Are you living with type 2 diabetes and have you heard from a friend, family member, or even the internet that you can reverse it with simple dietary changes? Well, it's not just a rumor; it's actually true. In this video, I will share five easy steps that you can start implementing today to reverse your type 2 diabetes within the next few months.

Before we dive into the steps, let's address some misconceptions. First and foremost, I want to clarify that I'm not here to sell you anything. You can reverse your type 2 diabetes for free. You don't need to purchase anything from me or click on any links. You also don't need prescription medications, be it pills or insulin injections, to reverse your type 2 diabetes.

Another misconception you may have heard, even from healthcare professionals, is that type 2 diabetes is a chronic progressive condition that you'll have for the rest of your life, and it will only worsen over time. That's simply not true. In fact, I propose renaming this condition as "chronic carbohydrate overdose syndrome." By calling it that, we remove the mystery surrounding it and reveal a clear solution for type 2 diabetes.

Having type 2 diabetes is not your fault, but it is your problem. So, pay close attention to these five easy steps that can help you reverse it. Consider taking notes so that you can implement these changes yourself at no cost. Additionally, there are a few simple lab tests you can get to track your progress and witness the meaningful impact you're making in reversing your type 2 diabetes.

Now, let's dive into the five steps:

Step 1: Eliminate all sugars from your diet, including added sugars and naturally occurring sugars. Avoid consuming any products that contain added sugars. These products are not real food; they are factory-made products that spike your blood sugar levels and hinder your progress in reversing type 2 diabetes.

Step 2: Cut out all grains from your diet, such as wheat, corn, oats, and rice. Even seemingly healthy grains convert into sugar rapidly, even before you swallow them. Your body breaks down these starches into sugar, hindering your efforts to reverse type 2 diabetes. Be mindful of this fact and steer clear of grains.

Step 3: Remove all vegetable oils from your diet, including canola oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, corn oil, and cottonseed oil. These oils are inflammatory and can contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes. Opt for healthier fat sources instead.

Step 4: Incorporate fatty meat into your diet. Fat and protein do not significantly raise your blood sugar levels or insulin levels. By consuming fatty meat, you can enjoy a nutrient-rich food without negatively affecting your progress in reversing type 2 diabetes.

Step 5: Obtain your carbohydrates from above-ground, non-starchy vegetables. The amount of carbohydrates you consume may vary depending on your individual needs, but aim for a low-carbohydrate approach. Some individuals can reverse type 2 diabetes by consuming 100 grams or fewer of carbohydrates per day, while others may need to restrict it to 50 grams or even 20 grams.

Keep in mind that these steps also work for pre-diabetes, and they can help type 1 diabetics reduce their insulin dependence and achieve better control over their condition.

To track your progress, I recommend asking your doctor for certain lab tests. These include a fasting glucose test, a hemoglobin A1C test, a C-peptide test, and a fasting insulin test. These tests will provide valuable insights into the improvement of your type 2 diabetes over time.

By following these five easy steps, many individuals can reverse their type 2 diabetes within a month or two. However, for those who have had the condition for a longer duration or struggle with giving up carbohydrates, it may take two to six months to achieve complete reversal. Remember, the goal is to reach a normal hemoglobin A1C level, typically below 5.6, and maintain it for optimal health and longevity.

Feel free to explore my YouTube channel, where you'll find numerous videos that can further assist you in reversing your type 2 diabetes. Whether you prefer a vegetable-based approach or a carnivore diet, there are playlists available to guide you through the process.

Remember, you have the ability to reverse type 2 diabetes and take control of your health. Start implementing these steps today and embark on a journey towards a healthier and happier life.
