Type 2 is easily cured with a ketogenic diet.
Keto or paleo. You could also go carnivore but then eat a bunch of raw salad with your meat as it lacks the fibers that help for a proper digestion.
Yep exactly. Meal timing as well I.e. intermittent fasting
I've been carnivore for several months now.
Digestion will not be an issue on a meat only diet. No salads required.
That added salad would make it keto, not carnivore.
A 100% carnivore diet is not viable in the mid term.
If you mean pure protein yes that will kill you (look up rabbit starvation.) You might get by without carbs for a good while but all protein and no fat would be deadly, at least 0.3g/day of fat per pound of body weight is considered to be the healthy bare minimum to keep your hormones from crashing.
I have heard of one morbidly obese guy who went on a multi-month fast but it was under constant doctor monitoring and needed a lot of multivitamins every day.
You don't need fiber. I ate carnivore for a year and was fine. My bowel movements were the best I'd ever had.
Need to get back on it.
Everyone is different with different gut microbiomes. Without fiber I had diarrhea multiple times a day for years and started to think I had IBS, getting 30g/day was the one thing that fixed that issue overnight. Also my gains improved greatly, my gut transit is way too fast and needs to be slowed down to really absorb nutrients properly otherwise it just rockets through without full digestion.
This diet zealotry is one of the biggest problems with nutrition right now. No one diet rules them all.
So you were only eating meat and dairy and still had the issues? How long were you only eating meat and dairy while still having the IBS like issues?
Seriously asking.
what about type 1?
First, I'd be specific about type 1 in the post, because type 2 is far more common. So common that almost everyone thinks of diabetes as type 2 nowadays.
I've heard that newly diagnosed type 1's have a few options to prevent it from fully manifesting, but not sure what those options are. I found two studies that show mebendazole cured it for newly diagnosed type 1s. Fenbendazole is a drug with similar action. I have had T1D for many years, and based on that study did a 3 month course of mebendazole which unfortunately didn't work. Also did a bunch of antiparasitic treatments just to see. So far no luck.
That said, check out faustmanlab.org, especially the papers published around March - June 2020. Dr Faustman had effectively proven that it's caused by certain TB vaccines. And she has a cure that has proved extremely promising... but it's stonewalled in a long approval process, not approved yet. It's one injection, and then it takes 3.5 years. Anyway, look it up.
While on a long waitlist to participate in one of her phase 3 studies, I've gone on a full carnivore diet. Cuts down total insulin use by a lot, and there's some tantalizing anecdotes out there. Jordan Peterson in one interview said he knew someone cured of longstanding T1D by the carnivore diet. I don't have the link, but it's a Joe Rogan interview from about 5 years ago.
Also check out Dr Valter Longo. He promotes a "fasting mimicking diet" but when you look at the studies that back up his work, there are some mouse studies that show complete restoration of insulin production using repeated fasting, like a 5-fay fast 3 different times over 3 months. If I figure it out and end up curing it, I'll post. If you figure it out, come back and make a post. Good luck. WWG1WGA.
