A friend on twitter (@meandjorge) mentioned that she was making stuffed zucchini and I decided to make my own… … I mean… what a WONDERFUL idea! Zucchini or Zukes as I like to call them are very low carb, only 4 grams of carbs per cup. I was making a big batch of chili to …

Please bear with me during the first part of this post… please? … I am in an ill mood! “Why?”, you ask. November is ‘diabetes awareness month’. Seemingly every literate person on the planet is ‘aware’ of diabetes. It’s in the news, it’s on commercials… how can anyone NOT be aware of diabetes??? This is …
This post originated from an online discussion I engaged in recently, I urge YOU to read this and think about ‘who’s side are you on?” My only reason for participating in nutritional debates or ‘online discussions’? I’m hoping a few lurkers may be persuaded to at least check out a ‘low carb primal’ lifestyle. …
Serving size matters … that is. The American Diabetes Association or as I like to refer to them… American Diabetes Ass., likes to tell everyone that they do not promote a high carb meal plan. Sadly, many diabetics believe them. To some degree the ADA is able to ‘get away with this’ thanks to TINY serving …
I’ve been up to quite a bit of “primal fun” over the last couple of weeks … and I wanted to share it with you. I do some pretty crazy stuff at times… Why do I do it? 1) To test conventional wisdom. So much that we have been taught is wrong. Sadly these errors …
This post is going to be highlighting a major contributor to ‘who I am’. Her online name is, “Dr. BG”. She authors a very informative blog, “Animal Pharm“. I originally found her through Mark’s Sisson’s blog roll… a huge debt I owe Mark in and of itself. IF YOU have benefited from my diabetes …
I truly love the quote in the picture to the right. It can and has applied to many situations … but could not be more true than today…especially as it relates to dietary policy. Read this post and see if you agree …. American Diabetes Association ( and ADA Minion) promotes a diet that …
This post is really just a pictorial view of my time spent at T & D Farms today …. and pictures of the first meal prepared from the bounty. The first meal was a ‘sampler’ of pastured meats! :) T & D Farms is a family farm owned and operated by Todd and Danielle Mauldin …

This post has Pelican videos and additional links regarding past vacations at Wrightsville Beach/Wilmington, NC. Some may be asking … what does pelican videos have to do with diabetes? A LOT! :) It’s further evidence or proof. When I say that I am ‘thriving, not just surviving’ … I want to demonstrate that as much …
I am now… a BAREFOOT RUNNER!!! … argh!!! :) I have been running sprints, jogging and performing exercises barefooted for almost two years. However I never considered myself a ‘barefoot runner’ until last night. I ran 3 miles, on pavement (and cement sidewalks) lastnight Today after running a 5k, I feel comfortable using the term …

The picture to the right was taken yesterday fasted and right before my workout. It’s about 11:00 Am and other than Heavy Cream and Coconut Oil I had not eaten since the prior day. I love fasted workouts, I seem to do my best in a ‘fasted state’. By the way, I am wearing a …

The cuts came from oyster shells and barnacles grown on the rocks of a jetty. It is not a very ‘clean’ environment… to say the least.

1) Typical cow’s milk baby formula increased the incidence of autoantibodies which are strongly linked to Type 1 Diabetes.
2) A hypoallergenic lactose free baby food reduced the frequency of Type 1 Diabetes by 60%, compared to the control group fed cow’s milk based formula.
3) Toxins (AGEs) have been found in baby formula, toxins that can increase the risk of diabetes and other diseases.

Our livers produce cholesterol, it’s that important Real fats, including saturated fats give our body the energy it needs to thrive The medical industry including doctors, nutritionists and diabetes educators …
Remember, fatty meats are the KEY to successfully managing diabetes! Beef brisket is diabetes friendly, with all of that fat! So tasty and so filling.
I imagine it’s like that for millions of other diabetics who are still addicted to sugar and carbs, all it takes is a one 3rd party verification … a doctor, etc. Diabetes lesson learned.
