I am a 40-year-old male from the UK, who is unsatisfied with the poor quality food I find available in the shops (and green grocers). Currently I am overweight by about 3 1/2 stone. I find some raw foods boring, some I don't even like. But my initial search on the Internet has inspired me to try using raw food in a different way. I don’t know whether I’ll be a total raw foodie, but I am willing to try some of the lovely recipes I have seen so far, and to investigate an alternative to the mush so many people think is normal food.
I have only just become interested in eating raw food. Currently I have purchased a Geo seed-sprouter, although this is a little too big. One of the first products I came across was agave nectar; it says it is low GI. This fact is excellent news for my stepmother, as she has just become diabetic type 2. The particular brand I have purchased tastes like Golden Syrup, fabo!
My stepmother has only just crossed the border into diabetes. I understand that there are foods you can eat to stimulate the production of insulin. With diet alterations I believe it is possible to reverse these early stages, this is a question I would like to ask of this forum. Also I find the cost of the one product I have purchased very expensive, will this be a trend I find in eating more raw food, or are there suppliers that I would not consider to be rip-off merchants?
