I recently stumbled into a thought that I want to share with all of you specially those with type 2 diabetes who use Insulin to manage their blood glucose . When a person has type 2 diabetes he must have a degree of insulin resistance in the liver that is most probably caused by the presence of...

My attempts as described in a previous article failed. My T2DM didn't improve a bit. My last measured weight was 60 kg. I became so skinny and weak and looked 10 years older. I am now trying a new strategy which I will describe in a new article. Let the fun begin.

I tried LCHF for many months and went as far as adopting ketogenic diet. The problem for me is the fact that whatever protein I eat gets converted to glucose immediately, and causing my BG to rise. Secondly this diet fixes the symptoms of diabetes not the root problem which I believe is the...

When I started taking medications for diabetes 17 years ago, I was willing to continue so for the rest of my life if I hadn't felt that this was either not working or the adverse effects were intolerable, so in essence my continued efforts did not stem from a sort of whimp or a leisure...

On a ketogenic diet, liver and muscle glycogen gets depleted directing the body to resort to its fat reserves, except the brain. The liver produces ketones as a byproduct of incomplete fat oxidation. The brain so far relies on both the glycerol and gluconeogenesis for its glucose requirements...

I was just having a conversation with you. I am not a Doctor. I am not telling you to do anything.

My apologies. Didn't mean to offend anybody. Only wanted to help.

Dear. I am trying to be supportive and helpful as much as I can. But you are arguing against a solid scientific law in thermodynamics. This is why I am asking you ,for your own sake, to revise your ditery info. Something is wrong either in your scale or your calorie content evaluation of some...

Please consult with a dietitian. And consider this conversation as an opportunity to examine your ditery information.

When you cut your calories intake and still not lose weight, then you are not counting calories correctly. Many people tend to under count their calories and eat more than they think. The fact that you must lose weight when you under eat is a solid scientific law that is undebatable as the law...

I am very happy for you. It will become even easier as you lose more weight. Keep up the spirit

My pleasure to have this dialogue with you. By going low carbs, you automatically and unintentionally put yourself in a calorie deficit. Because you start burning the stored fat. Remember. When you low carb you don't lose fat because you're eating less. You're eating less because you're losing...

From a technical point of view. When you lose weight you must be in an energy deficit. You may confirm that by using available calculators in the Web that calculate your calories requirements. Please note that I agree with you on the LCHF diet better ability to suppress appetite.

You are absolutely correct. The type of food one eats may increase or decrease hunger and consequently control weight in either direction. My point was to say that Weight loss, by any preferred method, will eventually lead to "untangle" the acquired mess. Any means of a calorie deficit will...

I discussed in previous posts that when in the feed state, which I called storage mode, the body wants to store excess food as fat, so it resorts, intentionally, to induce IR to the muscles ' s cells as a tool to elevate insulin levels to support fat storage and maintenance of that fat. In this...

Dear All. The "lipo" word made you all pull out your guns. However no offence was intended. In fact I never meant with my suggestion the fat outside, but was referring to the more dangerous type which is the visceral fat. I know now for sure how eccentric my suggestion was. :happy:

Those numbers are amazingly low considering starting from 500. And considering being on no medication. furtherly. The challenge lies in bringing the pancreas to wake up, so that it may supply not only spontaneous adequate quantity of insulin, but also the accompanying other hormones of amylin...

It is not understood yet why bariatric surgery patients cure from T2DM even before weight is lost. It is thought that some signalling pathway gets interrupted by the procedure. If you surf the net for visceral fat either the first to go" or the last to go. You will find equal number of posts...

120 in my previous fast. So far 160 and going down going into 4th day.

Just want to report an unexpected thing. I feel less tired and debilitated on full water fasting than on 700 cal ketogenic diet.
