From Diabetes to Health: Real-Life Transformations and Low-Carb Recipes

Hi everyone! Welcome! Today I want to provide some truly inspiring and practical information about how low-carb and Paleo lifestyles can transform your health–particularly if you have diabetes. Plus I’ve got some super simple yet delicious recipes to get your started on the journey to wellness. Let’s dive right in!

Bernard’s Diabetes Transformation: From Hopelessness to Cure

Let me introduce Bernard. A year ago, he weighed 275 lbs (125 kg). He was suffering from diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure problems, according to his doctor who told him it was progressive disease with no cure and would need to be managed effectively in order for him to feel good again in the future. But Bernard wasn’t ready to accept that reality and was left feeling hopeless and anxious.

Bernard decided to try the Paleo diet after researching it online. Already familiar with low-carb diets such as Atkins, he was intrigued by its promise of eating nutrient-rich whole foods – so much so that he cancelled his planned bariatric surgery surgery due to this change in lifestyle.

Within months, Bernard started losing weight and feeling amazing. He went from eating three meals daily to just eating once because he no longer felt hungry. Bernard realized that Paleo is more than just what you eat: It’s also about breaking free of the belief that three meals per day are necessary and understanding that hunger signals your body to give itself extra nutrition.

Now fast forward: Bernard has lost 66 lbs (30 kg), is off most medications, feels great and joined a gym to start working out regularly – not to mention completely curing his diabetes! Even his doctor now considers him his “poster boy patient.”

Bernard’s story serves as an important reminder that changing what’s on our plates can often be the key to health and well-being.

Fasting Can Treat Diabetes and Weight Gain: Fasting

Fasting could be just what’s needed to take your health to the next level: I recently interviewed Canadian nephrologist Dr. Jason Fung who is pioneering groundbreaking work with fasting for type 2 diabetes. According to him, while low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) diets may help, fasting may prove even more effective.

Dr. Fung discusses how fasting can reverse diabetes and lead to significant weight loss. He offers practical tips on how long and why fasting should be easier than expected, how best to handle potential side effects, as well as any medications which should be adjusted during fasting to avoid dangerously low blood sugar levels.
