[Diabetes-talk] Different Diet

Sun Oct 23 00:22:49 UTC 2016

More and more research shows the positive effect of such diets, but again,
if you truly don't have the discipline to follow and just really enjoy
certain foods, it's better to stick to a mealplan you can consistently
follow instead of starting and stopping another.

Personally, I like the Paleo mealplan. I started this this past winter and
stuck with it until I became pregnant. I'm not majorly cheating on it, but
once I have this baby, I plan to go back full on it. Essentially, you cut
out wheat, grains, dairy and refined sugars. You're supposed to eat organic
too, but I just do it as much as possible. Most my carbs come from fruit.
You can do modified versions of Paleo where you keep dairy or certain kind
of grains. I've found cutting out wheat and grains to make a huge difference
with my digestive system and blood sugars. I do have Greek yogurt from
time-to-time too. Personally, I don't find this to be a super restrictive
diet, nor that difficult to follow. But it can take time to adjust. It does
require a little food prep for most meals, but it's not a major problem, in
my opinion.

Here at our medical clinic, they are pushing this diet as an anti
inflammatory diet. So if you go see a physiatrist for, say, neck pain, you
get put into classes to learn this diet. I'm having a hard time quite buying
it. I can see cutting back on things but total elimination? Not at my house.

Hi Dave,

As a retired dietitian, I hate any diet that says "no no no no no!" That's
one that will be out the door before you know it! If it doesn't fit your
lifestyle, it won't work, and it's not necessary. If you might like some of
the recipes, try them, and add them to your regular menu. Or you could try
out the diet by having one day a week be vegetarian (not necessarily vegan).
But really, leaving out whole food groups is unnecessary and unsatisfying,
if you ask me. Keep meat portions relatively small, eat your fruits and
veggies, add a little grain and/or potato, and be happy! It's best not to do
things that are wildly different than your normal. Especially when your
diabetes is obviously well-controlled.

Sandi

I have a question -- curious to see what people think ... at the risk of
starting a firestorm.

First, let me say, I have very mild type 2 diabetes, A1C of 6.6.

I just read a book by Dr. Neil Barnard, in which he promotes a low fat diet
as a way to combat type 2 diabetes. He says basically, vegan, no red meat,
no poultry, no fish, no dairy, no animal fats, and no eggs.  I can see how
it might work, but would hate giving up my meat!

Dave
