Hi there

Many people have experienced encouraging results wrt to lower blood sugar levels, and in some cases completely going off their diabetic meds, after going on a low-carb Banting styled diet.

However, everyone’s different so I would recommend that you consult a registered dietician/medical practitioner before experimenting although it’s likely that excluding all sugars and going low-carb or carb-free would signal some improvement.

Here’s some more info regarding a typical diabetes diet:

Hi Vicky

If you’re really serious about losing weight I would recommend not drinking cool drink or eating sugar at all.

Rather drink water or green tea, for example, instead of cool drinks & if you really have to substitute sugar use something like xylitol.

It’s best though to get your brain not to crave the sweetness as this only creates temptation – once you’re past craving sweet stuff you’ll only want to eat good wholesome stuff without the cravings or feeling hungry.

All the best

Thanks

I have been eating foods from the green list for almost 2 weeks now. I’ve lost 10% of the total weight I want to shed. I’ve found I have absolutely NO craving for carbos (including sugar) and only eat until I’m full when I’m hungry.

My only concern is, I am addicted to Coke Zero, and drink about 2 litres of it per day. I used Coke Zero as a replacement for the 20 cigarettes I smoked per day for 40 years, almost 2 years ago.

I would really appreciate a comprehensive explanation as to why diet soda’s are never again list.

With sincere thanks.

Hi Mamosa

Sorry to hear that you’re feeling so uncomfortable & I would recommend seeing your health practioner or a registered dietician.

However, many people have seen incredible weight loss & health improvements just by making these food choices;

1. Avoiding sugar in all its forms
2. Avoiding vegetable oils (eg. sunflower oil) & processed foods
3. Eating more healthy fats (eg, avocadoes, fish, olive oil..)
4. Avoiding pasta, potatoes, bread, and all starches & simple carbs
5. Eating a LCHF (Low-carb, High-fat) diet like the Banting diet.

Start with this Banting meal plan => http://paleopower.co.za/banting-meal-plan/

If you stick to this way of eating I’m sure you’ll probably start seeing some encouraging results soon & start feeling better.

All the best
