I can say I prefer time restricted eating, with lower carb intake. I don’t have diabetes, but I’m just enjoying not being tied to any food.
Less calories, more movement, mostly plant based.
Get skinnier
Don’t carb load
Review.
stop eating so much.
Low to almost no carb intake everyday and I lost 50lbs in 8 months. Still keeping it off after one year. I now try to limit my carbs to less than 60 per meal.
“Carbohydrate intake was not addressed.”
Anyone with a real-time blood sugar monitor will know EXACTLY what the benefit is with restricting carbs, versus the usual carb-loading (where their blood sugar spikes for an extended period).
But they aren’t permitted to disclose that option (basically going Keto), as the Leftists are trying to get people to STOP eating meat (which has zero carbs if unprocessed), and will soon stop trying and FORCE people to stop eating meat.
Cutting back on carbs will help.
Not eliminating them completely, like in keto, but just watching them.
THe book The Zone explains it very well.
Also a Swedish study noted that a 1/2hour walk/day is needed to cause the body to use up the excess blood sugar that it cannot store inside the body.
For breakfast I usually do oatmeal (old fashioned rolled oats) and eggs.
I don’t eat cold boxed cerial - not any of it (I can’t without raising my blood
sugar too much).
Baked goods are made mostly of almond flour - but I also use coconut flour, oat
flour, buckwheat flour, and sparingly some whole wheat flour.
Pancakes made of half coconut flour are darn good!
I eat no white flour, no rice (not even brown) - and keep the glycemic index
of all other foods pretty low.
I use lots of herbs and spices, erythritol (instead of sugar).
If you become a pretty good cook it is surprising how tasty & yummy you can
make your meals - as well as what substitutions can ‘work’.
For instance I cannot eat white potatoes - so no regular french fries -
but sweet potato fries actually taste BETTER than regular fries.
Etc-cetera....
Frustrating as I’ve never had a weight problem and work physically and walk every day.
Been on meds for diabetes 20 years.
Dr currently has me wearing a monitor to see what’s actually happening and when. Guessing a funky liver and I’m not a drinker either.
Not mentioned even once. In fact, the words "carb" and/or "carbohydrate" were not even in the article.
Makes one wonder if medicalxpress.com receives any advertising revenue or is otherwise supported by or invested in by Kellogg's, General Mills, Quaker Oats, Coca-Cola, etc.
Low carb and eating in an 8-hr window is easy and works. I’m not diabetic, pre-diabetic, or obese, but I’ve been doing both for the last 4 months and -poof - 20 pounds down. And despite eating tons of meat, cheese, butter, eggs, cholesterol levels are steady.
What should be done if someone has pre-diabetes / borderline type 2 diabetes, but doesn’t need to lose weight (BMI 24)? I have read that being too thin may be harmful for the elderly. Does keto diet and / or time-restricted eating automatically lead to losing weight?
It’s a lot easier to continue not eating — than to stop once you’ve started.
Why did the study not combine low calorie with time restriction? Or maybe I missed that point.
