SugarByHalfA Fat Lot of Good by Dr Peter Brukner - 9780143787730 - DymocksPeter is also the founder of Defeat Diabetes, Australia's first evidence-based and doctor-led program that focuses on the wide range of health benefits of a low carb lifestyle, particularly for those wanting to send into remission pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic illnesses. The Defeat Diabetes Program is delivered via a mobile app and website. It provides 100+ hours of video from health professionals, masterclasses, cooking demonstrations, recipes, a meal planner, and a rich library of resources, with new content regularly added.
Defeat DiabetesAfter being in Remission from my T2D diagnosis for two years before Defeat Diabetes Australia was established, I decided to join their membership, and I now receive regular information, support and tasty recipes, that has helped me to continue in Remission to date.
After just a couple of years in existence, their latest subscriber survey has revealed that 53% of their 8000 plus members have achieved total Remission from their T2D condition.
During my Remission from T2D, I clearly improved lots of my regular health markers, including a 30kg weight loss (sustained), blood pressure and cholesterol (returned to normal levels), fatty liver (gone), arthritis pain in my knee (gone), with no medications needed.
Therefore, it is of absolutely no surprise to me that a low carb, ketogenic or Mediterranean way of eating has been recognised during the past hundred years, to have had positive outcomes for some people living with some chronic diseases.
Prof. Brukner updates the conference audience about recognised and relevant trials and studies completed and currently underway, that reflect exciting and positive prospects for the future.
I hope you find this video informative.
