Diabetic Trying to Lose Weight
I joined to lose weight as a diabetic (keeping my sugar in line without medication). I also have a hiatial hernia and ulcers. I'd like to lose 5 pounds soon. Hope this diet helps. I thought we were going to be able to get diets based on our nutritional type? I've read Dr. Mercola's book and believe that I am a protein type.

Marcella,
We do have many recipes that feature meat (preferably organic and grass-fed, of course), but if you feel there are not enough for you, please feel free to add some meat as you see fit. This is a perfectly acceptable way to alter the program if it is essential for you to feel well. And as it gets colder, the menus will feature heartier foods, as well.
Dr. Winnie Abramson
As I mentioned previously, we are in process of adding metabolic/nutritional typing modifiers to many of the menus. Consider the menus as written to be ideal for Mixed Types, and if you're a Protein or Carb type, look for PT or CT after the recipe for additional information. If you are unfamiliar with or uninterested in metabolic typing, go ahead and ignore the modifiers. Hope this helps,

Marcie,
We introduce metabolic typing a few weeks in to the program (week 5), not at the beginning. We do this because we believe very strongly that identifying and eliminating food sensitivities and getting on a a balanced whole foods diet need to come before metabolic typing, as it is an advanced concept for most people. That being said, we are in the process of updating our menus to reflect the different nutritional needs of the different metabolic types, for those who are already familiar with their type and feel they need this information from the beginning.

I have a taco soup that features burger that I eat often as a diabetic. It will lower my sugar. I hope you will have some meat soups for protein types. It will be getting colder in our area and salads and fruits just don't satisfy me.
