Are you diabetic? Even borderline diabetic? Did you notice that on the days you don’t eat rice and wheat your blood sugar level is stable? What does this tell you? Rice is not for you! Stop eating it now and forever. Just because you are Filipino does not mean you have to eat rice. I’m a Filipino and I don’t eat rice. And as a parent I’m weaning my children from eating rice. Rice and most other high carb foods can be viewed as junk food.
It is the sugar highs, the hyper glycemic times that cause disease, it is those hyper glycemic times that cause tooth decay. Notice how many Filipino children have tooth decay. And into their 20s, Filipinos have lost some teeth due to decay. Brisk business for dentists, but it does not have to be this way.
Look at a Filipino party full of carbohydrate insanity:
- pancit, noodles, pasta, spaghetti, lasagna, macaroni
- bread, cake
- ice cream
- kakanins from puto, kutchinta, sapin sapin
- rice
- halo halo, leche flan
- corn
- the sweetest fruits… yellow mangoes are in season…
- washed down with softdrinks
- and brown and white sugar for “taste”
- artificial sweeteners for those who want less sugar (insanity with chemicals)
Oh it would be normal for one to taste them all. I know I used to do this insanity.
The bottom line for diabetics is all of this is harmful for your health and you know it, you can measure it… so stop eating it… for the rest of your life!
The important foods are raw meat, raw fat (rare will do for beginners) and for some who like vegetables you can juice vegetables or cook vegetables… but not nightshades.
Raw fat… fat will be your “RICE”. My kids know this when they have rare steaks.
Raw fat is hydrating, lubricating, cleansing, steady energy giving… healing.
Whatever medical BS you hear about fat causing heart disease is a bunch of B.S. and has no place in scientific discussion. They just want to sell you cholesterol lowering drugs! Mega multi-billion dollar industry.
And without all the carb junk you will be sexy, fit and healthy. Why? This is the way humans are. We are supposed to look good and trim.
Funny when in a reunion of some old class mates see me and say “You’re too thin!!!” I just keep to myself… “Compared to who? You?” enter a whole troop of obese people. FYI, I didn’t invent these BMI scales, I have a BMI of 21, smack in the middle of NORMAL. So this means THEIR perception of NORMAL has been corrupted.
The only possible reason you would want to eat a lot of carbs is if you are a competitive athlete or a full time laborer. Are you?
