Can a Paleo Diet Fight Diabetes and Restore Health?

A diet high in nutrient-dense, healthy fats, and grass fed meat, wild caught fish, free range chicken, and oodles of fresh, raw vegetables and fruits, is the best and healthiest way to regain your body’s natural balance, prevent diabetes, diabetes complications, cancer and related cardiovascular disease. Studies show it as an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes and other metabolic dysfunction. One study which compared the Paleo diet with the conventional diet recommended to diabetics found that the Paleo diet leads to more weight loss, stable blood sugar, lower triglycerides, lower blood pressure, and better body mass index.

This study compared a Paleo diet with a low-fat diet in obese, women and found that the Paleo diet led to greater fat loss and metabolic improvements than the low-fat diet. And this study found similar findings as well. The Paleo diet also decreased the amount of fat stored in the liver by 50%!

Paleo/Primal diets are also about adopting a simpler healthier lifestyle which includes sitting less, getting more high-intensity exercise, good sleep, and getting outside more. The “side effects” of following a Paleo diet include fat loss, more lean muscle, clear glowing skin, reduced aging, lower cholesterol, improved energy, better moods, better digestion and gut health, fewer allergies and inflammation, better joint health, improved immune function and increased insulin sensitivity.

Which do you want? Medication with unhealthy side effects and a lifelong dependence on the medical system or better health through a healthy Paleo diet?

As always, check with your doctor before starting or stopping any new treatment plan—including what I’ve suggested in this article. This is not intended to be medical advice and is not a substitute for being under the care of a physician.
