What is the keto diet and how does it work for weight loss and overall health? Does it have any relation to diabetes?
Hi Nazmus and welcome to the forums.What is the keto diet and how does it work for weight loss and overall health? Does it have any relation to diabetes?
Hi @drsamrnewFrom what I have learnt so far is this:
1. Time restricted feeding works way better than Keto. Although Keto can be a good start. Keep eating window between 4 to 6 hours, max.
2. One actually has to limit Fructose, instead of Glucose, in order to improve T2DM, get faster weight loss, and overall health. Ideally, the Fructose consumption should be restricted to less than 20 grams per day.
3. Nothing works if one doesn't a) Sleep early, b) Doesn't move much the entire day.
Do 10000 steps, walk for 1 hour, 5 miles etc are all misleading. One can do all of that, but, one just have move a lot and sit less. That's all.
4. Avoid grains at all costs.
5. Look for any fat which is either Saturated fat or mono Unsaturated fat and doesn't let one's Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acid ratio to go higher than 4:1 in anything consumed. Hint, read labels and learn how they hide poisonous ingredients in them.
5. Avoid "forever chemicals" (search internet for this term) at all costs. I have to admit, its not easy to do that. Nevertheless, try hardest.
6. Nothing works if one doesn't manage stress.
That should suffice.
Finally as I may just possbly be old enogh to be his great granny, I actually grew up eating mostly real food with normal full fats. So my current ketogenic type diet is broadly based on what I've nearly always eaten.On Fats, I keep it simple - eat real food and traditional fats that your great granny would recognise
Dennis Pollock is great isn’t he!?This Keto thing is hard if you don’t have any support from your family. I’m going to stick at it come hell or high water. The you tube Chanel ( beat diabetes ) is just fantastic and checking your meter is a way of keeping your sugars down.
