 Step 2. You have to stop eating all grains, especially the big players like wheat, corn, oats, and rice. These grains turn into sugar even before you swallow. Amylase, which is an enzyme in the mouth, starts breaking down the starches into sugar in the mouth before you swallow them. Thus, by the time they reach your stomach, they have transformed into sugar, which is their true form. Step 3. Kick out vegetable oils. Canola, soybean, sunflower, you name it. They're inflammatory and not doing your health any favors. They have a very high ratio of omega 6 to omega 3, and they also oxidize very quickly when you cook with them and also in your body. Experts believe that they also contribute to the pathology that eventually leaves you with type 2 diabetes.
