Fat Fasts and Managing Diabetes
True Fat Fasts help you successfully manage diabetes.
My personal daily goal: Obtain and maintain truly normal blood sugars. Note: I am content to eat, play and LIVE as I do today… for the rest of my life. But I LOVE to experiment! And if I can help others find a means to improve their insulin sensitivity and improve their blood sugar levels, …
I have recommended water only fasting, intermittent fasting and fat fasts for years. This is especially true if you experience a weight loss stall or a stall in reducing blood sugar levels into normal ranges.
That’s ironic when you think about it. Almost all diabetics have elevated blood sugars (above non-diabetic normal blood sugars) and I had to end an experiment due to low blood sugars.
There is a lesson there, if you are paying attention.
If you have elevated blood sugars or are experiencing a weight loss stall, try a coconut oil fat fast!
I am going to make an effort to ‘dial in’ the Snake Diet’s, Muscle Building fasting routine. I really think it’s important to incorporate fasting into your ‘lifestyle’. There are many health benefits in addition to weight loss.

Question: Why doesn’t the American Diabetes Association or the American Association of Diabetes Educators promote fasting as a means to reduce blood sugars?
I think we know… Greed, intellectual laziness, willful ignorance or all of the above.

Why consume such so much protein? I’ve been fasting to attempt to heal my body of insulin resistance and I wanted to give my body a serious test. I consumed 8 times the protein recommendations, I think that’s a serious test. :)
Cole dishes out ‘buffet style’ tough love. He is getting results and changing lives for the better. He’s not for everyone … will his ‘to some’, offensive deliver offend you? …or trigger you to affect real change in your life?
The choice is up to you.
If you have reached a weight-loss or fat-loss stall, give it a try. You have nothing to lose… but the fat. :)
This is almost effortless weight/fat loss.
For decades ‘nutritional science’ has been little more than the marketing arm for Big Food and Big Pharma. It’s time for true science to rule the day and to remove Big Food and Big Pharma’s influence.

Fact: a high fat, moderate protein, very low carb paleo meal plan can keep the doctor away. I’ve not seen a doctor due to diabetes or any illness in almost 8 years. Winning! :)
Intermittent fasting is diabetes friendly. Why? Because removing the dietary fuel for elevated blood sugars will eventually cause your blood sugars to decrease, requiring less insulin, allowing your pancreas to rest.
