If a doctor told me to quit eating tomatoes I would fire him/her on the spot! Tomatos are one of the most nutritious veggies available!
I agree with Gretchen. At this stage of your treatment the main objective is to stabilize BS. It is difficult because there are so many uknowns, but it is do able. The reason it is so important is because the PP spikes causes hunger and irresponsible eating as a consequence. For me, if I drink a Dr. Pepper, my sugar spices in the 300’s and it takes me about 3 days to stabilize my BS and appetite. I really suffer, so it didn’t take too many sodas to convince me it isn’t worth it.
If the Berstein diet is too extreme then check into the mediteranean diet. I’ve heard the mediteranean diet is better at stabilizing insulin and BS levels. Also, don’t be afraid to adjust a diet to your taste. Just use good judgement and moderation…
