NUTRITION

This is an article that a friend of mine, Webster Smith, posted.

Written by: Mark Hyman, MD Practicing physician and pioneer in functional medicine

I'm only going to post a small piece of the article here, but the whole thing is well worth reading.

Dietary Recommendations to Reverse Diabetes

Here are more specifics.

Meal Timing

• Eat protein for breakfast every day, such as whole omega-3 eggs, a soy protein shake, or nut butters.

• Eat something every 4 hours to keep your insulin and glucose levels normal.

• Eat small protein snacks in the morning and afternoon, such as a handful of almonds.

• Finish eating at least 2 to 3 hours before bed. If you have a snack earlier in the day, you won't be as hungry, even if you eat a little later.

Meal Composition

• Controlling the glycemic load of your meals is very important.

• You can do this by combining adequate protein, fats, and whole-food carbohydrates from vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and fruit at every meal or snack.

• It is most important to avoid eating quickly absorbed carbohydrates alone, as they raise your sugar and insulin levels.

Travel Suggestions

• Two handfuls of almonds in a zip-lock bag make a useful emergency snack. You can eat them with a piece of fruit. Remember, real food is the best.

What to Eat

Choose from a variety of the following real, whole foods:

• Choose organic produce and animal products whenever possible.

• Eat high-quality protein, such as fish -- especially fatty, cold-water fish like salmon, sable, small halibut, herring, and sardines -- and shellfish.

• Cold-water fish such as salmon, halibut, and sable contain an abundance of beneficial essential fatty acids, omega-3 oils that reduce inflammation. Choose smaller wild Alaskan salmon, sable, and halibut that are low in toxins. Canned wild salmon is a great "emergency" food.

• Eat up to eight omega-3 eggs a week.
