Invest In a Wok Folks
by Lisa T.
If you use Amazon it will come to your door. Then buy sesame oil, bok choy, and red pepper flakes at the grocery store just for starters. Portabella mushrooms are also full of potassium and of course red potatoes. I eat these alone or with melted cheese. So yummy and my blood sugar and weight plummet. Protein and complex carbs are great for us. Nuts are FULL of nutrients but also fat calories so keep it to 1/4 cup a […]

by Lisa T.
They have 1200mg of potassium in one cup and 58 carb grams, so eat one or two small ones, not a whole cup. But if you go on the diabetes websites they preach sweet potato which are good too but not as good. They have 768 mg of potassium per cup and 58 carb grams.

Your Body Needs Electrolytes; Sodium, Potassium, and Water.
by Lisa T.
But what happens is most people don’t get 4700mg of Potassium, 1800mg of Sodium, an essential mineral, and half of their body weight in ounces of water daily. Because they don’t get their electrolytes that fuel their electrons, they eat much sugar intead and have intense sugar cravings. Sugar isn’t going to solve your cellular energy problem. It’s just going to make you high and superficially happy for about 15 minutes. Been there done that. I was a sugar addict […]

Why Isn’t Sugar an Electrolyte?
by Lisa T.
It is a minor one. It feels like one when you eat it! I don’t eat it any more though and my brain is just not as happy. 😔 No sugar for me. I was addicted to it so I’m on the wagon and sober.

However, glucose (a simple sugar that comes from food and drinks) does help with the absorption of electrolytes and makes it easier for them to do their various jobs. […]

Watch Your Blood Sugar if You Use Protein Powders

I’m on a super healthy whole food way of life to keep my blood sugar normal, which it has been for three months, between 95 and 108. I had one of these Ka’Chava shakes yesterday and this morning my blood sugar was 177!! I feel fine and I know it […]
