Big thanks to Dr. Taylor & you for sharing this information! Watched this video mid-March 2022 (already T2D 1-yr+). By March 25th, I'd read Dr. Taylor's work & the referenced works of others. June 6th labs: officially not diabetic, lipids all in the "healthy" range (apo-b too), and 35# lighter. Followed-up with my PCP yesterday; the best word to describe his response is 'giggly'. He got a 2-minute explanation of the program and said he's got to read up on it. Glad of that. Sorry to see other's comments that facts are not always well received.

It's funny, when I read the original study in early 2012 and used it to reverse my t2d I told everyone about it. I was roundly criticized for spreading misinformation especially on the ADA forum (who, incidentally, published the original research). My diabetes dietitian was interested but the GP said it wasn't possible and was shocked when i passed a 2hr ogtt in his office which he gave me to shut me up about having " reversed" t2d.
He said " sometimes newly diagnosed t2d can go away for a while"
Well it's been 10 years and although I've put on 10kg it still hasn't returned but I'm still 20kg below the diagnosis weight.
I sometimes wonder how many people have suffered terrible complications after listening to the moderators say I was lying and block me on those diabetes forums for spreading misinformation (that was linked to their own journal article)

I had borderline diabetes 3 years ago. I found Roy's research, and went on a diet. I lost 45 pounds, going from 185 pounds to 140. The diabetes reversed; and I have kept the weight off.

I am actually a Radiologist, and I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes despite my relatively average looking appearance. I had a BMI of 30(technically obese) but looked, maybe, slightly overweight. But one day I became ill and did a CT scan of my abdomen and was absolutely shocked at how fatty my liver was. My liver was so fatty that my blood vessels appeared like there was contrast dye in them despite the scan being performed without contrast. This is abnormal because the color of blood should be about equal to that of the liver on a CT scan without contrast dye. Though I have read and learned much about diabetes, even much that was discussed here, I had never read about "fat threshold." But this concept seems to be true, because everyday I see scans of morbidly obese patients who weigh upwards of 400 lbs, and these people will not have a liver as fatty as mine. On the other hand, I see patients, like myself, who have maybe an slightly overweight build and they also have very fatty livers. The point is that, you cannot rely on your outward appearance as a simple way to judge your metabolic health. It is still important to be evaluated by a physician regularly. I am one and because I put my health on the back burner, I now have to suffer with diabetes. Its a terrible disease that leads to heart disease, kidney failure, terribly dry mouth, dry skin and hair, eye problems, hypertension, loss of sensation in your limbs, and a whole bunch of other problems.

Reading Taylor's book left me speechless. He's also very humble and replies to emails. Great and brilliant man.

Professor Taylor and his team continue to be ignored by the majority of mainstream medicine.
Ron's breakthrough on T2D should be screamed from the rooftops, and he awarded a Nobel Prize.
That he isn't is indicative of the pathological bias in medical research.

Two weeks ago, after blood tests, i was told i´m pre diabetic. Doctor told me to lower carbs and take metformin. Literally just those few words. I was feeling very sad and anxious because i didn´t undestand what was happening with my body. Tried google but results were very confusing. Watching your videos on the topic and listening to Prof Taylor who have studied this condition for several years felt so encouraging. I will revert diabetes.
Thanks a lot Dr Gil, you are the true MVP.

Incredible video ❤ I wish I have seen it 21 years ago. Though I reversed my DT2, I always, almost instinctively felt that it might come back if I go back to my old way of living. And dr.Taylor proves it here 👍So no more doubts-the good side of the story. But the more positive of all is I do not want to go back to those long party nights with a lot of buzz and endless snacking of crap processed foods. the best thing about this video was (in my opinion) that the doctor did not mention any medicine to help in this process. This is actually the perfect formula to cure almost all diseases - food should be your medicine. Food, proper diet, and fasting, at least one day a week.Blessings to all and stay healthy-never give up, dudes.If I could make it at the age of 71, so you can too 💪

I think it's important to mentioned that resistance training/cardio daily in combination with the diet is basically the magic bullet we're all looking for, because "weight" is a bit of a misnomer. When we speak of "losing weight" what we actually mean is body composition; losing the fat that's layers on top of layers around our organs and on top of our muscle.

This channel is a gold mine. Thank you. Hope this video gets more popular. Really motivated me to lose the weight I put on from meds.

Please do not stop making videos on this channel! You are really helping people!

Because of Gil and his super simple approach to nutrition I've started eating a whole food based healthy and simple diet. It has been three months, my BMI was okay before but after changing my diet I've dropped a couple of pounds and I love eating now, without guilt, delicious and simple. And I feel awesome.
Thank You!

I think when we talk about 'weight' from the start it's really important to be clear that we mean fat mass and not muscle mass. Retaining muscle mass is so important especially as we age, and any drastic calorie reduction without supporting protein & exercise will most probably lead to detrimental muscle mass loss alongside the fat mass. "Don't try and exercise it away.." is not the ideal message imo.

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in January. When I watched this video I March - I was already doing 800 cal diet for 2 months. In 3 months I lost around 50 lbs. My diabetes is now reversed/in remission. My A1C went from 6.8 to 5.2 in 3 months. It works! More people need to know about it.

[BetterMe]

He is soooo right about the exercise as older and heavier. At this point, the food is the most important thing in getting then weight down initially. Take a short walk everyday, and slowly build from there.

I've been prediabetic for 13 years. About 3 months ago I changed my diet and I've lost 10 pounds. I can see the difference . Even my skin is beginning to look better. I use to weigh 183 and I have gone down to 173. My goal is to go down between 165-170. My morning glucose reading average is about 88 now instead of 103. I wish I had known this personal fat threshold thing 13 years ago. It has been a little difficult giving up the breads, the cereals, and all the other sugary stuff.

Compelling and practical information for reversing Type 2 Diabetes. The greatest challenge is how to sustain a calorie restricted diet for life without effort and not falling into the Yo-Yo Weight Watches cycle. It’s possible that the book mentioned shows how. However it has been proved that a Low Carb Lifestyle in which one gets predominantly into Nutritional Ketosis (can be achieved in vegetarian diets as well) elegantly resolves this key problem and adds further benefits that are close to miraculous. Currently several renown individuals are known to be in nutritional Ketosis for 20+ years and Dr Richard Bernstein, who discovered and promotes nutritional Ketosis for Type-1 Diabetics, being one himself, has practiced it for 50 years and is now 89 years of age.

You are the most likable guy on YouTube. Period.

This deserves more views. This is huge hope for millions who struggle with T2D. Thanks bro. This will be useful to bring to my community
