My name is Gail Breeden and I want to thank you. Yes I am going to use your recipes to help me fight 2 diabetes

[@AdrienneRubinkowski]

As always, Zonya’s presentation is full of very easy, very effective, very flavorful ways to improve your life habits to improve your life, period. And she’s fun in the process!

[@zonyafoco8122]

Glad to know this isn't your first rodeo with me and that you still value it. Thanks so much!

[@anneallen3566]

I’m a diabetic2 and fruit does raise your blood sugar, some fruits can spike it. Stick to low or medium glycemic fruits. Anyone can learn about low, medium, and high glycemic foods for yourselves. Ceylon cinnamon is the only one you should use. I’d get it from a place like Penzey’s, Whole Foods, places that sell organic foods.

[@onedaybetter3547]

Diabetes is getting to be a bigger and bigger problem every day. Zonya really breaks it down to the very essential information in a very easy to understand and enjoyable way and gives you a few delicious recipes to try along the way. This is a great place to start making changes within your life, whether you’re pre-diabetic, just recently diagnosed, or already in the fight for your life, jump aboard and enjoy the ride. And not only with this, she’s got a whole plethora of programs given throughout the year which are very effective. If you say you’ve tried every “Diet” known to man and nothing has worked, you probably haven’t tried Zonya’s programs. Give them a try. You won’t be sorry.

I dont have diabetes but I am working toward a healthier lifestyle with food, exercise and other healthy habits. My Mum died of Pancreatic Cancer at 70 in 2010 and one of my sisters was diagnosed with diabetes along with her husband. They have since gotten into more exercise and healthier eating and have also lost some weight. They have 10-year-old twin daughters so they need to look after themselves.

All cinnamon is not good cinnamon. The type makes a huge difference we need to educate that people only consume Ceylon/True cinnamon.

[@hphan7549]

Very correct! Only Ceylon, the rest being so detrimental to your liver, let alone destroying it 🥴🥹🙏🙏🙏 Unfortunately, most if not all bakery foods out there use non-Ceylon, for cheap cost, of course 🥴🥹🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for all of this GREAT and very doable information to DODGE /STOP diabetes in its tracks. Last year, I heard it was on the rise by 700% (maybe I am off a bit/ maybe it was obesity). As a teacher I see so much processed (carbs and high sugar) foods being packed in lunches, that it just makes me sad. I so appreciate you helping all of us understand the cause and effect of these foods. It can be so confusing with marketing and our fast paced lifestyles!

Thank you for being a teacher! You see the toxic food of our culture first hand. It really is hard to "stay healthy in a culture that's anything but" May we just keep it simple and eat REAL!

My brother in law eats stacks of fruit a day during summer when the stone fruits and berries in his orchard ripen. Record 14 pieces . The sugar illustration is brilliant!

My mother has high potassium, was told no flaxseed, but was stated can have up to 2000 potassium a day. If that's the case then why not at least 1 tsp of ground flaxseeds. Also, will I be able to add 1/4 of avocado? She doesn't have diabetes. I would love healthy breakfast and lunch menues. I am tired of fixing her the same breakfast most mornings (oatmeal). Now, I try to do bran oat hot cereal as well. I read about oats, wheat is not good. Heck, one minute you can get certain foods, then later you can't. My niece and two sister has diabetes of them use insulin.

@@yvonneclapham1660 Hi! three servings of fruit = 180 calories and 6 grams or more of fiber. Even if your metabolism is REALLY suppressed, you get at LEAST 1,200 calories a day (why would fruit put you over the top?) Fruit is NOT the cause of obesity or diabetes in America!
