Diet-Free Secret END Diabetes!
Wouldn’t it be great if you could eat whatever you wanted and not worry about gaining weight or developing diabetes?
Well, I can’t help you with the weight part… but I can help with diabetes.
Researchers have found a simple way to END your diabetes. And it doesn’t involve counting calories or restricting the types of food you eat.
In fact, it even works when you’re eating all of your favorite fatty foods.
Here’s what you need to know.
I’ve talked about the benefits of intermittent fasting before.
It’s something I put into practice myself. And it’s such a simple way to improve your health that I think everyone should be doing it – especially if you have diabetes or are at risk for diabetes.
Now, a study shows that intermittent fasting can help prevent type 2 diabetes even if you’re eating a high-fat diet.
This is significant since studies have shown that a high-fat diet promotes fatty liver (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). And having a fatty liver ups your risk of type 2 diabetes.
For this mouse study, diabetes-prone mice had unlimited access to fatty foods, but one group had their food restricted to every other day (the intermittent fasting group) while the other group didn’t.
It turns out that the mice exposed to intermittent fasting had significantly reduced levels of fat in their pancreas. In fact, it brought their pancreatic fat levels down to be about the same as mice that were resistant to diabetes.
Reducing fat accumulation in the pancreas helps prevent fatty liver… which helps improve insulin sensitivity… which is a big step in preventing type 2 diabetes.
Now, there are all sorts of ways to practice intermittent fasting and restrict how much food you eat. Personally, I restrict food for 16 hours and eat for 8 (called 16:8) a few days a week.
But if the thought of not eating for a 16-hour stretch makes you want to run in the other direction, start slower. Restrict your fasting window to 8 hours. Then stretch it to 12. Then 16.
