Cure Prediabetes With A High-Protein Diet

I have long held the opinion, based on my decade of research, that the majority of people can lose weight most successfully with a protein-rich diet. The most satiating macronutrient is protein. It increases lean muscle mass, which in turn accelerates basal metabolic rate. In light of this, I wasn't surprised to see that a protein-rich diet was superior to both calorie restriction and intermittent fasting for weight loss in this recent study. [1] After 60 days, weight loss, body fat, body mass index, and waist circumference were significantly lower in the high-protein group. Additionally, their fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein levels all improved substantially.

In order to cure prediabetes you need to increase insulin sensitivity. Right? Yes. So, Let's see how you can achieve this goal with a high-protein animal-based diet.

1. A high-protein animal-based diet is disproportionately nutrient-dense. Therefore, your brain will not be deficient in essential macro and micronutrients. Consequently, your brain will not release hormones that signal hunger.

2. A protein-rich animal-based diet is very satiating. Therefore, you will not crave short after a meal.

3. Your pancreas does not secrete a large amount of insulin shortly after eating meat and eggs. This stops the roller coaster metabolism of sugar, frequent eating, and frequent insulin spikes. This way, you improve insulin sensitivity.

4. A high-protein animal-based diet promotes muscle growth, which speeds up your metabolism so that you burn fat even during the time you are not moving or exercising.

5. Intermittent fasting is of utmost importance when it comes to reversing diabetes. With a high-protein animal-based diet, you can eat only once or at most twice a day within a short eating window.

You do not need to be a scientist for what is comprehended by basic common sense.
