DIABETIC CURE and Treatment
What the U.S. failed to understand was that in order to store this fat you need insulin. People who are overweight, especially in the belly, have way too much insulin in their system. They have not only the overproduction of insulin from the pancreas, but the insulin stored in the fat tissue in their body. So it becomes a cycle.
Insulin tells your brain to crave more carbs, and the more carbs you eat the more insulin you need. No matter how much fat you cut out of your diet, you will continue to be overweight until you fix the insulin issue. Fat (actually it is the ketone bodies the fatty acids are converted to by the liver) is actually a great source of fuel for the body, once you've switched over your metabolism.Once you cut the carbs to a certain level (5 grams or less per day) your body enters a state of ketosis. Ketosis is NOT dangerous if you go through it correctly. Ketosis is a normal healthy state of the human body.
Ketoacidosis is the one that is dangerous. This happens in diabetic people where their body can no longer use its insulin at all, so even though you technically have a dangerously high blood sugar, your body can't use any of that glucose for fuel because the insulin has to work in order for the sugar to be driven into the cells for energy. This is when you have to either begin taking insulin shots, or die.Contrary to popular belief this diet does NOT induce long term ketosis.
Only the few of us who are strictly carnivore can testify to this, but the body adapts to the ketones anywhere from 2-3 weeks to a few months from the day you drop carbohydrates. Your body begins using the ketones for fuel instead of converting blood sugar to fatty acids. The few parts of the brain that require straight blood glucose get a steady, very controlled supply as the liver converts protein and fat into glucose through gluconeogenesis.
This is always tightly controlled, as your blood sugar will never vary on this diet. Your body will only convert what it needs to survive which is about 5 grams of glucose per day.
