We’ve discovered how to substitute carb-free protein powder for flour! Recipes made in this exciting new way are delicious, & so high in nutrients they can be Grab ‘n Run meal replacements!
Do you have diabetes and long for worry-free food? Tired of all the carb-counting, or just want to lose weight more easily? Here are three surprises . . .
-
1. We’ve gotten rid of flour, the major source of carbohydrates in food. For flour recipes we substitute white, fluffy protein powder, which has no carbs, and keeps you feeling full and stabilized hours longer than any carb; also makes it easier to stick to a diet if weight loss is your goal. We also use super healthy milled flaxseed which has more fiber than whole grains, no absorbable carbs, and can substitute for unhealthy butter and margarine in baking. Milled flaxseed also benefits heart health, insulin regulation, and insulin resistance. -
2. We don’t use sugar in any of its sneaky, unsuspected forms, which means no honey, dried fruit, molasses, brown sugar, sugar alcohols, or agave. “Natural” or “organic” sugar is still sugar. Your body doesn’t know the difference.
Flour and sugar gone? Kicked out completely? Yes, it’s possible. And suddenly weight loss, avoiding prediabetes, and controlling both type 1 & type 2 diabetes become a lot easier.

Lose weight, yummy diabetes recipes, plus 6 week eating plan to control diabetes better than ever.
Heart health too
What is also critical about this eating plan, as opposed to others, is its avoidance of saturated fat and cholesterol, including trendy “grass fed” red meat. (A classier kind of saturated fat?)
This is especially important because diabetes patients are more than twice as vulnerable as the general population to cardiovascular complications, such as heart disease, stroke, Peripheral Artery Disease (leg amputation), Retinal Disease (blindness), Nerve Disease (nerve damage and loss of sensation in limbs), and – rarely -- CKD (chronic kidney disease.). All of these cardiovascular complications are due to arterial narrowing caused by saturated fat and cholesterol deposits, and then clots, blocking arteries inflamed and damaged by fat particles.
This is the crucial point that many diabetic eating plans miss.
(See: Women and Heart Disease)
In their efforts to stay low carb, they anticipate people’s hunger, so they include large amounts of animal and dairy saturated fat and cholesterol. Diabetes sufferers may at first be happy with the results. They get their blood sugar down and may even lose weight.
But blocked, gunked-up arteries are a dangerous price to pay.
We do use Mediterranean-healthy olive and canola oil, both high in MUFAs and PUFAs -- mono- and poly-unsaturated fats which improve arterial health.
We will also show you how to remove cholesterol from fish and chicken. Did you know that fish, chicken, and beef all contain the same amount of cholesterol –70 milligrams per four-ounce serving? What fish and chicken don’t have is saturated fat.
