Back in the early in the early 90s someone I knew was diagnosed with type two diabetes. He was given a suggested daily meal plan by a health professional. Listed as a snack was……. Pretzels. This was during the low-fat craze but pretzels are 100% carbs with no protein or fat or fiber or even nutrition.

No wonder the establishment is terrified of RFKjr having any influence in Washington. He said in his speech that when JFK was in office, 6% of American adults had chronic diseases. Now the number is many times greater than that. I forget exactly what number he said, but it is huge.

Big Pharma does not get rich when people adjust their diet to eliminate type two diabetes.

Processed meat like hot dogs and sausages often have sugar and/or milk powder (lactose)

BTW, we all remember the old sayings about how important breakfast was and how a child shouldn't be sent to school on an empty stomach.

It was Kellogg's that advocated for the importance of breakfast, particularly for children. Kellogg's has run various campaigns emphasizing the importance of eating breakfast to start the day well, often highlighting how it can affect children's performance in school.

All bullshiite.

Carbohydrates actually cause brain fuzziness (the famous carbohydrate hangover) and fasting makes the brain clearer.

Actually, there’s a new discovery about C15 a fatty acid found in butter and red meat. And a deficiency in that allows iron build up that may be associated with diabetes type 2, if I recall correctly. So red meat could be related due to iron but insufficient butter seems to be the culprit.”

Diabetes does not run in my family. The only person I have ever known who got type 2 did not eat a lot of red meat but he always used margarine as opposed to butter.

Do exactly what the usual government approved “experts” recommend when it comes to diet.

My husband’s glucose levels go UP when he eats anything high in carbs or with added sugar (I swear added sugars are our nation’s legal cocaine).

His levels stabilize when he eats proteins and fresh vegetables and fruits (not frozen canned or processed). Meals such as eggs and bacon or steak are the best diet. Any processed foods are the worst.

During and after World War II, our government told us that margarine was much healthier for us than butter. It was a lie and they knew it.

Red meat causes type II diabetes, eh? That's their story? Nothing to do with highly-processed carbs, seed oils, high-fructose corn sweeteners?

That's their play?

So sausage is a problem from a carb perspective?

Or from a “processed foods” perspective?

It’s commonly available (usually sausage and peppers) at supermarket hot bars.

That’s not how I did it, but I have been doing the 16 hour fasting for several months now.

Back in 2016 I decided to get healthy as I was beginning to experience type 2 symptoms and wasn’t feeling very well.

After some research, I went the method of “resetting” my hunger trigger and insulin production.

I ate a simple salad with just lettuce for 3 straight weeks. This was exceptionally difficult, but I stuck to it.

At this point, I still needed to shed a lot of weight, but I was already feeling better, and my appetite was no longer constant and persistent. This pretty much ended all of the type 2 symptoms I was feeling.

After those 3 weeks, I started a Keto diet and the weight more or less melted off of me.

Type 2 symptoms haven’t returned, and I’m doing my best to keep the weight off.

Best thing I ever did for my health.
