What if someone told you that there are two ways, just two natural and gratuitous ways, to manage diabetes, treat obesity, and regulate metabolic activities in your body?

Dr. Jason Fung, a Canadian nephrologist and a world expert on diabetic diets like low carb and intermittent fasting, is here to answer the above question for all of us!

Being the author of three top-selling health books for losing weight and controlling diabetes, in the long run, he has also co-founded the Intensive Dietary Management program like the fasting method that promises to help lose weight and improve blood sugar levels through a natural and effortless diet.

Dr. Fung believes that diabetes is essentially a disease of excess insulin, which can be controlled significantly through dietary practices. He further adds that pharmaceutical drugs have only a little say in curing dietary diseases like diabetes. He proposes two natural and drug-free ways to eliminate unwarranted sugar levels in the body.

The first step is to not put any further sugar into your body and follow it up by burning the existing sugar for energy, which is the second step.

It is critical to acknowledge the fact that sugar has no nutritional value as such. So, there should be no hesitance, in the perspective of health, to eliminate sugar from our diets. White bread, white rice, and flour have high contents of refined starch. Starch is a carbohydrate molecule of a large number of glucose units. Hence, the glycosidic bonds are easily broken during digestion and the glucose units are directly absorbed by the blood. This consequently raises blood sugar levels quickly.

So, unless you’re looking for ways to increase your blood sugar levels at a gallop, you are recommended to resort to natural fats found in foods like avocado, nuts, and olive oil. Choosing natural fats is one of the best decisions you could make for your diet, especially if it is to avoid heart disease and diabetes.

Dr. Fung has one more method for a diabetes-free healthy life. He says that it is the simplest and quickest – the fasting method. The idea here is to force the body to utilize the stored sugar for energy by burning it. It means that instead of eating and storing food energy, you choose to fast to burn the already stored energy. Fasting is one of the oldest dietary therapy which dates back to 2000 years ago.

When you follow the fasting method, you are believed to be encouraging your body to lose weight. When you take up Dr. Fung’s two steps discussed above, you are courageously embarking on a journey to the healthier and fit version of you!
