Water Fast
For decades ‘nutritional science’ has been little more than the marketing arm for Big Food and Big Pharma. It’s time for true science to rule the day and to remove Big Food and Big Pharma’s influence.

Does this mean that coconut oil is a better fat compared to butter for reducing elevated blood sugars?
That’s what my current experiment is out to determine.
I have recommended water only fasting, intermittent fasting and fat fasts for years. This is especially true if you experience a weight loss stall or a stall in reducing blood sugar levels into normal ranges.
I am reminded of my personal independence, the independence from drugs and insulin. I want to talk about not only my ‘freedoms from’ but also my ‘freedoms to’.
That’s ironic when you think about it. Almost all diabetics have elevated blood sugars (above non-diabetic normal blood sugars) and I had to end an experiment due to low blood sugars.
There is a lesson there, if you are paying attention.
I love the way I eat.
I love the way I play.
I love the way I live!
I am NEVER going back to the way I use to eat and live… NEVER!
Did you hear? The national dietitians admit they were wrong and caused untold suffering to millions with harmful dietary advice!
You didn’t hear that? Well, they didn’t exactly say those words…
People have been critical of me posting against Fung in “Fung I”. I have been accused
This brief post provides the reason why? … ‘because He is HARMING people’.
If your mother, brother, sister or daughter was receiving such harmful advice from a ‘diabetes educator’ … we would all be ranting about the ridiculous advice. And I am now.
This post is a critique of the advice I have read and heard by a so called ‘low carb diabetes expert’, Jason Fung. I’m writing this post to alert people to the fallacies, half-truths and potentially harmful advice Jason Fung has given. Fung wrongly demonizes exogenous (injected) insulin Fung trivializes elevated blood sugar levels People …
I was once an obese, drug and insulin dependent diabetic.
Now I am THRIVING and attempting to live life at it’s fullest… on a ‘low carb paleo’ style meal plan and lifestyle.
Blood sugars are THE single most important health number for diabetics, IF you eat like me… mainly fatty meats, leafy green vegetables, eggs, coconut oil and butter…
So, please, now is your golden opportunity to realize that overstretching your rubber band WILL make it break. You, only YOU, have the power to PREVENT the end-result diagnosis of diabetes.
Potatoes, rice, whole grains, legumes… yep, this is high carb alright.
High carb is not dead.. it’s alive and well at Joslin’s.
I won my case against the NC Board of Dietetics and Nutrition!!! Thanks to IJ and all of YOU!
I can say what I want … and I am UNLEASHED! :)
Ten years ago I was an obese, miserable, chronically sick … Big Food, Big Pharma and Medical Industry Cash Cow.
Today … I am in great health, normal weight, normal blood pressure and I am successfully managing my diabetes!
TODAY I THRIVE!!! … and not just survive.
I live very much like a non-diabetic ….
I THRIVE and not ‘just’ survive.
JOIN ME!!! … won’t you? :)
Since I began taking the fibers and probiotics on 12/11/2014 my overnight fasting blood sugars have averaged 75 mg/dl.
My only numbers above 80 this year were an 82 and 83 on the 2nd and 3rd of January. :) :)
This post is largely a pictorial of this past Christmas weekend spent at Wrightsville Beach, NC … just outside of Wilmington. Pictures of sunrises, blood sugars and beach… and thanks to my father for the trip! :)
I will give two short story summaries. Conversations I had with a few people that I tried to help.
In their stupidity, North Carolina’s State Board of DIEtetic and Nutrition decided that I was in violation of state law when I actually helped people control their blood sugars.
