Some people who have moved over to a vegetarian diet are convinced that it has been responsible for curing their diabetes but can this really be the case or is there something else at work here?

Diet is a very important factor when it comes to diabetes but here we are normally talking principally about controlling the level of sugar in the bloodstream and so we are looking at changes to our dietary habits which control our intake of sugar. So can a vegetarian diet help in this respect?

Vegetarians fall into three categories - vegans, lacto-vegetarians and lacto-ovo vegetarians. Vegans eat no animal products, including products derived from animals such as eggs and milk, and their diet is confined solely to plant-based foods. Lacto-vegetarians add milk and some milk based products to an otherwise plant-based diet, but exclude eggs. Finally, lacto-ovo-vegetarians add milk, milk based products such as cheese and yogurt and eggs to a plant-based diet.

In all of these cases, because the diet is essentially centered on fruit, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds and possibly some dairy products, it is essentially a low cholesterol, low fat, high fiber diet and tends, by its very nature, to reduce sugar intake and so assist with the control of diabetes.

However, in many people who convert to a vegetarian diet there is something else hard at work in combating diabetes.

The substantial rise in diabetes, especially in the West, is due in no small measure to the fact that we are gaining weight at an alarming rate and that obesity has now reached epidemic proportions in many countries, with the United States leading the field. Weight gain is a major risk factor for diabetes and many people are developing the disease for no other reason than the fact that they are gaining weight.

The solution of course, in the first instance and before the problem gets out of hand, is simply to go on a diet, start taking some exercise and lose weight and what could be better for accomplishing this than a low cholesterol, low fat, low sugar, high fiber vegetarian diet.

So, returning to our original question - can you cure your diabetes by becoming a vegetarian? - the simple answer is yes but it is not the diet itself which will cure your diabetes, but the fact that it can both help you to control your sugar intake and lose weight which is doing the trick. To this end it is a change in diet which is the answer and, while this could be to a vegetarian diet, this does not have to be the case.

If your goals is to lose weight, fit into that smaller pair of jeans or lose those last 5 pounds then this information is exactly what you have been looking for.

You see there are three patterns that keep people form living happily in their desired weight Fanatical Dieting, Emotional Eating and Conditioning.

FANATICAL DIETING

Just about every diet that is or has ever been on the market, has calorie guides, menus, and what not to eat food lists. Basically the plan of how you are going to DIET.

Let me make it quite clear from the on-set

A diet is a program set out to have control over what, where, when or how much you eat.

Did you know that scientific research shows 90% of people who attempt to lose weight FAIL? Just in case you missed that information, 90% of people fail at their attempt to lose weight.

All that diets have taught the 90% is how to get FAT and feel like a failure! My suggestion to the masses who are FANATIC DIETERS forget about dieting, FOREVER! The more you diet and fail the more convinced that you will never lose weight.

Studies worldwide have proved that depriving yourself of food is the worst way to lose weight; if you are currently doing this and it isnt working then you need to try something different.

EMOTIONAL EATING

Did you know that emotional eating is the second most proven reason for overeating, causing obesity in the world?

Eating because of boredom, loneliness, being miserable, tired and a million and one other emotional reasons, none of which has to do with actual physical hunger.

Emotional eating never makes your body feel satisfied; that is why people who eat this way never feel full. They never get the signal to stop eating because they wanted to satisfy their emotion not their hunger. Emotions can never be satisfied with food.

If you chose not to acknowledge the emotion it tends to nag at you, so to get rid of it you eat. By trying to block the emotion, it tends to nag you more and moreso you decide to eat more and more. The nagging will NEVER go away until you acknowledge it. Otherwise you will be forever EMOTIONALLY EATING.

However, this is where Emotional Freedom Technique can help! It can help void all the negative emotions that cause you to overeat in the first place. The precept of Emotional Freedom Technique is thatALL negative emotions are caused by a disruption in the bodys energy system. Get rid of the disruption and you free yourself for the emotion.

As soon as you acknowledge the nagging (with emotional freedom technique) the emotion will simply go away.

The great thing is that you will never be a victim of emotional eating again using this technique. If you ever get tempted again to snack, ask yourselfare you really hungry or do you just want to change the way you feel?

And remember if it is that you just want to change the way you feel, then it isnt food that will answer your craving, and using Emotional Freedom Technique will help with that.

I have successfully used Emotional Freedom Technique on issues such as post traumatic syndrome, fear, abuse, OCD and many more. It often works where nothing else will, usually rapid, long lasting and gentle, no drugs or equipment involved, easily learned by anyone and can be self applied. My many workshop participants will testify to this.

CONDITIONING

If you are overweight, youre not lazy, crazy or a bad person. You have just conditioned your mind and body to be that way. No amount of dieting, will power, pills, and shakes can change that.

The only way to lose weight and keep it off is to change the way you think about food and your relationship to it. You have simply developed some very UNPRODUCTIVE habits.

The good news is that reprogramming the mind and body is as simple as using Emotional Freedom Technique that will guarantee your success. You dont even have to believe that it will work. It just does!

My simple 4 step method using Emotional Freedom Technique will not only help you lose weight but stop obsessing about food for ever
