This has multiple benefits1. Not triggering insulin2,. Allowing the body to burn up excess glucose for fuel3. Over time turning the body on to burning fat for fuel (providing carb intake is low enough)4. This leads to weight loss and more efficient functioning5. This can assist in putting T2 into remission.This is why I believe intermittent fasting along with ultra low carb is a major benefit for T2's.If you eat enough fat and protein in your main meals then snacking per se should be come less attractive.. fat keeps you full and provides energy.</blockquote>
