this is pretty awesome, the rules
What you CAN eat:
Whole foods that are more a product of nature than a product of industry
Lots of fruits and vegetables (we recommend that you shop for these at your local farmers market)
Dairy products like milk, unsweetened yogurt, eggs, and cheese
100% whole-wheat and whole-grains (find a local bakery for approved sandwich bread and check the Understanding Grains post for more info)
Seafood (wild caught is the optimal choice over farm-raised)
Only locally raised meats such as pork, beef, and chicken (preferably in moderation)
Beverages limited to water, milk, all natural juices, naturally sweetened coffee & tea, and, to help the adults keep their sanity, wine and beer!
Snacks like dried fruit, seeds, nuts and popcorn
All natural sweeteners including honey, 100% maple syrup, and fruit juice concentrates are acceptable in moderation
Also check out the Recipes & Resources page for a more detailed list of meal options including links to recipes
What you CANNOT eat:
No refined grains such as white flour or white rice (items containing wheat must say WHOLE wheat not just wheat)
No refined sweeteners such as sugar, any form of corn syrup, cane juice, or the artificial stuff like Splenda
Nothing out of a box, can, bag, bottle or package that has more than 5 ingredients listed on the label
No deep fried foods
No fast foods

most people in this country live in the city and are used to eating more processed foods than natural foods. If they do decide to go the natural route, the cost is significantly higher to eat all natural.
I would have to believe that this person's idea (if followed) of eating all natural foods for 100 days would help someone who is borderline diabetic to feel better. I also believe that people's muscle ratio would increase and their fat levels decrease. Cholesterol levels would possibly be lower as well.
It might cost extra (up to 3 times as much) to eat all natural. But the benefits are there.
