What is the best recipe for a meal replacement/superfood shake?

Question

Basically I am fed up of eating, I want to have breakfast and just make a shake up twice a day, down it and know that my body's need are taken care of.
I am diabetic (type 2) so not allowed high carbs or sugars.
I also need a lot of calcium due to starting the menopause at 28.
I have been looking through all the superfoods and I cannot tell which to use together.
Can anyone tell me if this would work?

Chlorella Powder
Spirulina Powder
Yacon Powder
Hemp Powder
Soy Powder
Psyllium Powder
Raw Cocoa Powder
Skimmed Milk Powder

Would this make a shake which I could live on and be healthy?


Oh and please do not tell me to eat a balanced diet, my diet consists of chicken, tuna, salad and fruit and I STILL have high cholesterol and a fat belly (the rest is fine). I never drink soda or alcohol, I do not smoke or take drugs and I am still obese and very annoyed. I can tell the doctors do not believe me when I tell them what I eat. I eat very little and still I am fat!
So I want to try this out for a while and see if anything good happens.

Thank you for your time :o)

Answer 1

Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr. Neal Barnard, and Dr. Joel Fuhrman have all independently shown that Type II diabetes can be reversed in most cases through a radically healthy Whole Food, Plant Based (WFPB) diet. Your physician is probably not aware of these studies because medical continuing education continues to be heavily sponsored by large pharmaceutical firms. Even a "vegan" pediatrician I know is very reluctant to advocate for this diet (despite her knowledge of its effectiveness) because of the huge push back from parents and the medical community.



Your choices of food are mostly processed containing refined ingredients and dairy. These are not effective and may cause you ongoing health issues. I recommend that you consider the investment in a powerful blender that can be used to mix ice, water, dark leafy greens, and fruit. This drink is called a green smoothie. (Whole fruit in limited quantities, because of natural sugars. High fiber helps.) Sadly, our medical community and dietitians are not well equipped to help you with this. You might search out a naturopath with more education in nutrition and experience with healthy vegan diets.



Do your own research and read books by Neal Barnard, Joel Fuhrman, Dean Ornish, and T. Colin Campbell. It is possible to reverse many instances of Type II diabetes, but it does require a radical change to your food choices.

Answer 2

There is a lot of stuff on the internet that is basically fat-shaming diabetics for causing their own diabetes with their bad diet and lack of exercise and general lack of moral fibre. A lot of this stuff is written by non-doctors, often with a supplement or diet or training plan to sell that they claim will completely cure diabetes if only people stick to it.



I read this interesting book https://tr.im/5yEBx that gave me a lot of useful tips about my disease and also a different perspective on the best therapeutical approach. I think you should read it too.
