Lunch


Lunch

It is better to have most of the day's calories in the middle of
the day than at the end. Arrange for dinner at noon if possible.

Dinner
Choose any one.
1. Green beans with potatoes, meat dish, cabbage apple salad,
water with lemon juice and honey, 1 cup hot milk. Water.
Fresh green beans, especially fava beans contain a substance
that is described in old herbal literature to be especially
beneficial to diabetics. Don't overcook them—it
might harm this substance.
For the same reason, don't use canned green beans. If
“fresh” isn't possible, choose “frozen” but rinse the
chemicals off before cooking. Potatoes (not overcooked),
peeled to make sure there are no blemishes (contain mold
and pesticide) can be cooked with the beans. Cook with
onions and oregano for flavoring. Add fresh chopped
parsley to the sauce or butter for both green beans and
potatoes. Fresh parsley has special herbal goodness (high
magnesium, high potassium, diuretic.)
The meat dish should be overdone. “Fast food” is
plopped from the freezer into the boiling grease which
browns the outside nicely but can easily leave the inside
undercooked. Meat must never be “rare.” There should be
no redness near bones! Canned meat is safe from parasites
but may have smoke flavoring added (contains benzopyrene)
or nitrates. Avoid these chemicals. Avoid MSG too.
Whenever a meat dish is not accepted, substitute sardines.
Let them choose from a display of six kinds. Purchase the
flip-top cans to avoid eating metal grindings from the can
opening process.
Cabbage for salad should be chopped fine enough to be
digestible. Add finely chopped apples (peeled) and a few
apple seeds and whipping cream for the dressing.


Sweet things are reserved for dessert. Since a diabetic's
tissues are not absorbing sugar, they crave it more and
more. As the diabetes improves they crave it less. For dessert,
serve 1 tbs. of honey to satisfy this craving without
endangering their blood sugar regulation. It can be used in
the hot milk or in other ways. Undercooking the vegetables
also helps slow down the sugar release. Never serve
mashed potatoes for this reason.
The drinking water should always have a little vitamin C,
lemon juice or vinegar added, and 1 tsp. honey if desired.
2. Asparagus, potato, raw salad, fowl dish, fruit, water with
vinegar and honey, 1 cup hot milk.
The asparagus can be fresh or canned. Bake the potato:
not in aluminum foil, not baked until fluffy. Don't let the
skin be eaten. Use genuine butter, only, or a homemade sour
cream dressing (see Recipes). Fresh chopped chives may
be added but no regular sour cream since this is very high
in tyramine, a brain toxin.
The raw salad should be chopped small enough to be
edible by dentures. Use homemade salad dressing with a
preference for oil and vinegar styles.
The fowl dish should be very well done, never “fast
food”.
For dessert, fresh fruit chunks dipped in a homemade
honey sauce (honey, water and cinnamon). Less sweets are
consumed if you dip the fruit rather than pour the sauce
over. Limit the total to 1 tbs. honey. Don't serve grapes or
strawberries due to the intense mold problem.
3. Soup, sandwich, fruit, hot milk, water.
Soup should be homemade from scratch. Add bones and 1
tbs. vinegar (white distilled) or a tomato to the kettle to
ensure some calcium leaches out of the bones. A fish
chowder serves this purpose very well, too.

The sandwich has lettuce, real butter, and whatever else
tastes good (no cheese, bacon bits or condiments). The
bread is wheat-free, corn-free, stored in freezer. Homemade
salad dressing can be added.
The fruit may be chopped with whipping cream, cinnamon
and honey sauce (not more than 1 tbs. honey).
The water may be plain if there was vinegar in the soup.
4. Fish, green beans, potatoes, other greens, fruit, hot milk,
water.
Fried or baked fish is served with lemon or lime. Green
beans are served with a cheese sauce so a lot will be eaten.
(Cheese sauce: add milk, olive oil to a block of cheese.
Melt and cook at least 10 seconds.) Serve au gratin potatoes
or scalloped potatoes or any kind of potatoes that will
be enjoyed. The extra greens can be beet greens, collards,
mustard greens or spinach served with a favorite dressing
to make sure it's eaten. (No croutons or bacon bits, though.)
Never serve dessert if the plate has not been cleared.
Your loved one isn't hungry enough. If appetite is very
poor, sweets will only worsen the problem. Try to change
the menu to stimulate the appetite. Acid foods stimulate;
spices and B-vitamins (especially B1) stimulate; hot foods
stimulate. Much appetite is controlled by the liver and
brain. Toxins at either location (especially food-derived
toxins) tell the body to stop eating. Suspect food molds
first, bacteria and chemical additives next.
5. Asparagus, meat dish, white rice (brown rice contains
mold), coleslaw, milk, water, ice cream.
A hot meat dish (no pasta, no wheat flour, no regular
gravy) can be fried, cooked or baked, but not grilled. Asparagus
is fresh, frozen or canned. Rinse if frozen. Fix it
differently than last time. Season rice with parsley and
minimal salt and pure herbs like thyme; no MSG or mixed

seasoning, make butter sauce. Dessert is homemade ice
cream (see Recipes).
6. Fish or seafood hot dish. Green peas or peas and onions.
Peeled sweet potato with butter (not canned). May switch
sweet potato with rice on asparagus day. Sliced tomatoes
or cucumber or other raw vegetables with or without
dressing. Milk, 1 tbs. honey (can be used on sweet potato).
7. Chili or stew with unlimited rice-bread and butter. If chili
produces gas, stay away from it. Serve no canned varieties.
Grated carrot salad with stewed raisins added and heavy
cream. Milk, water as usual. Blueberry pie, sweet potato
pie, custard pie.
If more bread is requested, provide a wheat-free, corn-free
variety; but limit bread eating to “after main dish” eating. If not
enough milk is drunk: make custard pudding or rice pudding so
the daily amount (3 cups) is consumed.
Supper
1. Tuna with salad dressing or tuna salad (no pasta). Nonwheat
raisin bread (from natural foods store) and butter.
Milk, water.
2. Custard, cooked greens, baked potato. Rice-bread and
butter. Herb tea with milk added (single herb only, not
mixed herbs).
3. Vegetable soup, homemade, from scratch. Leftover meat
sandwich with rice-bread (no deli or cold cuts or luncheon
meat). Milk, water.
4. Baked squash with butter, rice pudding with cinnamon,
raisins, and honey. Canned salmon or sardines with wheat
free, corn free bread. Milk, water.
5. Chili or stew leftovers with wheat free, corn free bread.
Custard pudding sweetened with honey, and nutmeg/
cinnamon mix. Milk, water.

6. Sardines and rice bread or other wheat free, corn free
bread. Homemade tomato juice with celery, strained. Milk,
plain water. Pie a la mode (homemade pumpkin or squash
pie and homemade ice cream).
7. Potato salad. Leftover meat dish and beans, stewed tomatoes,
squash. Baked apple with cinnamon, cream and honey.
Milk, water.
Many diabetics lose 50 points (mg/DL) of blood sugar in a
few days on this diet. This is why: there is less bread than a diabetic
would prefer. There is very little cheese (it must always be
boiled in a sauce to sterilize). There is no fruit or vegetable juice
except homemade, and not much of that because it crowds out
milk and water. If your elderly loved one can't eat all this, make
sure there are no snacks consumed between meals that are forbidden.
There is no pasta anywhere. Pasta is mold-ridden. Even after
cooking, it may be toxic. There is no wheat or corn bread. The
menu is heavy on green beans and asparagus and cinnamon. If by
chance, your elderly person hates these and starves themselves to
get your sympathy, add a lot more potatoes and rice (never
brown) to raise calories.
There is no sweetening other than honey (5 kinds). There are
no syrups or sugars. Honey is self limiting—the taste for it is all
gone after 1 tbs. Not so for other sugars. The heavy use of cream
and butter is offset by no deep fat fried food and little cheese.
Keep in mind that this diet may reduce the need for insulin
almost immediately. You may have to cut it in half! But how
would you know this? The morning blood sugar test is essential
to keep track of changing circumstances. Don't neglect it. Be
careful not to use rubbing alcohol when making the finger stick
(use vodka or grain alcohol). Your elderly person will feel it is
all worthwhile (doing without coffee or pie) if one less insulin
shot is needed or if they can go back on tablets instead of insu

lin. Or even just the knowledge they are staying well controlled
and will never have to take insulin shots. Remember to give
yourself the credit for a fine accomplishment when your loved
one's diabetes improves.
