The BEST Anti-Diabetes Diet
There’s no way around it: If you’re trying to avoid type 2 diabetes, you MUST consider your diet.
I’m not just talking about WHAT you’re eating—that’s the smallest factor involved, if you ask me.
The bigger issues are HOW MUCH and WHEN.
To find out what diet was the best at lowering markers of type 2 diabetes, researchers put two eating styles to the test: calorie restriction and intermittent fasting.
And the dramatic results are sure to surprise you…
With intermittent fasting (time-restricted eating), you eat ONLY within a limited window during the day. For some, that’s 8 hours. For others, 6.
For this particular study, researchers tested a 4-hour eating window (3 days a week) for the intermittent fasting group.
The other group followed a calorie-restricted diet for 18 months (this typically involves eating about 800 calories daily).
Both groups experienced about the same amount of weight loss. But that’s where the similarities ENDED. After just six months, there was a CLEAR winner.
We’re talking…
- Greater tolerance to glucose
- Increased sensitivity to insulin
- More significant reductions in blood lipids
And the winner is… Intermittent fasting!
I’ve encouraged intermittent fasting for these very reasons for years, of course. But it’s always nice when a major study published in a journal like Nature Medicine proves my point.
The study makes several important points:
- Weight loss alone isn’t the answer to type 2 diabetes.
- WHEN you eat is as (or even MORE) important than WHAT or HOW
- It IS possible to take control of your diabetes risk factors.
In fact, another recently published landmark study demonstrated that following these SAME principles, could even REVERSE type 2 diabetes if you already have it.
