...and learn all you can from pre-agrarian peoples and the experts who are familiar with their diets, such as Dr. Jay Wortman, the physician who directed this study.

If you really want to eat healthy, instead of processed lunch meats and beans, eat foods that come as close to unprocessed wild foods as you can: wild and pastured meats, fish & seafood, healthy fats (100% pasture-fed suet/tallow or pork leaf fat/lard, fish oil, some can handle pastured dairy fats), organs (liver, tongue, kidneys, heart, etc.), pastured eggs, wild or organic green veggies and limited low-sugar, organic fruits as treats.

@Smallville7000 : Don't think in terms of replacing modern foods. Think traditional diets.

@kelgramm: I doubt that he would, because all grains contribute to the diseases of civilization that he works to reverse (obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc.).

I too am interested in what you can eat. How can you eat a sandwhich, what do you substitute? I would like to know too. I just watched the show and was encouraged.

Hi there, I just saw the big fat diet on tv and am very happy that there are doctors like Jay Wortman that care so much about others, that they go "against the grain" to prove it. Congratulations on your new lifestyle. I am wondering if Dr. Wortman approves of non-white breads and ones that are gluten free. please write back with any information you might have.thanks.
Hi
3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I am an aboriginal woman who has tried every diet imagined. I lost my dad piece by piece to diabetes and I refuse to go out the same way. I read the Atkins diet and have been on it years ago. Although it is just to much and not simple enough. They give you so many ideas and restrictions it consumes your time. I love the simplistic information Dr. Wortman gives it has motivated me again. HELP

My Cree partner started this diet after watching the show on CBC. His sugar was going from 20+ down to 3, sometimes in a single day. Now his range is from 12 to 5, in just 3 weeks! Try minomen (wild rice), it doesn't raise your sugar; wrap lunch meat, cheese, etc. in lettuce leaves for a sandwich; eat your stew without potatoes; eat beans with your meals instead of bread. There's lots of ideas and it ain't easy, but it ain't hard either. Decide to be healthy - we have to!
