Better Blood Sugar WITHOUT Dieting
If you’re fighting the blood sugar battle, I have good news:
You CAN win.
And you can manage your blood sugar levels without even changing your diet.
Here’s how.
A new study reveals the importance of WHEN—not just WHAT you eat—when trying to reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes.
For this particular study, researchers carefully crunched the data from over 100,000 people with an average age of 43. Dietary records were kept for each participant for two years, and then follow-up was done for seven.
It turns out that the folks who regularly ate breakfast after 9 a.m. had a significantly HIGHER risk of type 2 diabetes.
But people who ate dinner earlier had a LOWER risk of developing the disease.
In addition, volunteers who fasted for 13 hours or more overnight also had a lower incidence of type 2 diabetes—but only if breakfast was eaten before 8:00 a.m.
This highlights two crucial points.
- Intermittent fasting (going for 12+ hours without eating) is beneficial.
- It’s most beneficial when your eating window occurs earlier in the day.
So, why does eating earlier in the day have such a significant impact on blood sugar and diabetes risk?
It’s because your circadian rhythm impacts your metabolism. It controls glucose, insulin, glucose tolerance, and appetite.
All of these critical systems peak earlier in the day—making eating earlier optimal because of how well your body will handle the food.
For example, eating soon after you wake triggers hormones like insulin to help shuttle sugar into your cells and out of your bloodstream.
Now, this doesn’t give you a free pass to eat Entenmann’s for breakfast.
But when combined with a healthy lifestyle, this simple shift could shield you from developing type 2 diabetes… or help set you on a better, healthier path if you’re already there.
P.S. THIS causes 70% of type 2 diabetes cases.
