years ago. That was the beginning of my journey to health . . . I won't bore you with all of the details, but approximately one month of eating at least 60% raw has brought me many health benefits. After walking this morning my blood sugar is down to 117. Now, I know it should be below 100, but this is without any medication and I am enjoying apples, bananas, pineapples, mangos,...etc on a daily basis. A month ago my morning glucose reading was 165 to 185. I used to avoid fruits and veggies and go for meat, pasta, breads and candy. It is amazing to me that the green salads are suddenly tasting so good. <<excuse me while I do my own little happy dance>> LOL I have not given up my morning cup of coffee yet, but that will come in it's own time. I have added a green smoothie to the morning routine and it lasts me until lunchtime. I am still using store bought salad dressings, but that will change eventually too. Thank you for all of the good discussions here and all of the information that I have been able to put to use. This is a great group. And lastly, thank you Tommie for the information about L'equip blenders. I ordered one online and received it in 2 days. I love it! ~~Lainey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
