Here are foods with little or no lectin. If you think I’ve unfairly discarded your favorite leaf or flower vegetable, it’s quite possible: search the internet for its lectin content.
I give this list as a guide: consult a diabetologist or a nutritionist to be sure.
I combined the carbohydrate-free and lectin-free diet with Dr. Alain Delabos’ chrono-nutrition. It was while reading it that I understood that despite my intolerance to milk and yogurt, I could eat cheese. Thanks to him.
Allowed plants: edible mushrooms ; leafy vegetables, flower vegetables: artichoke, asparagus, avocado, beetroot, celery, all cabbage (not cream puffs), endive, spinach, fennel, lettuce, leek, radish (you may need to remove the skin. I don’t eat radishes). Personally, I mostly eat endives, lettuce, and cabbage. Vegetables that are neither leafy greens nor leafy greens (potatoes, beans, peas, etc.) contain too many lectins.
Seasoning: coconut oil (other oils may be suitable: ask a nutritionist), onion, garlic; spices: turmeric (but not curry, because it contains chickpea puree), star anise, etc. Beware of industrial spices, there is a lot of hidden carbohydrate or lectin. No mustard, no mayonnaise, no ketchup, no sauce.
Beverages allowed: water, tea, coffee, herbal tea. No sugar, no sweetener, no alcohol, no wine.
Fruits allowed: a few red or black berries (blackcurrant, currant, blackberry, raspberry, cranberry; but no grapes, too sweet), avocado, a few nuts, 1 clementine, 1 mandarin, 1/2 grapefruit, depending on the season. Be careful with dates, grapes, cherries, very sweet, even for joker meals. I didn’t eat any fruit while I was on insulin.
Eggs: I sometimes have an egg for breakfast, or for lunch.
Morning, breakfast: cheeses (no yoghurts, no cream cheese, no fromage blanc; no milk) until satiety + drinks allowed. Dr. Delabos authorizes a gluten-free baguette. Personally, I no longer eat bread.
Noon, lunch: red or white meats + vegetables + seasoning + drinks. No bread, even gluten free.
Afternoon, snack: 1 fruit + drink. No bread. I went without fruit as long as I was on insulin.
Evening, dinner: fish or seafood + drink. No bread.
Adapt according to your known allergies and intolerances, your diabetes, your blood sugar.
After the success of your diet (you no longer need insulin), Dr. Delabos authorizes 2 joker meals per week, but not on the same day.
I eat dinner less and less often, so that I fast between 15 to 16 hours a day: this is intermittent fasting.
Collateral benefit of this diet: I no longer have any dental caries, and I am in good shape.
