But if you eat your proteins first, whatever your proteins are, fish, chicken, Turkey, red meat, eggs, beans, lentils, soy products, eat it first and it does not increase your blood sugar, as if you ate something else before that, it slows it down.

Eat your vegetable second. And eat whatever grain you’re having third. Second thing, have one to two cups of cruciferous vegetables at at least one meal per day. One to two cups of cruciferous vegetables. That’s broccoli, kale, cabbage, cauliflower, your garlic, your onions, your red peppers.

Have them one or two cups any way you want to cook them. You can put a lot of seasoning, but avoid salt. You can use some low salt mustard, low salt hot sauce like Tabasco and this will really help your blood sugar and your kidneys.
