A new sort of revolution seems to be taking place in the state of Maharashtra, India, for treatment of obesity, and for prevention and remission of type 2 diabetes.
The greatest thing about this revolution is that it has been arrived at through participation of masses, and asks people to follow two main aspects with mathematical precision. These are as follows:
1. Eat only twice. All solid and liquid intakes, except water, should be consumed within two intervals of 55 minutes each. No limit on water intake. Even medicines are to be consumed only during these two intervals.
2. Walk everyday 4.5 km in 45 minutes. One can also run or swim, instead. Metrics need to be identified for running and swimming.
In addition, those with diabetes should take a diet of fruits, salad, sprouted legumes, and carbohydrates strictly in this order.
The idea behind this diet takes into account that Indians eat lot of carbohydrates. The order of eating will make them consume less carbohydrates. This will reduce the post food blood glucose spikes, and avoid ill effects(if any) of eating only twice as against taking food multiple times a day as advised by the doctors for reducing blood glucose spikes. In turn, the twice-only-meals diet will reduce excessive generation of body insulin, avoid insulin resistance from developing, and help achieve remission of diabetes. Thousands have got rid of obesity and many have got their HbA1c reduced to normal levels. Yours truly is also a work in progress.
The vagueness associated with the normal advice of doctors treating diabetes for controlling diet and doing exercese is now replaced with precision in action. And that is the key for its becoming popular among the common people.
This procedure is likely to become a mass movement with the logo of "Obesity and Diabetes-free India".
