A Good CR Diet Also Defeats Diabetes [Was -- CR and Diabetes]

[Guest guest]

Hello and ALL:

has the answer! She declares (below) that a diet

centered entirely on lowest glycemic veggies, with some

lean protein and some healthy fat, is the diet that works.

Although a nutrition PhD helps, lofty credentials are

not needed. You don't even need to follow the diet!

Simply knowing about the diet -- that is enough to help

you make better food choices -- even if imperfect!

Who has a perfect CR diet? Nobody! Let the basic

principles guide you, and do the best you can!

Listen to Dr. Barry Sears, who designed the " Zone Diet "

with the goal of using nutrition to control diabetes,

and as a practical method to practice CR. Sears discusses

both diabetes and CR in his books and on his audios.

Listen to other authorities who have posted for years

about CR ( Rae, Dean Pomerleau, Tikfanti...).

Eat lowest glycemic veggies, with some lean protein and

healthy fat, and you do great CR. It can't fail!

How much of each? The Sears " Zone Diet " audio answers that.

Hungry? Never. It is impossible to eat all the food.

That is the biggest surprise on the 2-cassette audio series.

You can't eat too much -- not if you choose the correct

foods to eat. And you can't possibly be hungry either,

since it is impossible to eat all the food.

Example: Sprouts have approx 40 Cal/100 g. You have to eat

1 kg (2.2 lbs) to get 400 calories. I can barely

eat 1 kg of sprouts, even though I eat only once

a day!

If you choose the best foods and eat right, it's impossible

to eat too much. You can't be hungry. The food literally

will not all fit into the size of your stomach.

Sears announced this fact clearly as a happy surprise

about hunger control on his audio cassettes. And he was

quite delighted to make the statement, as can be heard

when he declares it on the audio program!

So here is the CR solution: Eat a Dean Pomerleau sprout diet,

and you can't be hungry, and you can't eat too much.
