Diabetes Reversal: Is it the Calories or the Food?

Even when study subjects were forced to eat so much that they didn’t lose any weight, a plant-based diet can still reverse type 2 diabetes in a matter of weeks.



More on the remarkable work of Dr. Kempner here:

It`s so disgusting to think that people who have Diabetes are not being told this basic dietary information but instead are being kept ill and on medication for their whole lives. Still, the health care people make their profits.

Type 1 diabetic and cut my insulin need two thirds based on my insulin to carb ratio. High carb, low fat, low protein, high fibre, whole food, plant based vegan is where it is at. Cheers as always Dr Greger

Can you believe that people are having their feet AMPUTATED when they could just change the way they eat? Are burgers and steaks really worth a limb? Surely this should be common knowledge. 😔

Thank thank thank thank thank you! So tired of people saying "everything in moderation" to things that are healthy for the body. When it comes to plants, eat in abundance!

When my doctor put me on insulin he told me to expect some weight gain. And so it happened, but I don't know if it was because of the insulin itself, or if I used the insulin as an excuse to eat more. Eventually, I decided to fight diabetes by losing weight and had to give up insulin because the hypoglycemic attacks were very bad. When I presented my results to my doctor as a fait accompli, he said, "Good!" I'll give him that.

Another great video. I have cut out all animal products from my diet and it works very well for me.

[segway]

these videos should end with ''that's...the power... of plants.''

I cured myself from type 2 in seven days. Was only eating salads and fruits and drinking green smoothies in the morning.

I could introduce you to people who immediately dismiss all of these videos. Those people will say that Dr. Gregor is just biased. Then those people will go to WebMD and find an article saying that there is nothing wrong with eating eggs.

LOL ... "moderate amputations" -- Good one, Doc.

One of the best videos of the channel! Thanks for sharing!

I would like to go to a doctor that sent me home with a bunch of kale, carrots, or collard greens!🤓 "Eat this and come back in 20 days" 😆😄🤣

my dad said he would go plant based if I showed him a study that showed the full benefits of a plant based diet on diabetics. someone please link me the full article on 3:11 I think that is a good study to show my dad.

[vonneblazier]

That take on moderation is a real motivator.

[normalguycap]

I have to do this. But to find the right meals so I can plan it. I need those resources.

[quinnterry]

who dislikes this video is my question! lol! amazing as always!!

"Everything in moderation, including moderation."

[platinumsunset]

Does anyone know what plants the participants were eating? I also would like to know if they were restricted in any way. I am very interested, as I am on 20 units of insulin. Thanks

So many possible reasons but if I where sick I would go all in
