Taking Baby Steps to Better Health

I was out working with my friend and noticed that my eyesight was a little fuzzy. Mentioned it to him and said "I guess I need to get to the doctor and get checked out." Well, my brother was getting married and the family was in town plus I was preparing to move so I decided to wait until after all these tasks were complete.

The day after my brother got married I had a stroke. At the emergency room I was also found to have out of control diabetes. Next day the doctor put me on blood sugar pills and other drugs. I had a decision to make. Did I want to beat this problem or just let it get worse?

My doctor didn?t have any diet change advice for me, but I needed it. Decision # 1 - If I?m going to get better I cannot depend on him to do it. It is up to me to learn what needs changing. After some searching found some resources online to help, one of which was Dr. Barry Sear?s books.

I learned that my eating habits were all wrong.

Decision # 2 I had to change my habits. Let me share a few simple changes that helped me and may help anyone. The government has found that most of us eat too few fruits and vegetables. One way I?ve found to catch up on my missing fruits is by drinking a liquid plant and fruit nutritional drink daily.

Here are a few helpful steps to better eating:

? Stock up on fruits, veggies, raw unsalted nuts and seeds. Now when you have a hankering to reach for potato chips or crackers reach for a handful of nuts, celery, cherries, an apple or orange. To eat foods that are good for you, you must have them handy.

? Limit your portion sizes of meat to about half what they want to feed you at the steakhouse. We found that 4 ounces was just fine with us after we learned to eat less.

? Replace the french fries with a cup of fruit or a sweet potato without the sugar, when available.

? Give up the cow milk unless you are a baby cow. Almond or rice milk taste pretty good if you have to wet something down. You certainly don?t need all that excess protein.

? Steer clear of the artificial sweeteners. I think they're dangerous.

? Prepackaged cereals are a problem as they are full of sugar and added synthetic vitamins to make them appear to be healthy. The least processed cereals like steel cut oats are much healthier. Learn to read food labels.

? Wean yourself off the soft drinks. You don?t need all the sugar and all that phosphorous could be causing bone loss by flushing calcium out of your bones.

Learn not to eat late at night. Foods eaten right before bedtime can be stored away as fat. A few nuts and a little water can banish any late night hunger urges.

What have been my results? I am no longer on diabetes medication and I?m 58 pounds lighter than a few years ago. Learn more on my web sites.
