Hello and welcome back to this Q&A episode of the ESG Fitness Podcast that I think I'm going to end up doing like four parts

But here we are right. Okay, so oh note to self. I got here great

Okay, Leanne I'm on a lower carb diet plan and therefore believe your and therefore believe your support of a lower carb

slash higher fat diet in order to bring down my blood sugar levels while maintaining our

protein targets. I have a few questions if I may please. Now Leanne and I actually had a

bit of discussion about this on the mastermind. You do not necessarily have to go low carb if you have high blood sugar levels.

So if you're like pre-diabetic or diabetic.

In fact, there is loads of research to show that you can reverse type 2 diabetes on a higher

carb diet.

The key being loss of body fat, right? So it's a little bit too simplistic to be like you just need to cut out carbs, but it is one tool that you can use and is often quite useful for people, partly because of the satiating effect that tends to come with lower carb diets.

With that caveat, I shall continue. So the first question

she has is how long should I be eating like this for and how quickly can someone bring down

their blood sugar levels? Is this a further thing? Is it a few months thing? So this is a really

good question because if you cut out carbs, you will bring down your blood sugar levels quite quickly.

Now, this can be a bit confusing people because then you're like, oh right, well,

brought blood sugar levels down, cool, fix the problem.

You're still not able to handle carbohydrates very well, right?

So what happens when you lose body fat is you become more sensitive to insulin again,

which allows you to handle more carbohydrates.

Like cutting out carbs is almost just like avoiding the problem, unless cutting out carbs also creates a deficit and also helps you lose body fat.

So it's really the body fat loss. So you are thinking like, yeah, it might be a few months until you

lose enough body fat to then become more insulin sensitive to then handle more carbs. Thus, you
