There are a lot of natural steps you can take to reverse type 2. It is a constant fight to maintain.
Fast 16 hours per day. Water from 7 pm to 11 am. He would need to start at 10 to 12 hours and work up to 16 over a month. Fasting gave me back the full feeling instead of eating all day long.
Greens... contain a lot of things the body needs. Broccoli contains sulphur which turns on fat burners in the body.
A switch to whole foods; steak, eggs, veggies. Whole grains.
Exercise. A bit of cardio and a bit of weight lifting. His T-Levels are probably fucked also... Weights and burning fat will fix this.
This is a slow roll on.... up ramp with caution. Fasting time should have a nutritional bar as a bail out for low blood sugar. These are the basic steps, hard to implement and maintain.
Is that fasting 16 hrs per day every day?
That is what I do, only eat between noon and 8 PM. "Intermittent Fasting" is a term I hear in my circles.
Yes, daily. First time I did this it was hard to make it to 16 hours. First goal is to establish 12. Stay on that for a week, then go 13 hours.
I went head long into 16 and at 14-15 I would get hangry. I would use 5 almonds to make it to 16 hours.
You really need to push and LISTEN to your body. I notice 2 waves of hunger happen. First wave of hunger is easy to let pass. Second wave of hunger happens about 2 hours after that. The body will adapt but don't fall down and break something due to being hyperglycemic.
I will also state that I ate 2 lunches at the start. I did not adjust my daily calorie intake. Over time my body wanted less food and calories came down.
I think you mean hypoglycemic, not hyperglycemic.
Yes, and thank you.
Actually you probably want to monitor both during the day and track over time to see how fasting impacts the range.
