How do you put diabetes into remission

---

For type 2,
read the diabetes code by Dr Jason Fung.

I was wrong to conflate the standard American diet and the food pyramid, they are not synonymous.

I was wrong to think that everyone needs to be on a low-carb diet to be healthy.

I was wrong to believe that low carb diet is superior to losing weight. It may be easier to stick to the diet, but users lose weight because of lower calories.

I was wrong to think that pizza hamburgers donuts and potato chips were high carb foods, they’re not, they are highly palatable foods and equal amount of calories come from fat and carbs. Adults don’t like to eat purely carb foods, they want it mixed with fat and salt.

I was wrong to think that your body has to burn of carbs before it burns fat.

I was wrong to think that artificial sweeteners increases blood glucose, insulin, or shown to Cause weight gain.

I was wrong to believe there was evidence that shows eating an organic diet is better for you. Only appeals to naturalism.

I was wrong to Think that diabetes is cured by a low carb diet, when A diet apart from losing weight has never been shown to reduce A-1 C.

I personally prefer a low-carb diet because it gives me a tool to abstain from the dopamine rush of highly palatable foods. I am also in the middle of a 110 hour fast.

I think that reducing seed oilsl is good if that means not getting them from pop tarts, but if you put animal fats in pop tart it’s not gonna change the obesity epidemic.

I think that if you are thin, get your 12,000 steps a day, don’t use tobacco, and have a good sleep hygiene that covers about 95% of our risk reductions.

Where would pecan oil fall on this?

I think if you were using it for taste and sparingly it would be fine. I think the main issue with these seed oils is that they are used in everything we eat.

Wish I could find salad dressings that didn't have soybean oil.

Primal Kitchen product's are pricy but good.

Walmart carries many of their products.

All you need to do is drink apple cider vinegar at night and it neutralizes all the bad shite in these oils. And it melts fat away. I saw it on the internet so I know it’s true.

You can eat anything you want and still lose weight just by drinking apple cider vinegar.

He has a Quack list he’s critical of the ones theorizing and stating like it’s the truth. Attia, Huberman, and Sinclair are highly criticized. Dayspring and krauss are not like this, they speak differently.

His criticism of Ludwig he’s not a great speaker

Attia and cgms Diet wars

if you have olive oil and lemon juice or vinegar you have everything you need to make salad dressing

This.

Take a TBSP of red wine (or your preference) vinegar. Add salt and pepper. If you like, add in a bit of dijon to help with the flavor and emulsification. Whisk to combine.

Now add in three TBSP olive oil and whisk to combine until emulsified.

Best damn salad dressing you will ever have.

If you want to add herbs or aromatics like parsley, shallots, dill, chives, etc. do so at the beginning when you whisk the vinegar/salt/pepper/dijon combos prior to adding the oil.

Kresser is on the Quack list linked above.

If the video in the OP is made by Joseph Everett, well, he's on the quack list as well.

I'll check it. But Attia is pretty flexible. I've never found him to be dogmatic or quackish. He seems think fairly highly of himself, and I disagree with him often, which is great. I don't know shite, ultimately.

Oh and the main thing I've read by Ludwig was on fructose and NAFLD. Seemed pretty unassailable.

Watching the video you linked now re obesity. And carb-insulin model. I haven't read that Ludwig book.

Eta: gonna watch the video on Attia. I'd like to see one on Naiman too. They're both openly changed their opinions over the years, based on their own clinical experience, n=1 experiments etc.

Naiman even said in some interview not long ago, "Hell we may come back to just CICO soon." I just don't see how he fits the quack definition. I guess he and Attia both sell shite. I'm always wary of that. Especially those who sell fasting. Lol. I'm going to sell you literally nothing.

Eta: listened to Bass's Attia overhype thing. I don't see how overhyped necessarily means quack. I guess it's a matter of degree.

Extra virgin olive oil is great for you.

At room or low temps. For normal cooking avacado and coconut oil or butter is much better and safer
