programme to cure diabetes in pune
The program is by Dr. Tripathi and is based on Dr. Neal Barnard and Dr. Joel Fuhrman. All the information is available on Youtube and also recipes. Dr. Tripathi's program is useful as an introduction to it. It is also tweaked for Indian tastes. I have attended it and the biggest take away for me was the vegetable smoothie in the morning which really pumped up the day. So while everything is free this program may be helpful in getting all the information in a capsule and also interacting with people in similar circumstances.
I tried being Vegan for 3 months and refrained from dairy. However that really limited the options and I missed it strongly. While I agree that dairy in India is full of pesticides and antibiotics, it is very difficult not to eat curd. After 3 months of strictly no dairy I reintroduced it to my diet and found no significant difference in the blood sugar. All the above mentioned doctors have predicted dire consequences if dairy is eaten, which I found highly exaggerated. I get no such spikes in blood sugar after a glass of milk and the BS does not budge after eating curd. There is curd in kadhi which I find positively beneficial.
I have finally concluded that I shall continue with the nutrient dense smoothie and lots of salads, but will not be a vegan. I will eat dairy moderately and also eggs and fish and chicken, but much more moderately than before. Like 10 to 12 eggs a month, instead of the 60 I used to have.
Another recipe that I found useful is the dosa that I make at home from different dals and beans. It is much better for BS than eating grains like wheat or jowari.
Madhav, just search for Dr. Tripathi for the program in Pune.
