Nutella Protein Waffles and Type I DIABETES
A great testimony from a Type I diabetic.:
"Maria,
Kathy and I have to let you know what the time with you has done for
us. As you know I am a type 1 diabetic and am always looking to
improve my eating habits. And like most Americans we are also trying
to fight the onslaught of cheap easy food and what it does to us.
My goal as a type 1 diabetic was to reduce my insulin intake and to
stop taking drugs that doctors feel are necessary for diabetics take
just because we are diabetics. In my search for better meals and
healthier eating a friend of mine recommended you. From our very first
session I learned I was close. But, the little changes I made were a
world of difference. And as I continue making changes that are in line
with your teaching I continue heal my body.
For example, before we changed our food combinations I was taking up
to 40 units of insulin a day. The changes started lowering the amount
of my daily use of insulin the very first day. I am now down to using
between 15 and 20 units a day. That means my body is storing less fat
and I am beginning to fuel my body with protein instead of carbs. What
is more impressive is that I have never been under 20 units of insulin
a day in five years as a diabetic. I thought the first day was a
fluke. But, it is now a norm. And most important I am eating as much
if not a little more food each day. I am not starving at all.
My wife is not a strict as I am. However, she is making the changes I am
making everyday. She is also losing weight and getting closer to her
natural body weight. There is little to no effort to make the changes.
The only things that are hard for her to give up totally is wheat
bread an a little Diet Dr. Pepper a week. However, she is taking steps
every day to change her life over and plans to be completely changed
in the next few weeks.
Thank you Maria for helping us get on the right path to better health.
Marc"
My suggestion is to make a triple batch of these and keep in your freezer for an easy breakfast. Just pop one in the toaster like you would the chemical-filled Eggo Waffle. TIP: Make sure your waffle iron is hot hot hot before adding any batter or it will stick.
1 cup hazelnut meal
1 cup chocolate or vanilla egg white or whey protein (Jay Robb)
1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt
1 TBS aluminum free baking powder
1 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk
2 eggs
4 TBS butter or coconut oil, melted
2 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder (or 1/4 cup for a dark chocolate flavor)

1 TBS aluminum free baking powder
1 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk
2 eggs
4 TBS butter or coconut oil, melted
2 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder (or 1/4 cup for a dark chocolate flavor)
1 tsp stevia glycerite
1 tsp vanilla or chocolate extract
OPTIONAL: Chunks of ChocoPerfection Bars
Preheat waffle iorn to high. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Combine the wet ingredients in another bowl. Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry. Let sit for 5 minutes. Bake according to your waffle iron directions (I spray my waffle iron with THIS Coconut oil spray). Enjoy! Makes 6 servings.
NUTRITIONAL COMPARISON (per serving)
Traditional Waffle = 247 calories, 11g fat, 2g protein, 27 carbs, 0.7g fiber
"Healthified" Waffle = 221 calories, 18g fat, 11.4g protein, 5.8 carbs, 2.6g fiber

Click HERE to find the Xylitol syrup I use!
XYLITOL occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables and is even produced by the human body during normal metabolism. Manufacturers make it from plants such as birch and other hard wood trees and fibrous vegetation. Some people prefer the taste of xylitol.
CALORIES = 2.4 calories/gram; 1 tsp has 9.6 calories and 1 tsp of sugar has 15 calories (40% fewer calories and 75% less sugar than table sugar)
SWEETNESS = Same as table sugar. Use cup for cup.
BENEFITS:
1. Reduces Cavities: It does not break down like sugar and keeps a neutral pH level in the mouth. Sugar produces an acidic environment in the mouth, which increases bacteria and weakens the enamel protecting the teeth. Xylitol prevents bacteria from sticking to the teeth, which protects the teeth from tooth decay. After eating xylitol, acid-producing bacteria falls as much as 90%, therefore the bacteria can't stick to the surface of the teeth which decrease plaque buildup.
2. Reduces Ear Infections: It has be used as medicine for ear infections because it clears out excess earwax and inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria in the pharyngotympanic tubes.
3. Helps with Asthma: Since asthma is linked to chronic post-nasal drip, xylitol helps by breaking the cycle of bronchial inflammation.
4. Clears up Candida: Candida is an opportunistic fungus which feeds on sugars and other yeast-containing foods (foods that are aged, pickled, dried, fermented or cured).
5. Boosts Immune System: Xylitol increases our White Blood Cells, therefore boosting our immune health and protects us from chronic disease and bacterial infections.
6. Protects newborns from streptococcus if the nursing mother consumes this. It is proven to help decrease this oral bacteria by 80%.
7. Decrease Allergies and Sinus Infections: They now have a nasal spray made of xylitol because it decreases the harmful bacteria that gather in the cells of our nose.
8. Reduces Ovarian Cysts, PCOS and Breast Cancer: Consuming sugar creates high insulin levels which increase the production of estrogens, leading to an estrogen-dominant condition, and also interfere with healthy ovarian function. Insulin resistance is a major cause of a growing hormonal problem called polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Signs that the body is being exposed to higher levels of the male hormones include acne, loss of head hair, and an increase in body hair. Lowering insulin levels is crucial for not only treating PCOS but also resolving most other hormonal imbalances, including those leading to breast cancer. Xylitol is a natural insulin stabilizer. There are no sharp rises and falls in insulin levels such as occur with sugar.
