Some individuals contend solely with diabetes, while others grapple with obesity. Nowadays, a significant portion of the population faces the dual challenge of both obesity and diabetes. These coexisting conditions often leave individuals perplexed about which ailment to address first. Today, I will introduce a dietary plan capable of addressing both diabetes and high blood pressure simultaneously – the nut meal diet.
By following the regimen I am about to outline, those currently relying on one or two tablets to manage diabetes can potentially discontinue their medication entirely. Even individuals administering 20 to 30 units of insulin daily may find themselves able to cease its use within 30 days. In some cases, individuals may even eliminate the need for insulin within as little as 20 days. Now, let’s delve into the nut meal diet plan.
Typically, diabetics begin their day with a morning ritual that may include lemon honey water, coffee, regular tea, or herbal tea before embarking on their exercise routine. However, I propose a slight alteration to this routine – skip the consumption of any food or beverage and engage in your exercise regimen after drinking only water. This practice carries no adverse effects and can yield positive results. Engage in yoga, walking, exercise, or jogging after hydrating with water.
Approximately two hours later, consume 1.5 liters of water before heading to the office. After a second bowel movement and a refreshing bath, refrain from eating until 10 AM. If you wish to enjoy some juice, do so between 9:30 and 10 AM. Opt for vegetable juice around 10 AM. To prepare the juice, blend one carrot, two tomatoes, one cucumber, bottle gourd, and ash gourd. Additionally, include mint and coriander leaves, and if you desire, a small piece of beetroot (as it does not significantly raise blood sugar levels). Filter the juice, add 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of honey, and incorporate some lemon juice. Importantly, consume the juice slowly over a period of 10 to 15 minutes, allowing saliva to mix with the juice. This slow consumption stimulates the production of the GLP-1 enzyme, which plays a role in initiating insulin production.
Lunch should be consumed approximately one hour after drinking the juice. For this meal, you won’t need flatbreads or curries. Instead, prepare the following: soak cowpeas, Bengal gram, soybeans, and kidney beans overnight. By the time you are ready to cook around 8 AM, these pulses will have soaked for approximately 12 hours. After rinsing the pulses in water, add green peas to the mix. For enhanced flavor, include raw groundnuts readily available in the market. You will be combining six different varieties of pulses.
To this mixture, add fenugreek leaves, spinach, chopped carrots, beans, and beetroot, as well as some capsicum and spring onions. Spice things up with six green chilies. To cook, employ a glass of coconut milk instead of water. The use of coconut milk does not significantly impact blood sugar levels. In conjunction with coconut milk, incorporate a glass of tomato juice. This mixture serves as a flavorful substitute for water in the cooking process. Cook all the vegetables and pulses together in a pressure cooker.
Once cooked, prepare a tempering using lactoderm or butter, adding a dash of ginger, garlic, cumin, mustard, and chaat masala powder. Combine the tempering with the cooked ingredients to enhance the flavor. Optionally, you can include onions in the tempering. As a final touch, garnish with some coriander leaves. Allow the cooked mixture to simmer in the tempering for an additional 5 minutes to reduce excess water content. Interestingly, there’s no need to add salt to this dish, as it is already naturally delicious. However, if you find it challenging to consume salt-free food, you may sprinkle a bit of rock salt on the tempering or add it while eating. Ideally, this dish should be enjoyed without salt.
Serve the prepared meal in a bowl, adding a dash of lemon juice and a sprinkle of flaxseed spice mix powder. Alternatively, you can complement the dish with any other spice mix powder of your choice. For added variety, you can also pair it with yogurt mixed with chopped onions and chilies. There’s no need for rice, curry, or flatbreads; the nut meal itself constitutes a complete and wholesome meal.
Flax seeds and sesame spice mix powder enhance the nutritional content, providing calcium and protein, while containing minimal amounts of fat and carbohydrates. This meal proves highly beneficial for diabetics. Consume it between 11:30 AM and 12:15 PM, taking your time to chew each portion thoroughly, approximately 25 to 30 times. Slow and deliberate chewing aids in the rapid release of the GLP-1 enzyme, further promoting insulin production.
Up until 4 PM, drink a glass of water at regular intervals. At 4 PM, consider enjoying a glass of coconut water or sweet lemon juice. Between 5 PM and 6 PM, consume sprouts or fruits like guava, pomegranate, or jujube. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can opt for dry nuts such as almonds, pistachios, and walnuts. Soak these dry nuts in the morning and consume them in the evening. By following this dietary regimen of four types of soaked dry nuts and some fruits, medication may no longer be necessary.
Fruits typically contain only 7 to 8% carbohydrates, making them an excellent choice for diabetics. If fruits and nuts prove cost-prohibitive, you can opt for sprouts alone. Alternatively, you may include watermelon seeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds, according to your preferences. If you wish to exclude sprouts, consuming fruits and these nuts should suffice.
Gradually reduce your medication dose before lunch and dinner as you adhere to this diet plan. When you consume no other food, the body starts to tap into its reserved glucose stores. Remember to chew your dinner for 45 minutes to an hour, as this practice helps lower blood sugar levels and gradually mitigates diabetes. To monitor your progress, check your blood sugar levels every four days and adjust your medication accordingly. Within 10 to 20 days, your diabetes may return to normal, as confirmed by your healthcare provider. For further assurance, consult with your doctor without mentioning this specific diet regimen. I encourage you to give the nut meal diet a try.
