[QUOTE="Lesleywo, post: 883696, member: 112692"] I am a huge fan of Dr Jason Fung. He talks so much sense with regard to type 2 diabetes being a cause of too much insulin as opposed to too little. I also like the fact that he advocates some fruit and beans etc in the diet. Fasting is not for me (too many memories of low blood sugar in the past, plus I like my grub!) but I have been trying the fasting method where you only eat between certain hours. I have breakfast at 10am and my last meal is 5.45pm so I fast for 16 hours. I don't do it every day as sometimes it doesn't fit my schedule but eating during this time frame cuts 2 snacks out for me so that's a positive in itself and I notice weight loss immediately. I really love listening to this guy .... he drives home the fact that focussing solely on blood sugar is only treating the symptom of type 2. Whereas the focus should be on the root cause of the problem, insulin resistance which is where it all starts. He also talks about foods that produce the most insulin being meat, white fish ... ones you wouldn't expect. There is a thread on here about this that resurfaced recently. So much to all this than just high blood sugars, eh? [/QUOTE]
