■■■yes. Calories don't build muscle. PROTEIN BUILDS MUSCLE & EXERCISE WITH ADEQUATE PROTEIN & Fats. So if you're eating enough protein to build muscle, you will burn through body fat first always. Muscle is not easily burned until you have exhausted your fat stores.

■■■ Yeah started ketogenic diet. 1st 5 weeks I ate 3k + calories at 70 to 75% Fats; 20% protein; 5%or less carbohydrates... That was hard to eat. By week 5+ though eating the same macro ratios at 60 to 75% fat 20 to 30% protein; 5% or less carbohydrates I find myself eating 1200 to 1600 calories per day and very satisfied.…

■■■REQUEST AN INSULIN SENSITIVITY TEST, YOU NEED TO KNOW IF YOU'RE SECRETING ENOUGH INSULIN. Most type 2 diabetics over secrete insulin. The cells just don't respond to insulin as well anymore. But if you're not secreting enough insulin you need to know that because this would mean you're moving toward type 1 diabetes.…

Over 2.5 years ago. Started at 7 units Novolog (fast insulin) before each meal. Then lantus (slow insulin at night 21 unit before bead.) So initially it was small dose before meal shots. I was taking up to 2000 mg a day in Metformin though too. I started that at 500 mg per day and was bumped up to 2000 mg slowly over a 6…

■■■ It's not likely you at all so give yourself permission to give yourself a break... Are you overweight in your midsection? Do you own a sugar meter? Have you tested your sugar level 2hr after eating? You can get a sugar meter at Walgreens with 10 free test strips for as little as $10.00. It may tell you what's really…

■■■what approach are you using? I started seeing good success after 3 days of low carbohydrates high fat & moderate protein. I understand hard & intermittent fasting works, caloric restriction works, and Atkins approaches all help greatly. I'm hopeful ketogenics helps me not only with the symptoms here in the short term,…

■■■ Diet soda may not raise blood sugar but it does raise insulin. Insulin is the fat producing hormone. If you always have too much floating around in your blood you will always struggle with weight loss. Consider a ketogenic or low carbohydrate diet; if you find success here you will know you have a metabolism problem…

■■■insulin secretion from to much protein or carbohydrates in your shake possibly. Try increasing fat, lowering protein and keeping carbs under 30g. Also over exercise can cause you to secrete to much stress hormone which interferes with weightloss. One other thought is that you're adding muscle too. You could also decide…

■■■Yes this is true. A low calorie diet will indeed help high blood sugar because if you're not eating it will reduce insulin & high blood sugars. Fasting for long periods would also cure most symptoms of diabetes. Fasting is harder to sustain though that a diet rich in fat, moderate in protein and low in carbohydrates. A…

PS- maybe I eat 10 to 15% more protein but that's it. I'm not going crazy with meat. Instead I'll eat a green salad loaded fats like blue cheese & bacon crumbles, etc. You must remember that excess protein accumulates carbohydrates too & forces an insulin respone. Our battle is with high blood sugar and a typical tendency…

■■■abosolutely, think I've eliminated 400+ stomach injections...■■■

Thank you!

It's been a godsend to my diabetes. Hey guys than run ultrmarthon races eat a ketogenic diet for goodness sakes and they are smashing records too. The LA LAKERS are adopting it too and the country of Sweden has new government guidelines adopting high fat, moderate protein low carbohydrate eating. Their review of all the…

■■■sure and I wish your mom success. The medical doctors mean well but they really aren't trained in teaching people about the best dietary rules to reduce this dreadful diseases symptoms. They just want to toss drugs at it treating the symptoms versus the cause. It's a long hard journey to get the real skinny on this…

■■■ A high protein diet can stress kidneys. A high fat diet does not. Usually a high protein diet is of concern if your kidneys are already weakened from disease or poor function. Ketogenics is a high fat & moderate protein and low carbohydrate program. It's highly satisfying to eat too. Wright loss is slower than Atkins…

Well my cardiologist s imply wants me to stay low carbohydrate. But with me doing ketogenic eating I'm running with my macro ratios at 65 to 75% fat; protein 20%; carbohydrates 5% or 30 grams max per day.

I try to eat according to macro ratios. 65 to 75% fat; 20% protein & 5% or less carbohydrates. Fats: Butter, coconut oil, olive oil, bacon & bacon fat added to all meats and green vegetables I eat. I eat the skin off chicken, eat the fat off steak and prefer the less expensive fatty mests. I eat high fat sausages, summer…

■■■Thank you!!!■■■

■■■THANK YOU!!!■■■

Thank you...

I disagree. fasting is healthy for almost everybody even if you have 7 to 10 percent body fat. let's say you weigh 200 pounds and are 10 percent body fat that means you have 20 pounds of body fat from an energy perspective 3500 calories is an estimated value of one pound of body fat. so if you burn 2000 calories a day as…

■■■ likely a little of all things. But fasting itself is very beneficial to our health especially for overweight or obese people. The longest clinical fast was 383 days and the patient only hot better day by dsy, week by week month by month until he broke his fast. The man lost 276lbs, and 5 years later is still a healthy…

■■■I've been there and you need to be aware of the foods that cause it. I got mine through excessive protein and veggies high in purines while doing Atkins many years ago. I've switched to ketogenics because it's high fat, moderate protein low carbohydrate. This has a severe case of diabetes in remission right now without…

■■■ I'm 6' + at 250lbs, diabetic type2, I've been as heavy as 285. I've been ketogenic for 10 weeks now and eliminated over 300+ injections of insulin since starting. 1st 4 weeks I ate a lot of fat calories in excess of 3k per day to get glucose lowered and to lower insulin response. Within day three my sugars normalized…

■■■ you have to be careful, because diabetes is big business!!! T2D can get into remission with a diet style that limits carbohydrates. I choose ketogenics & after injecting insulin 5 to 6 times a day I now don't inject any insulin nor do I take any pills or other drugs. I'm better controlled eating in a way that doesn't…

■■■ Sugar and anything that readily covers into sugar such as refined carbohydrates & starchy foods ■■■

■■■■■ 1. Water 2. Sleep not adequate 3. Eat to lose, but cut sugar & carbs 4. To much insulin in your body? It's not uncommon even in thin active athletes.
