EventsThe perfect treatment for diabetes and weight loss
in About membership, Diabetes, Intermittent fasting, Low carb & high fat, Weight loss What is the perfect treatment for type 2 diabetes – and for weight loss? Many people would say a strict LCHF diet – I would have said that myself, at one time. But that may just be a good start.
Many readers have told me about the Canadian nephrologist Dr. Jason Fung and his exciting work. But it was only recently that I got to meet him and record this interview.
Dr. Fung
Dr. Fung treats people with severe type 2 diabetes, and to them LCHF may not be effective enough – even if it’s a good starting point. Dr. Fung has found something significantly more effective. And as a side effect it’s also likely to be the world’s most effective method for weight loss, whether you have diabetes or not.
In this 12 minute interview – that you can see above – he goes through all the basics.
Observe: This treatment is extremely effective. If you have diabetes and take blood sugar lowering medication (especially insulin injections) you may need to reduce the doses a lot to avoid potentially dangerous hypoglycemia. You may instantly become too healthy for your medication.
More knowledge
There is a 32 minute second part to the interview, where Dr. Fung goes through many more practical tips and answers common questions. This second part is on the membership pages (free one month trial):

George, be honorable and apologize for your hasty, wholly undeserved words of criticism.
I'm sorry to hear you feel that way.
These videos are not free to produce and my co-worker who travelled to the conference in South Africa to help record it and works full-time editing videos deserve a fair wage. As do I, perhaps. I'm sure you are paid at work too, right?
Personally as founder and owner I'm paid a doctor's salary like before. I have not been paid a single extra dollar during the seven years I've run this site and the earlier Swedish version (easy to control in public tax documents) nor do I plan to ever be paid more. I don't need it.
Our members make it possible to expand this site rapidly and do everything we can to help more people - with zero ties to corporate sponsorships, ads or special edible products. We take our credibility very seriously.
