Re: WD Glucose/Honey Experiment

[Guest guest]

Thanks for this info Michele! My mother has diabetes II and I've been

curious how the Warrior Diet might work for a diabetic. She's mainly been

able to control hers by diet so I imagine this might be worth a try for

her.

Hi Fern, your welcome! I am also type II, but I can control my sugar levels

through avoiding starch and cooked honey. Apparently this is another way of

doing it and I can have some yucca, etc, which is nice. I want to lose some

weight though, so I guess I'll see if that happens while eating some starch.

If not I'll cut it for a bit.

Best Wishes,

Michele

Are you finding that your blood sugar levels are lower on the WD, than in

eating regular meals and avoiding starch and cooked honey?

She's been doing real well with controlling her carb/sugar content, but I

do wonder now if she couldn't bring it down into normal levels by going on

the Warrior Diet.

Thanks!

Yes, they are lower on the WD. I would never have sugar lower than 120-140

after a meal, but it was 90. Also my morning glucose used to be about 90-100

when avoiding starch/cooked honey and it was 76 this morning, after eating

starch with my meal. I was pretty impressed.

It might help her and also give her some more freedom. My starch came from

yucca/taro/plantains though, and not refined carbs or grains(which I'm

allergic to). I don't know if that would make a difference. Maybe some of

the other WD buffs would know.

take care,

Michele

I'm impressed, too. Maybe you should submit your results to Ori. It may

be helpful info for other diabetics.

> It might help her and also give her some more freedom.

I think it would, not only in what she could eat, but in not having to have

so much food with her when she's out and about or traveling, to ward off

low blood sugar.

I do have a question, though. I'm surprised that you're able to eat fruit

all day without any fat or protein with it. The fruit doesn't raise your

blood sugars during the day? What have they been during the day after

you've eaten fruit?

Thanks again,

Fern

[Guest guest]

I'm not sure if I answered this yesterday, but fruit doesn't really affect

my blood sugar, except for bananas, which I have to eat with nuts. Excuse

me if I am repeating myself, I've had very little sleep.

Take care,

Michele

Hi Michele,

No, you didn't answer it before, so thanks for answering it now. I'm

glad to know that about fruit. Will have to do some experimenting ....

I think it is different for everyone. There was a point when I was eating

too many grains when I couldn't put anything seet in my mouth without

getting this terrible sour taste immediately after swallowing. I still don't

know what that was all about, but it went along with high blood sugar. In

general raw fruit is doesn't affect sugar much, though some are said to be

worse than others, and eating the whole fruit rather than juice is

improtant. To be safe, eating with a handful of well chewed nuts or nut

butter will definitely keep things even.

take care,

Michele

Thanks Michele. I'll have to have my mother experiment with the glucose

meter. I was under the impression that all fruit (including raw) raised BS.

Doesn't Mercola advise against a lot of fruit eating, except for berries? I

realize that it does differ from person to person, so I guess we'll have to

experiment to see.

Thanks for your info!
