PhoneBoy Says

@indigo Carbs impact blood sugar, which is important to control for as well, but isn't the real issue, insulin is. Specifically, for Type 2 Diabetics, is that's the body already has too much insulin.

Eating anything (including low-carb food) will cause insulin to spike. The insulin impact of particular types of food has not been studied very much. Fat in its purest form is about the only thing that won't cause a spike.

The only thing guaranteed to not spike insulin? Fasting.

@indigo I have to get my insulin levels under control. None of the conventional diabetes treatments address that problem. This seems to be doing that.

So apparently "PhoneBoy's Anchor" can be found in Google Play and Apple Podcasts. Anchor doesn't make it easy to find the RSS feed, but here it is: https://anchor.fm/s/da23c0/podcast/rss

@indigo agreed, which is why on days where I know I'm eating dinner, I'll skip breakfast and lunch.

@kdfrawg I'm not doing anything that secret on the Android devices. Just listening to podcasts and snarking on Twitter. :P

First time here be seen 100 in ages. Might be first legit 100 in years too. #bgnow

@matigo Thinking back at what I've eaten over the last several weeks compared to what I would regularly eat before I started down this "intermittent fasting" road, it's ridiculous how much food I was consuming and how often I was consuming it.

@matigo he says reversible. Which for most people is a distinction without a difference. Curable would mean I could eat all the sweets I want and not have any bad side effects. :P

@matigo it will be interesting to see what the price of the Nokia 8 is.

Dr. Fung's theory is Type 2 Diabetes is Reversible [medium.com] with diet alone. Trouble is: fasting just doesn't appeal to most people.
