THE HYPOGLYCEMIC DIET
This diet is optimal for everyone whether or not you have hypoglycemia.
|
Prepare
your food whenever possible with organic produce. If you must buy processed
food (canned, frozen, whatever) always examine the ingredient label
for chemical additives. You dont want manmade chemicals of any
kind in your food. |
|
1. |
Divide your day's food intake into five small meals. |
2. |
Avoid all foods with chemical additives...such as artificial flavors,
sweeterners and colors. Avoid MSG. Don't eat in fast food restaurants...they
have additives. |
3. |
Eliminate
all man-made sugars...table sugar, maple syrup, corn syrups, etc. Molasses
and honey are relatively healthy sugars, but not for hypoglycemics. |
4. |
Stay away from all junk food. Eliminate man-made starches...bread, pasta,
cakes, pastries, cookies, confections. |
5. |
Avoid soda-pop and super-market energy drinks. They are chemical cocktails. |
6. |
Avoid
products containing canola and cotton-seed oils...and all soy products
that have not been fermented. Soy sauce is okay. |
| 7. |
Eat
meats that are low-fat and protein-rich. Focus on fish and fowl, not
fried. Avoid mammal meat...and sea-food that is farm raised. |
| 8. |
Eat
a complex carbohydrate diet, high in fiber. Focus on whole grains, fresh
fruit and fresh vegetables. Avoid products with gluten. |
| 9. |
Some
vegetables like bananas, peas, potatoes, carrots and beets are high
in natural sugar. If you have hypoglycemia avoid them until you
heal...you may need to restrict yourself to salads for a while. Consult
with your nutritionist. |
| 10. |
Eliminate
homogenized-pasteurized cows milk...it is a dead food. Butter and yogurt
are okay. Be careful of yogurt with additives. Goat milk products are
preferable. No ice-cream
at all. |
| 11. | Eliminate all social drugs such as nicotine, caffeine, alcohol and street drugs. |
| 12. | Tap water must be filtered for drinking and cooking...or buy quality spring water. |
| 13. | Take vitamins and minerals as prescribed by your nutritionist. |
