New gal here...how do you maintain blood sugar?

Date: July 07, 2010 02:07AM I recently answered a questionnaire regarding metabolic typing test...from it, I learned that I am a protein type meaning that I need a certain amount of protein to maintain concentration, blood sugar and such~
Maybe it's just hard for me to "see" the protein in veggies...I eat at least one huge salad daily with red and butter lettuce, pink lady apple, artichoke hearts, carrots topped with my own apple cider vinegarette dressing. Aside from raw almonds or nuts, what else are high sources of protein that will "stick to the ribs" and help me maintain my blood sugar? Pardon my ignorance and thank you for your help~ Re: New gal here...how do you maintain blood sugar?

[www.youtube.com] Your a 'protein type' is another way of saying 'Ive been sold hype by someone that has no idea about human nutrition..' 
Do what ALL the thriving raw fooders are doing in this movement. Read 811 and chow down the mega calories from your fav fruits and life the healthy hydrated, slept lifestyle. Im an elite athlete, hence I need more protein than 'protein types' that cant even run around the block at pace.. I get all my protein needs from consuming sufficient amounts of fruits and veg.
Youve got the right intentions but just on the wrong direction. Re: New gal here...how do you maintain blood sugar?

Everything raw has usable amino acids, which your body can use to construct protein, providing your digestion is functional. Sprouts, sprouted legumes and sprouted grains are good sources of concentrated "protein" in a raw vegetarian diet. The best way to figure out what your body needs to thrive is to eat a variety of foods and see what regimen you feel most alert and energetic on. I would caution that there is zero scientific evidence behind the hypothesis of Metabolic Typing[there is even a great deal of controversy about who originally came up with it], so be advised.
