- So you have type two diabetes and you've heard
from a friend or a family member, or maybe from a rumor
on the internet that you can reverse your type two diabetes
with just a few simple changes in your diet.
That's actually true, it's not just a rumor.
And in this video I'm gonna tell you
five easy steps that you can start today
to reverse your type two diabetes
within the next few months.
I'm Dr. Ken Berry, a family physician
with over 20 years of clinical experience,
and it's time to reverse your type two diabetes.
But first, let's get some misconceptions out of the way.
First and foremost, I'm not about
to try to sell you anything
in this video, you can do this for free.
You don't need to buy anything from me
or click on any links or do any of that stuff
to absolutely reverse your type two diabetes
and keep it reversed for the rest of your life.
You don't need to buy any products whatsoever.
You don't need any prescription medications, either pills
or insulin injections, to reverse your type two diabetes.
One more misconception or myth
or lie that you may have been told.
You may have even been told this by your doctor
or your dietician, is that type two diabetes
is a chronic progressive condition
that you're stuck with for the rest of your life,
that's just gonna keep getting worse and worse.
This is absolutely not true.
And I'm in the process of renaming this condition,
and we're gonna start calling it
chronic carbohydrate overdose syndrome.
And because you call it that,
it takes away the mystery, oh, I have type two diabetes.
I don't know why, it must be genetic maybe,
maybe, I don't know,
maybe I was born on the wrong day of the week.
No, it's none of that.
You have type two diabetes
because of chronic carbohydrate overdose syndrome.
That's what it is, and so, also the hint
to reversing it is actually now in the name.
And so that makes it much easier
for just regular people to comprehend what's going on
and also immediately see the solution for type two diabetes.
Having type two diabetes is not your fault
but it absolutely is your problem.
And so you need to pay careful attention
to these five easy steps.
Maybe write them down, maybe watch this video a second time,
so that you can do this yourself at home for free.
There are a few simple lab tests that you can get ordered.
Not only to find out how bad
your type two diabetes is right now,
so you can actually see those numbers go down over time
and know that you are having a meaningful impact
on your type two diabetes,
that you are in fact reversing it.
I'm gonna tell you what those labs are.
But first I'm gonna tell you the five easy steps
that you can use to reverse your type two diabetes.
Step number one is you need to stop all sugars,
whether added sugars or naturally occurring sugars.
And so obviously, anything that has an added sugar,
either that you added or that the big food manufacturer
added the sugar to, you need to stop eating those things.
They're actually, they're not really food,
they're products that are made in a factory
that you're then convinced that are food
and they're gonna spike your blood sugar,
which is gonna raise your insulin
and you will never ever reverse
your type two diabetes eating these things.
Number two is, you've gotta stop eating all grains.
Now the most common culprits are wheat,
corn, oats and rice.
These are the big guys, but really any grain
is gonna be too high in carbohydrates.
Now what you obviously, as a type two diabetic,
you know that if you eat sugar, your blood sugar goes up
and then your pancreas has to deal with that.
But what you may not know, what many people don't know,
is that any grain, rice, oats, wheat,
corn, amaranth, millet quinoa, any of these,
they convert immediately into sugar,
even before you swallow them.
The amylase, which is an enzyme in your mouth,
starts to break down the starches
into sugar in your mouth before you even swallow them.
So by the time they get to your stomach,
they've turned into what they really are, which is sugar.
Step three is to remove all vegetable oils
from your diet, canola oil, soybean oil,
sunflower, safflower, peanut oil, corn oil, cotton seed oil.
All of these guys are inflammatory in nature.
They have a very high Omega six to Omega three ratio
but they also oxidize very rapidly
when you cook with them and also in your body.
And many authorities, many experts believe
that they also contribute to the pathology
or the pathophysiology
that ultimately leaves you with type two diabetes.
Step four, is to include lots of fatty meat in your diet.
Fat and protein don't raise your blood sugar
any meaningful degree.
They also don't raise your insulin level
to any meaningful degree.
So you can get away with eating lots of fatty meat,
which is fat and protein, plus tons of vitamins and minerals
because meat is full of those.
And you're not gonna be raising your blood sugar
or your insulin in a pathological manner.
Step five is to get any carbohydrates you do eat
from above ground, non starchy vegetables.
Okay, some people can reverse their type two diabetes
by eating 100 total grams or less each day.
Some people have to tighten this up more
and need only 50 total grams of carbohydrates each day.
Some people like me, have to eat 20 total grams a day
or even less, to reverse
and keep their type two diabetes reversed.
It may sound like torture right now,
for you to eat a low carbohydrate diet like this.
But I promise you, the true torture comes later in life
if you continue to allow your type two diabetes to exist
and to get worse, that's when the true torture will begin.
Just ask any type two diabetic, who's been type two for 30
or 40 years, and you will understand what true torture is.
Keep in mind these five easy steps,
they work for pre-diabetes as well.
And they'll also help type one diabetics
be able to use much, much less insulin,
therefore saving lots of money.
And it will also allow a type one diabetic
to have a normal hemoglobin A1C, that's a lab test.
Now, since I brought up lab tests, let me tell you
about the lab tests that you need to ask your doctor for,
so that you can monitor how well you're doing
on the journey of reversing your type two diabetes.
You want a fasting glucose, for sure.
You also want a hemoglobin A1C.
That's gonna give you a three-month average
of what your blood sugar's been doing.
Many doctors stop right there and they don't realize
that having chronically high insulin levels is just as bad
and just as unhealthy and just as pathological
as having a chronically high blood sugar level.
So you're also gonna get a C-peptide
and a fasting insulin checked.
These are gonna tell you if you're eating low carb enough
to completely reverse your type two diabetes
and to keep it in remission
or to keep it reversed or to keep you cured.
However you wanna say it,
I think that if you reverse your type two diabetes,
you've earned the right
to call it whatever you wanna call it.
Using these five easy steps,
many people can reverse their type two diabetes
in a month or two months.
Some people who have been type two diabetic for longer
or who have a harder time giving up
all the carbohydrates, might take two to six months
to completely reverse their type two diabetes.
But when you understand that type two diabetes
is actually just chronic carbohydrate overdose syndrome.
You'll understand, and so if your A1C
gets better as you cut the carbohydrates
but it doesn't go all the way back to normal,
because that's my goal for you,
my goal for you is for you to have
a hemoglobin A1C of 5.6 or less.
I don't even want you to be pre-diabetic.
I want you to have a normal A1C and a normal C-peptide.
That is the sweet spot where you're truly healthy
and the possibility of having a long health span
and a long lifespan, are within your grasp.
I have hundreds of videos on this YouTube channel
that will help you reverse your type two diabetes.
If you love veggies, and you wanna include
some in your diet, then check out my keto 101 playlist,
I'll put a link either here or here
at the end of this video, if you would just be happy
eating meat and eggs and cheese and nothing else,
then check out my carnivore 101 playlist.
If you eat low carbohydrate enough on either one of these,
you're gonna reverse your type two diabetes
and in the process, you're gonna actually improve
other conditions that I'm not gonna go into on this video.
But I have other videos on this channel
about other medical conditions
that get better when you eat what I consider
to be a low carbohydrate, proper human diet.
If you'd like I have to join my army of little Davids,
who are fighting the huge Goliath's
of big food and big pharma, then consider becoming a patron.
There's a Patreon link down below.
It's a quick sign-up.
You can throw a buck or two my way so that I have more time
and resources to make videos just like this
to help other people understand you can reverse
many of the chronic medical diseases
that you thought you were stuck with for life.
This is Dr. Berry, I'll see you next time.
