Debra Scott - 'How I lost weight and reversed my type 2 diabetes'

Debra Scott went to her GP in December 2017 with bad heart-burn and blood tests confirmed she had type 2 diabetes. She was prescribed medication, but having seen her late mother suffer with the condition, she decided to fight it another way.

In four months doing clean keto I went from an A1C of 13.3 to 5.8 reversing my type two diabetes cutting my triglycerides from 234 to 74 my hdl and ldl to perfect levels my free testosterone from 150-300 blood pressure is normal and lastly I lost 62 lbs . Again all in 4 months cutting out sugar and carbs no medication. It is now a lifestyle and I hope this helps anyone who reads this ad also watched this video

I studied Nutrition at Latrobe for 2 years, they told me that carbohydrates were an essential nutrient. What a load of rubbish.

A great vid. Beginning low-carb/keto at age 72 has removed 30 kg (65 lb) of body fat and improved my life immeasurably. It took a couple of years but never once did I feel hungry. But perhaps my greatest discovery was that medical doctors receive next to no training in nutrition.

Thank you Debra. This so true!! My husband is on low carb/keto diet for over a year now and he is free of medications for diabetes!

Today's doctors should be ashamed for not catching up on this. I was diagnosed type 2 diabetic 13 years ago and suffered under standard treatments like metformin, attempts with insulin, etc. My neuropathy has progressed above my knees and in my hands. I was told it was a progressive disease. Only 7 or 8 months ago did I discover how to recover on my own with low carb diet and intermittent fasting. I've lost 71 lbs but the struggle continues.

Thank you Low Carb Down Under for your outstanding contribution to educating the world. I discovered your channel and the wealth of information you share during September 2019. I binge watched everything and followed many of the individual presenters to learn as much as I could in as short a time as possible - armed with the science, I felt confident to do my own N=1 experiment and have been eating close to zero carb since November 2019. It has been life changing for me, too! My gratitude to Drs Paul Mason, Ken Berry, Jason Fung, Rob Cywes, Prof Tim Noakes and so many others is immeasurable - you have ALL changed more lives than you could ever have imagined possible!

Hi. Michael from Holland here.
Started clean keto combined with 18/6 intermittent fasting with my wife 4 weeks ago.
Lost 10.5kg whilst feeling great, more energy and no hunger feeling after the 18 hours whatsoever. Read a lot before starting, knowing how your body works and might react is a must. Good luck to everyone! Keep it up!

Very well said. David Unwin is, as you said very well respected all around the world now. Keep up your good work Depra.

I'm just starting my journey, and I'm happy to have found this.

Thanks for sharing. Why are health advisors still sending people on the wrong path? Hopefully messages like Debra’s will help cut through the decades of misinformation.

[pletchster]

Debra! Thank you for sharing. I love the visual you put together with the sugar cubes - genious!

[burgesue]

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing journey 😊 I started mine in November 2021, still a way to go but life changing! xx

Absolutely brilliant presentation, Debra! Thank you for sharing your story in such a profoundly educational way! Congratulations on both your and your husband’s successes!

[cmorrison]

Please do more success stories & testimonials like these! I find them very helpful and inspiring!

[yellowfuchsia]

Thank you for an excellent presentation, Debra. Firstly, congratulations on regaining your health and secondly, I wish you every success in getting your message across. I think it is an absolute disgrace that the NHS is still giving the wrong dietary advice in spite of the excellent work done by Professor Taylor, Dr. Unwin and others. We are constantly being told that we have an obesity crisis here in the UK yet the NHS 'Eat Well' guidelines still promote a high carb diet. So much ill health could be avoided if people were given better advice.

Congratulations Debra thanks for sharing your success!!! What a great journey for you and your husband to share. I was introduced to Keto by my daughter in Nov 2021 initially I thought it was a weird fringe diet but after seeing her success in losing weight thought I'd give it a go. So far I've lost 12 kgs and she's lost 20 Never felt better Thanks again

Congratulations on regaining your health.

Congrats on all of this and taking that step to stand in front of the camera to share your wonderful journey. It was this channel that turned my life around (Thank you Dr Mason)
Paramedic of 20 years with awful sleep issues and type II (snacking all the time). Now, 5 months in, out of the Type II and lost 3 stone. Took up running again and training for an Ultra marathon at the age of 58. Keto totally saved my life and sanity. :)
