WHY INTERMITTENT FASTING HELPS IN REVERSING DIABETES IN LOW CARB DIET

Why should a diabetic FAST? Fasting lowers insulin levels and allows the body to use stored energy, which can improve insulin sensitivity over time.

•Approach: Strategies might include time-restricted eating (e.g., 16:8 fasting) or occasional extended fasts (24–72 hours).

ABOUT FASTING;

If you are:

• Below 30 years: Eat 2MAD between noon and sunset. First meal at 2PM and last meal at 7PM. Your diet should answer the W questions.

• 30 years - 35 years: Eat 2MAD between 3 pm and 7 pm.

• 35 years and above: Eat OMAD between 4 pm and 6 pm.

As you age, your metabolic machinery slows down, and your hormones decline.

Your gut slugs and the gut bacteria translocate to other body tissues.

Don't load your metabolism, hormones, and gut with unnecessary meals.

Most people eat 3 meals+ because they are bored, idle, or because it is a cultural conditioning.

In addition, embrace,

• Weekly fasting, — 48 hours,

• Monthly fasting, — 72 hours,

• Yearly fasting, — 120 hours.

This is how to achieve optimal health status free from hospital slavery.

PS: If you still believe fasting cause ulcers then you are still a slave. Continue suffering.

KEY : OMAD is One Meal A Day while 2MAD is 2 Meals A Day.

If you find it challenging to start OMAD,

• Start with 2MAD (Two Meals A Day)

• But ensure it is clean. Don't eat anything available and make sure it's cooked well with right ingredients.

First meal at 12 PM, last meal by 7 PM.

Then, in the 4th WEEK, push the first meal to 2 PM and the last meal to 6 PM.

Then, at the 6th WEEK, push the first meal to 3 PM and the last meal to 5 PM.

Then, at the 8th WEEK, go OMAD between 2 PM and 4 PM, and never look back.

FRUITS ( Mangos)

A mango (Modern fruit) has 46 grams of sugar.

1 teaspoon of sugar has 4 grams of sugar. Therefore one of these mango has approximately 12 teaspoons of sugar.

Then you find a doctor or a nutritionist advising patients with fatty liver, diabetes and hypertension how they should “eat alot of fruits” to “get vitamins “

Then they wonder why the blood sugar and the blood pressure continue showing high figures despite being on medicine religiously.

What you should know:

- Modern fruits have no fibre.

- Modern fruits have no nutrients.

- Modern fruits are genetically engineered therefore they are not natural.

- Modern fruits are not seasonal, therefore not natural.

- Modern fruits have copious amounts of fructose sugar, therefore not safe for your gut and liver.

- People who insist on eating these modern fruits are addicted to sugar and therefore think the sugar in fruits is safe.

- There is nothing like “natural sugar”. Sugar is just sugar. Same molecules. Same metabolic pathways. Same consequences.

- People suffering from metabolic ailments like hypertension, diabetes, and cancer should stay away from fruits.

Bonus:

Fruits don’t tilt your glycemic index ( raising blood sugar) because fructose sugar is not like glucose which is easily availed to the metabolic receptors.

Fructose is ONLY metabolized in the liver where it is converted to triglycerides leading to a fatty liver or uric acid leading to gout.

PS: There is no natural sugar or artificial sugar.

Sugar is sugar.

Once it gets into the body it becomes glucose or fructose or galactose irrespective of the form or the source. The body doesn’t say;

“Hello boss, welcome to the body, you are sugar from fruits or milk, go that way in heaven.”

Or

“You! You are a culprit, a sinner, sugar from sodas, go that way to hell.”

Once sugar lands in the body it follows its pathway to metabolism or storage.

Fructose goes to the liver for metabolism and conversion to triglycerides.

Glucose and galactose goes into cells for glycolysis or glycogenesis.

One thing that keeps bothering me is how insulin resistance is still being discussed as if it starts in the pancreas.

That framing is not only incomplete, it delays real prevention.

As longevists, this is obvious to us because, insulin resistance is not a pancreatic disease first, it is an inflammatory disease first.

The pancreas only shows up later, after years of damage elsewhere.

So where does it really begin?

In the gut. In the immune system. In chronic, low-grade inflammation that quietly disrupts insulin signaling long before blood sugar “numbers” look abnormal.

Here’s the upstream biology most contemporary clinicians miss.

Insulin works by binding to receptors on cells and triggering intracellular signaling cascades that allow glucose to enter the cell.

Chronic inflammation interferes with this signaling through cytokines like TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP, which blunt insulin receptor sensitivity at the cellular level.

Long before the pancreas struggles to compensate by pumping out more insulin, the cells have already stopped listening.

Why does inflammation rise in the first place?

Gut dysfunction.

A damaged gut barrier allows endotoxins like lipopolysaccharides (LPS) to leak into circulation, activating the immune system daily. This state, metabolic endotoxemia, keeps the body inflamed even when you “feel fine.”

Now ask yourself the uncomfortable question, what is damaging the gut so consistently?

Ultra-processed foods.

Excess refined carbohydrates.

Added sugars.

Industrial seed oils.

These are not neutral calories.

They alter the gut microbiome, reduce microbial diversity, thin the mucus layer, and weaken tight junctions.

Once the gut becomes permeable, inflammation becomes the default state. And once inflammation is chronic, insulin resistance becomes inevitable. Treating this by blaming the pancreas or rushing to glucose-lowering drugs without addressing gut health is like blaming the fire alarm for the fire.

This is where mainstream care gets it wrong.

The focus is classically REACTIVE - fasting glucose, HbA1c, insulin shots, metformin.

Meantime, no one asks early enough, why is the gut inflamed?

Why are immune pathways constantly activated?

Why are cells metabolically deaf?

Insulin resistance is not a sudden failure, it is a long biological protest. And until we stop feeding the inflammation that drives it, we will keep managing symptoms instead of restoring metabolic intelligence.
