Healing Eczema Diet

After 3 days of consistently high blood sugars in the 300-400 mg/dL range (normal should be around 83 mg/dL so this is really high), taking 2-4x as much insulin as I normally do, and talking to my acupuncturist about my new vegan/pescatarian ways, I need to make a change.

He said I need to do a diet that is first and foremost good for my blood sugars.

So I am basically going to follow the advice of this lady and her healing eczema blog, which seemed to help me some before: http://www.eczema-natural-healing.com/eczema-and-diet.html

This diet basically follows the Paleo diet principles...

Breakfast (4am-12noon)

Make a fruit smoothie with:
1. Banana, strawberries, raspberries, apples, oranges, cherries, peaches, plums, and/or pears.
2. Golden flax seeds freshly ground (2 Tbsp), wild crafted blue green algae, green drink mix, organic unheated coconut oil, and probiotics.

Do not add melons, blueberries, or grapefruit to the smoothie – these must be eaten separately.

Lunch (12-4pm)

Have either:
1. Fish (salmon, halibut, or oysters) and vegetables
2. Ezekiel bread with either vegetable soup, or avocado/tomato/cilantro/olives
3. Miso soup, brown rice and steamed vegetables
4. Mashed potatoes using coconut milk and butter, with sautéed mushrooms in tamari sauce and a small salad

Dinner (4-8pm)

A 16-24 oz. glass of vegetable juice made with:
2 stalks celery,
1/2 bunch parsley,
2 carrots,
1/4 bunch cilantro,
3 leaves of kale,
1/2 cucumber,
1 green apple.

Add and alternate, in very moderate amounts: ¼ beet, cabbage, zucchini, bell pepper, bok choy, etc.
If still hungry after this drink, eat some raw, organic nuts and/or seeds: pine nuts, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, or soaked almonds.

Snacks:

Fresh fruits
Fresh vegetables (cucumbers, carrots)
Unsalted nuts or seeds
