Carbs and sugar don't  cause diabetes. Fat does. High fat diets are the cause of type 2 diabetes. Here is how it works...

 

 

Within two weeks of a whole food plant based diet most people are actually cured of type 2 diabetes. They can eat all the delicious fruit they want with 0 negative side effects.

Low carb diets don't cure type 2 diabetes they just take away the symptoms by restricting sugar. 

Diabetes isn't carbs? Dumbest ever, lol. That's idiocy taken to new heights.

Carbs trigger the symptoms. It isn't the underlying cause of the problem. It's not difficult to understand.

Watch the video. It explains it well.

It's hard to understand how someone like you would be so easily duped into believing bullshit. But hey, you do you. I'm going to keep on doing what works.

Cool. I'm done trying. Let me know when you come around. Hopefully it won't be too late.

If that were actually true I wouldn't have reversed my condition by greatly increasing my fat consumption. Come on man, you're better than this.

Low calorie, eating fruit, veggies, oats, nuts and lean meats. Skip sugar, junk food and go light on the dairy.

Stay away from fruits as they're high in sugar. I love fruit but I avoid it, only occasionally indulging in strawberries. Eat eggs and bacon, cooked in real butter.

I have to wonder if this isn't a troll.

@lightsout listen to this advice. Avoid Jeremy and JOATS ridiculous pissing match. 

 

I've also cut out red meat and overall starchy foods (bread, potatoes) almost entirely. Lift heavy, try to take in about 2 gallons of water a day. Start at 1 and work your way up. HIIT cardio is ideal after your workouts if you can. Try to workout 4-5 days a week. I quit dipping Feb 2016 and have lost about 100lbs. Best of luck.

Not trolling at all, this is my day to day lifestyle and I've had nothing but great results. 

Fat adapted means I don't burn glucose because I don't supply my body with carbs or enough protein. I burn stored fat which produces ketones, thus the name Ketogenic diet. Your brain and your body run more efficiently on ketones. 

This isn't some experimental crap I found or invented, there is TONS of science and data to support it, otherwise I wouldn't have done it. It goes against the conventional "wisdom" that has seen or nation become fatter and sicker while adhering to the food pyramid fallacy. Americans statistically eat less and exercise more yet obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, etc are still on the rise. If you really want to learn more I'm happy to put you in contact with hundreds, if not thousands, or people who have done this for a long time and have changed their lives for the better, just as I have.

First sentence has been proven not to work. The second sentence was accurate though. Low calorie diets fail, it's been proven many times over. Low calorie diets lower your basal metabolic rate, even with exercise.

That is because folks refuse to stick to them, not because they don't work.  Eat fewer calories than you burn and you will lose weight.  Anyone who says different is full of crap.

First of all you're making is way too complicated. For the love of God people fasting is dumb and unhealthy. It's a cheap way, or vanity as Zod says, way to loose weight but has no other benefits other than looks.

 

Good lord. Don't worry about how you look, learn to NOURISH your body properly with FOOD. Pizza, burgers, ice cream is not food...these are STIMULI. They feed appetite, not your body.

 

You crave it because our hunter gather heritage makes our bodies crave things like meat, carbs and sugar because back in the day these things were hard to find...and good to eat once found. Our bodies have not caught up to the AVAILABILITY of things we have today, and how easy it is to obtain then. We no longer hunt or farm or search for them that take days and a ton of energy.

 

You people are so focused on how you look you starve yourselves because you have no self control over eating stimuli yet you're only hurting your body and not creating a long term solution.

Eat healthy portions of protein, carbs and healthy fat throughout the day. Make sure you're getting your body's minimum of these which is based of your activity. Drink water and excersise. Stay away from stimuli. That's all! How hard is that? Your body will look good AND you'll feel good.

 

The lack of self control of you guys, to the point you have to stop eating altogether, is terribly frightening.

Unless you look at the many studies that show otherwise. Not only that, but what good is a diet you can't stick with? Wonder why there hasn't been a Biggest Loser reunion show...

Calorie restriction also slows down your metabolism. Again, it's been proven.
