Featured Story
I am currently living just off the Gulf
Coast. So, with all the other problems
going on in the world, I decided to do a
little pre-hurricane disaster prep. One of
the things I did was purchase a couple of
extra jars of peanut butter. Well, being
under quarantine and basically losing
track of the days, I was totally not keeping
track of the amount of peanut butter I had
been eating! Anytime I felt a little growl in
my tummy, my spoon landed in the jar.
Fortunately, I was at least eating it as an
unplanned meal replacement. Since I was
eating this delicious creamy peanut butter
straight out of the jar, before I knew it, I
had scarfed down the “emergency” jars of
peanut butter as well?! Slightly
embarrassed that I had somehow eaten
my way through the “emergency” stash of
peanut butter, I made an executive
decision…
PEANUTS,

In the U.S., peanut harvesting
starts in September and October
and can continue until November.
For culinary and nutritional
purposes, peanuts are considered
a nut. However, peanuts are
botanically classified as legumes.
They are edible seeds that grow
underground in pods. Depending
on the type, peanuts can take four
to five months to grow.

Take The Challenge
Whether you are a newly diagnosed
diabetic, pre-diabetic or a person
wanting to start a low carb diet to
lose weight, this is the tool for you.
Before starting a low carb diet, most
people eat a copious amount of
carbs without even realizing it.
Therefore, starting a low carb diet
becomes a challenge in two main
ways:
(1) you may not know what to
eat and what not to eat
(2) you may try to eliminate too
many carbs too fast and get
sick.
The 30-Day Low Carb Diet
Challenge teaches you day by day
what to eat and what to avoid. In
this way, you learn a little each day
while cutting back on your carbs in
a progressive manner instead of all
at once. If you have been
considering the keto diet, this is an
excellent way to start because it can
help reduce or eliminate the initial
severe keto diet side effects that can
result from an “all or none”
approach to dieting. The keto diet is
a highly beneficial and effective diet
for people suffering with various
health problems. However, the
initial side effects can be greatly
reduced, if not eliminated with the
right tools.

First, I decided that the “back-up” jars
of peanut butter were going to need
some orange cones and yellow tape
around it to remind myself not to eat it!
: ) And second, I went on a peanut
butter fast to break the newly developed
habit of eating it every day?!
Well, after about the second or third day
of not having any peanut butter, I felt
moody, perhaps even sad for seemingly
no apparent reason. Since I have
generally always been a “seize the day”
with my 3 cups of coffee kind of person,
I immediately recognized that
something was a little off. This was not
at all normal for me.
The Executive Decision
After doing a quick little self-
assessment, I realized that the only
thing I had done differently was stop
eating peanut butter. So, I jokingly said
to myself – “maybe I am having peanut
butter withdrawals or something.”
I totally laughed it off while using my
feeling “sub-par” as an excuse to dive
into the peanut butter again. And what
an interesting little experiment that
turned out to be!

VIETNAMESE
COFFEE
This country boasts one of
the most diverse, flavorful
and healthy art and science
of cooking in the world.
FOOD One of the main ingredients
used in the Vietnamese food
culture is rice, sticky rice,
and other rice derivatives.
So, if you are planning a trip
or a move to Vietnam, one of
the first thing you will need
to learn how to say is – “No
rice, please.”
Không có cơm, làm ơn. Fish sauce and vegetables
are also noteworthy features
of the culture.
FARMING Vietnam is known as a wet
rice farming country.
However, due to Vietnam’s
tropical climate, they grow
an extensive variety of
plants. You may be
impressed with the number
of different fruits and
vegetables produced and
eaten in Vietnam. In fact,
you may be served a plate of
herbs and vegetables to
start your meal.
“MEATS” With that said, animal
breeding was not well
developed in this culture.
Therefore, people mainly ate
vegetables and sea animals
such as shrimp, fish and
snails. Therefore, boiled
seafood dishes are one of
the most popular dishes in
Vietnam. As a result, there
are hundreds of different
kinds of fish sauces for
different dishes and regions.
DRINKS Vietnamese people usually
do not drink while eating.
This is likely beause of the
soup-based dishes that they
may have at the end of
meals. Interestingly,
however, the drinks in
Vietnam are as delicious
and diverse as its world-
famous cuisine. From fresh
coconut to artichoke tea,
beer and coffee, they have
got you covered.

CULTURE & LANGUAGE
THE CULTURE The culture of Vietnam is one of the oldest cultures
in Southeast Asia. However, for a period of time,
the Vietnamese culture was heavily influenced by
Chinese culture. This was due to their being ruled
by China for a thousand years.
In the 10th century, Vietnam became independent
from China. During this time, Vietnam began to
expand southward to include modern day Central
Vietnam and Southern Vietnam. Each of these
regions already had their own culture and
language which resulted in there being significant
regional differences in the Vietnamese culture.
THE LANGUAGE Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt) is the national and official language
of Vietnam. It is a Mon-Khmer language that is spoken by
an estimated 90 million people. Like many other languages
in the Southeast part of Asia, it is an analytic language that
uses tones, modifiers, and classifiers. Their vocabulary is
influenced by both the Chinese and French culture.
Historically, the Vietnamese alphabet was written in
Chinese characters. However, French colonial rule led to the
modern day Latin-based Vietnamese alphabets.
VIETNAM This country has a very
complex history.

Sour Red Cherries
26
If you have been on a ketogenic diet
for a while, you may be thinking –
cherries?! “I was told that I can only
eat the “berry” fruits in moderation.”
Well, this is true, the “berry” fruits are
lowest in carbs. And it is a simple way
to remember what kind of fruits you
can eat when you are out shopping.
However, there are other comparably
low carb fruits that you can eat in
moderation on a keto, diabetic, or low
carb diet like the sour red cherries.
Blueberries are one of the allowed
keto-approved “berry” fruits. Half a
cup of fresh blueberries equal 8
grams of carbohydrates. Similarly,
half a cup of fresh sour red cherries
equal less than 8 grams of
carbohydrates. So, sour red cherries
are another countable low carb fruit
that can be eaten in moderation.
Keep in mind that there are two major
cherry categories — tart and sweet
cherries. Cherries vary in color from
yellow to deep blackish-red. With the
excitement of cherry season, sweet
black cherries can be easily confused
for the sour red cherries. So, be
careful not to mistake them for the
sour red cherries.

Can I Eat That? If you ask 5 different diabetics this question, you might get
5 different answers. So, how would you respond?
• No – you cannot eat hamburgers, pizzas, and donuts.
• Yes – but you will have to adjust your insulin.
• Yes – but drink a lot of water and exercise afterwards.
• Yes – but not all at the same time.
I have type 2 diabetes…
As a diabetes management coach, I would
say: “You Can Eat That!” – but only if it is
made with the right ingredients!
The main goal with diabetes management
is to keep your blood sugar levels within a
normal range. And a secondary goal is to
keep you feeling good physically, mentally,
and emotionally after receiving a life-
changing type 2 diabetes diagnosis
There are a few ways to approach
managing type 2 diabetes. While,
ultimately, the main goal is the same,
different approaches can generate very
different short-term and long-term
outcomes.
As a diabetes management coach, I teach
people how to keep their blood sugar levels
within a normal range without medication. You
can learn how to accomplish this with the Low
Carb Diet Life Diabetes Management Guide
entitled – “Reversing Type 2 Diabetes Without
Medication”.
The guide will show you what kind of ingredients
you can use to make some of your favorite foods.
There is a learning curve, so blood sugar levels
must be carefully monitored. However, clients
quickly discover that it is well-worth the limited
effort it takes to learn what you can eat.
Some clients have been type 2 diabetics for 30+
years. They have been very successful with
managing their diabetes in this way. So, it is not
just for new diabetics, anyone can benefit.

The Results I discovered that the nutritional value of
peanuts is amazing! With all the peanut
butter I was eating, I had basically been
dosing myself up on a potent natural
multivitamin. You can have a look at the
nutrition facts of raw peanuts. However, I will
highlight what likely caused me to feel a little
blue after not eating peanut butter for days.
1. Peanuts and peanut butter contain a lot
of B-complex vitamins that will increase
your energy. So, after being energized for
weeks on my daily dose of peanut butter,
I felt more tire than I had been feeling.
2. Peanuts and peanut butter also contain a
substantial amount of magnesium!
Magnesium is a mineral that literally
makes us feel good and calm for seemingly
no apparent reason.
3. Peanuts and peanut butter contain
tryptophan which is an amino acid that
triggers the body to release serotonin.
Serotonin is a chemical that helps
modulate mood.
With that said, based on my research, I was
eating an anti-depressant. So, after I
suddenly stopped eating large amounts of
peanut butter, I felt low because I was not
getting my daily dose of feel good vitamins,
minerals, and amino acids. Now, it is no
mystery as to why my spoon kept landing in
the jar – the peanut butter was not just filling
me up, it was literally making me feel good.
Since my little discovery, I have incorporated
a small number of unsalted peanuts back
into my diet. In this way, the taste is more
like taking medicine than eating delicious
creamy peanut butter covered spoons for
dessert.

Without Medication
THE PROS
Prevent Over or Under
Medication
A person newly diagnosed
with type 2 diabetes may
soon discover the dreaded
low blood sugars that can
result from taking too much
medication. On the other
hand, if a person
consistently does not take
enough insulin to keep their
blood sugars within normal
range, severe diabetes
complications can transpire
quickly.
Over-medication occurs
because taking insulin is
not an exact science – there
are multiple factors in
which you have limited
control. For example, your
level of activity before or
after taking your insulin
and what you decide to eat
for a meal or snack from
one day to the next. Unless
you are eating the same
exact thing and keeping the
exact same level of activity,
you can only make an
educated
hand, with time, high blood
sugar levels can lead to
severe systemic diabetic
complications.
So, with so many variables,
it can be difficult to keep
blood sugars levels within a
normal range with
medication. When you learn
how to reverse type 2
diabetes without
medication, variables are
removed. In this way, both
immediate and delayed
diabetes complications can
be prevented.
No Injections
Many people hate getting
stuck with needles and
therefore do not take insulin
at all because of their fear of
needles. Others grow tired of
sticking themselves with
needles and injecting insulin
multiple times per day. With
time, as you learn how to
reverse type 2 diabetes
without medication, you
may not have to inject
yourself.
Cont’d page 42
Managing Type 2 Diabetes
educated guess about your
medication needs. This
guesswork can be
eliminated when you are
equipped with the right
tools.
When you learn how to
reverse type 2 diabetes
without medication, the
dreaded low blood sugars
essentially disappear
because you will not run
the risk of over-medicating
yourself with too much
medication.
One client hated having low
blood sugars so much that
they preferred their blood
sugar levels to be on the
higher end instead of within
the normal blood sugar
range. They feared that it
might start to dip too low
while working or sleeping.
Prevent Diabetes
Complications
A low blood sugar can be a
life-threatening situation
that requires immediate
attention. On the other
hand
There are many benefits to learning how to reverse type 2 diabetes without medication. So,
let us take a moment to highlight the pros as well as the cons to reversing type 2 diabetes
without medication. First, keep in mind that reversing diabetes without medication is not
to be confused with a cure for diabetes. It is a highly effective technique used to control
your diabetes in a much more predictable manner than taking diabetes medication(s). This
brings us to the first point.

Without Medication Improve Overall Health
Many people that learn how
to reverse type 2 diabetes
without medication
passively end up improving
their blood pressure and
blood circulation in their
hands, legs, and feet. So,
even clients that have been
diabetics for decades and
have already started dealing
with the severe diabetes
complications have notice
drastic improvements in
their overall health.
THE CONS
New Way of Eating
Learning how to reverse
type 2 diabetes without
medication does require
you to learn a new way of
eating. However, please do
not think that you are going
to be on a boring or bland
diet the rest of your life.
This is not the case at all!
There are many delicious
foods that you can still eat!
In fact, you may be shocked
by the taste of some of the
foods you can eat. Then too,
you may like some of the
new foods you will be
introduced to more than
some of the foods you are
currently eating.
Therefore, many of the
recipes and ideas are quite
basic – you do not have to be
a chef to accomplish your
goal.
CONCLUSION
So, the pros are that you can
(1) prevent over or under
medication, (2) prevent
diabetes complications, (3)
stop taking injections, and
(4) improve your overall
health. The cons are that
you will have to (1) learn a
new way of eating, (2) plan
ahead for your meals and
snacks, and (3) cook and try
new foods. You can manage
your type 2 diabetes without
medication.
Managing Type 2 Diabetes
Planning Meals
When you are learning a
new way of eating, the key
to success is planning – you
should always know what
you are going to eat next.
Ironically, my weight loss
clients are told the same
thing because once you are
hungry, it is hard to think
straight. Then it becomes
easy to relapse into eating
something that you should
not eat or eat more than
you should eat once you
finally figure out what to
eat. So, planning what you
are going to eat will become
a permanent and important
aspect to your success. This
is easy to do when you have
the right tools.
Cooking & Trying New
Foods
If you have never cooked
before, you will likely start
microwaving or cooking at
least a few things just to
add more variety and fill in
some of the meal planning
gaps. However, the diabetes
management guide was
written for someone with no
cooking skills that really
want to manage their
diabetes without
medication.

Many store bought peanut butters are
delicious and inexpensive. So, why
bother making your own homemade
peanut butter? Well, many store
bought peanut butters contain added
sugars, unhealthy refined oils,
preservatives, and added salt.
NO ADDED SUGARS
Peanuts are naturally low carb.
Therefore, most manufacturers add
sugar to the peanut butter. When you
make your own peanut butter, you
can add your own sugar-free
sweetener.
NO PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED
OILS
Peanuts contain their own natural
healthy peanut oil. However, many
manufacturers add an unhealthy
partially hydrogenated oil to the
butter to prevent the natural peanut
butter oil from floating to the top.
Partially hydrogenated oils can
damage and clog your arteries. When
you make your own peanut butter,
you can add your own healthy oil or
add no oil at all.
NO SODIUM/LOW SODIUM
Most peanut butters contain some
added salt. If you are trying to remedy
high blood pressure, you can choose
to add or not to add salt. Peanut
butter is high in fiber and potassium.
So, without salt, it can help remedy
blood pressure problems as well.

Prepping For The Storm | “Trip To Nowhere”
A storm is in the Gulf of Mexico. It is scheduled to make landfall in just a few more hours about 190 miles away from home. So, we are bracing for the storm.
The decision was made to move the car to another parking space. However, it was already raining. Not warm summer rain, but cold fall rain.
I went to my room, grab my rain shoes, and decided to just make a run for the car as my little nephew stood at the door.
He watched me run for the car in the cold rain through the wet grass.
I got inside the car, cranked up the engine, put it in reverse, and backed out of the long driveway.
As I pulled up to the stop sign on the street, I soon discovered that the parking spot that I had in mind was already occupied with another vehicle. So, I made a quick u-turn in the road and pulled the car back into the driveway.
I grabbed an umbrella, got back out of the car, and made a mad dash back to the door.
My little nephew was still standing at the door. Not knowing the game plan, he was confused and asked, “What, you aren’t going nowhere?”
Already cold, wet, and little annoyed by the blank trip, I had to laugh to myself because, although he was confused, he was correct in his own way – I didn’t go anywhere.

INSTRUCTIONS | All Natural Lip Balm
Making the Lip Balm:
1. Place the beeswax, cocoa butter,
and avocado oil in microwave safe
glass measuring cup.
2. Prepare whatever container you
will be using for pouring the balm.
3. Put the measuring cup with the
mixture in the microwave.
Microwave the mixture in 30
second increments and use your
spoon to stir the balm at each
interval. (Caution: Once the oils
and butters have melted, the cup
itself may be hotter than
expected.)
4. Once the beeswax and oils are
completely melted, add the
vitamin E oil, rosemary essential
oil and peppermint essential oil.
Stir.
5. Carefully pour the hot balm into
the lip balm containers while the
balm is still hot. If the balm starts
to harden, simply reheat until it is
again pourable.
6. Let the lip balms cool for about 30
minutes or as needed depending
on the temperature of your room.
7. Then, your high-quality all-
natural lip balms are ready to use.
The cool crisp air of fall is so energizing! It is the perfect time to sip hot drinks, make a new
keto soup, or pour yourself a new batch of all-natural lip balms for winter. So, let us get started.
