A Mega-Trend…
15% of India’s population is now Prediabetic.
I have been reading abt this subject since last few months.
As its widely known its a progressive disease, that is if someone is a diabetic normally Drs starts with a basic drug like Metformin which helps our pancreas increase insulin secreation and this helps reduce glucose from our blood.
But overtime more and more amt of dosages of same or different drugs gets introduced to do so which finally goes down to injecting insulin as pancreas simply can’t make enough insulin itself. The major reasons for this metabolic disorder it seems is highly processed foods that we have in our day to day lives.
One of the ways to effectively manage this metabolic disorder is to go for a Low Carb High Protein High Fat diet.
This diet was first proposed by Dr. Richard Brenstein a 90yr endocrinologist who himeself was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 12 in 1946
Following a LCHF diet I have seen many people manage their T2 Diabetes with reduced/without the support of pills and some even reverse this condition.
What this diet says is to reduce/eliminate all the processed carbs (grains, sugars, cereals, juices, starches etc) from our diet.
and increase our reliance on more Proteins and Fats.
Since almost 40% of Indian population is Vegetarian, we rely more of our protein intake on Paneer, Curd, Daals etc which hardly helps to meet our daily protein intake. As a result, 65% of the population are protein deficient.
Over time I believe as LCHF diet gets more prominence in India and globally, demand for both Protein and Fat foods may increase exponentially.
