Could this simple trick be the secret to reversing type 2 diabetes?

Could one simple trick or change be the secret to reversing type 2 diabetes?

If you are anything like me, you are sick and tired of these “too good to be true” headlines. Am I right? In today’s video, I talk about an actual simple “trick” that could very well prove to be the “secret” to reversing type 2 diabetes.

I have been doing research and one of the books I have been using is How Not to Die by Michael Greger, MD. Chapter 6 of the book is simply titled, How Not to Die from Diabetes. The chapter is fairly short—26 pages long—but it covers a wide range of diabetes issues including the “secret” to reversing type 2 diabetes.

The Secret

There really is no secret. Plant-based diets have long proven to be a very effective way to “fix” a lot of physical ailments including type 2 diabetes.

The only real secret is how to switch from the Standard American Diet (SAD) to a plant-based diet filled with fruits and vegetables.

Because the SAD diet is so deeply ingrained, embedded, if you will, within us, it can be super difficult to change to a plant-based diet.

For me, the secret is slowly adding in fruits and vegetables. I already enjoy most of them, so that part isn’t difficult. What is difficult is cutting out most of the sweets and fats that are a big part of my diet. This is the area I have to work on the hardest.

I am a big “meat and potato” girl. Cutting down on meat is a huge thing for me. I grew up on a farm. We lived on meat. While it seems like it would be easy to do this, having lived with meat as a big part of my diet for 50+ years, cutting it out or even reducing the amount of meat I eat is going to be tricky.

I am not saying that cutting meat out entirely is the key, I believe that there is something to clean vegetarian-style eating.

Today’s Video

I hope you like the video today. I talk more about the “secret” of plant-based eating.
