A plant-based ketogenic diet for Diabetes

In Episode 94 I sit down with Cyrus Khambatta, PhD and Robby Barbaro, MPH for a second episode - this time for a deep dive into the Plant Based Ketogenic diet and whether or not it is a good option for patients with insulin resistance and Diabetes. Specifically we cover: •The release of their new book Mastering Diabetes •Why a low carbohydrate diet is popular for diabetics and frequently recommenced by Doctors •Philosophy of the high carbohydrate Mastering Diabetes program •Improving both insulin resistance and your long term health at the same time •Weight loss and diabetes •Low carbohydrate diets are good at promoting weight loss but often negatively affect biomarkers of cardiovascular risk •A new 2019 study looking at a traditional Ketogenic Diet •Definition of reversing diabetes based on certain criteria •Can a Ketogenic diet truly reverse diabetes? •Difference between saturated fats and unsaturated fats when it comes to insulin resistance •A plant based ketogenic diet •Hegsted Equation and cholesterol •Medium Chain Triglycerides and cholesterol •Who may be well suited to a plant based ketogenic diet •and much more Whether you have diabetes or not this episode I think you will still find this episode interesting. Plus, with rates of Diabetes skyrocketing, particularly pre-diabetes and Type 2 diabetes, it's highly likely that most people listening know someone who is affected by this disease. Stick around to the end for my summary where I bring together the take home messages.
