diabetes and overweight are concerns for so many people at the start of their detox, this step is also necessary to take control of these modern epidemic conditions.
Carb management is easier than it sounds once grains have been eliminated, even for people who begin this process with a sweet tooth. Recall that ridding your life of grain-derived opiates reduces appetite and reawakens taste, including heightening sensitivity to sweetness. The desire for sweet snacks diminishes or disappears, and goodies you formerly thought were irresistible will taste sickeningly sweet. Addiction to milk chocolate, gummy candy, or other junk indulgences will go the way of padded shoulders and harem pants. Good riddance.
We also do not use the misleading fiction of the glycemic index or glycemic load. (See â The Fairy Tale of Glycemic Index â.) Choosing low-glycemic index foods, for instance, will trigger blood sugar and insulin to high levels, cause weight gain, and prevent the health benefits of this lifestyleâvirtually no different than high-glycemic index foods. Donât fall for the health and weight booby-trap of glycemic index.
Your efforts to manage carbohydrates will limit rises in blood sugar. Contrary to conventional advice from most doctors (who typically advise that blood sugars should not exceed 200 mg/dL after a meal, a level associated with astounding levels of weight gain and health impairment), adhering to our 15 g net carb cutoff keeps blood sugars at or below 100 mg/dL at all times, including blood sugar after eating a meal. In other words, we aim to never allow blood sugar to rise over the level present prior to the meal.
If you have diabetes or prediabetes and start with higher-than-normal blood sugars, this approach will prevent additional rises in blood sugar with meals and allow even future fasting blood sugars to drop over time. We therefore work to keep blood sugars at healthy levels when you rise in the morning; before and after breakfast, lunch, and dinner; before bedtime; when you wear open-toed shoes, high heels, or go barefoot; as well as all other times of the day.
By avoiding spikes in blood sugar, insulin release is minimally triggered. Insulin is the root of much dietary and metabolic evil; it is a hormone that causes weight gain and blocks mobilization of stored fat from fat cells. Not triggering insulin allows the opposite to occur: mobilization of fat and weight loss from fat cells. Over time, insulin resistance is reduced, allowing weight loss to progress further. Along with it, inflammation, fatty liver, blood pressure, high triglycerides, inappropriate questions about your babyâs due date, and other distortions all strike a retreat.
It is important that, as part of your carbohydrate management effort, you do not limit fats or oils. In the Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox, there are no limits on fat or oil intake, provided you choose your sources wisely. It means you should enjoy the fat on meats, just like your grandparents did. Donât buy meats lean; buy fatty cuts. Donât trim the fat off beef, pork, lamb, or poultry; eat it. Eat dark poultry meat, as well as white. In addition:
⢠Save fats from cooking beef, pork, and bacon in a container and refrigerate to use as cooking oil.
⢠Save the bones (or buy them from a butcher) to make soup or stock and donât skim off the fat when it cools.
⢠Consider enjoying bone marrow.
⢠Donât limit egg consumption. Have a three-egg omelet, for instance, with lots of extra-virgin olive oil, pesto, or olive oilâsoaked sun-dried tomatoes.
⢠Use the oils listed above generously in every dish possible.
