My husband had it & he is diabetic… I am not, but it helped me also…He was maxed out on his diabetic meds including insulin & thought his diabetes was controlled by meds, but his diet was anything, but good….his blood sugars were decent & that’s why he thought he was ok…. He carried most of his weight in his belly….and told everyone it was all muscle….lol…. He was insulin resistant…… We both went on a high protein & fat, low carb way to eat….no processed foods (got them out of the pantry) no sugar, no breads, pastas, or cereal…. Ate lowest carb veggies & fruit. No bananas or no potatoes….. we replace the sugar with fat for the energy that our body needs…. ( It didn’t happen overnight, but eventually got easier & helped tremendously…..He lowered his diabetic meds & off his insulin now…. We both lost our spare tire & weight, even though we didn’t need to lose that much. We lost excess fat…. We both dropped our pant sizes…. It’s not that we never spurge, but go right at it again, because sugar is very very addicting. Once my husband went off his insulin he had to continue eating low carb because of no help that insulin was doing even though it was a false help. Go on YouTube & check out carnivore/ keto eating…. Dr Ken Berry & Dr Chaffee, Dr Shawn Baker, Dr Jason Fung… They all talk about how meds are over prescribed & diet is the better way to help the body produce a healthier way of life…. Good Luck….
