Supertraining

Chad,

Okay, fair enough.  I think he needs some quality oils though.

PS - C'mon, let the man have a pork chop and/or some shellfish sometime after 
he loses that gut...  what's wrong with that?  :-)

Miguel,

Everybody should eat like that indefinitely. But I
did forgot to mention that eating raw unsalted nuts
and seeds is good for him as well, but not peanuts
(they are a legume, not a nut). Eating some starches,
such as oatmeal and whole grain breads is good for us
too, but considering he is diabetic he needs to purge
nearly all starches from his diet for two to three
weeks and then slowly reintroduce the high fiber
grains such as those previously mentioned. Edwin is
probably addicted to simple sugar like the majority of
people in the world, so cutting that out of his diet
won't be easy. There is quite a few books written on
how to kick the sugar addiction.

Two things that people tend to not understand is that
we do not need sugar or table salt in our diets; or at
least not the way most people look at them. We need
carbohydrates which are converted to glucose (sugar)
in the body, but fruits and vegatables are
carbohydrates (people tend to forget this). And we
get lots of sodium from consuming these foods as well
without having to add sodium-cloride (table salt) to
our diets. If you eat like this and exercise
regularly you won't need to worry about diabetes or
high blood pressure, and many other disease issues as
well.

If you really want to get your nutrient bang for your
buck from fruits and veggies though, you will eat them
raw and ripe and not heat them. Juicing using a
masticating and/or press juicer is great too. Edwin
still needs to be aware of how much food he is
consuming and not over eat (especially the meats) help
him reduce his weight a bit. Over eating apples,
carrots, and lettuce is quite hard for most people so
they are great foods to stick with.
