1- Cinnamon to lower glucose link
I may have reversed my insulin resistance when I lost 80 lbs over a year with a low calorie diet and exercise. However I gained back 50 lbs over the following year after my marriage in June 2007 despite 2.5 hours exercise a day. I ate more fruit because I thought it was a healthy form of glucose. Problem is I ate too many cherries.
Started Atkins diet link.
Despite losing the 50 lbs I had gained back and exercising I was still insulin resistant.
Listening to Dr Bredesen's podcast on fasting with his co-author and AZ survivor I was surprised that they thought I could still reverse my insulin resistance.
I hoped that might be true is if got down to my prior low weight after the wedding of 200 lbs. I hoped to lose enough central belly fat that I could improve my adiponectin level. That has not happened. There is a final role of fat that I just can't seem to lose.
Role of central fat that seems permanent link
I suspect if I get cancer I might lose that role of fat but I will also suffer from severe sarcopenia (loss of muscle)
I have been in nutritional ketosis since I started Atkins around 2015. My levels are almost always over 0.5 and lately they are usually over 2.0 AM.
In the End of Alzheimer's Program on page 32:
"Restoring insulin sensitivity can be achieved by
1-KetoFLEX 12/3 diet
2- Key nutrient ZINC
3- Exercise
4- Reduce stress
5- Treat sleep apnea (I'm on CPAP)
And if needed:
6- Berberine
7- Cinnamon
8- Alpha lipoic acid: started a couple of months ago
9- Chromium picolinate
"Virtually all of us can become insulin sensitive using this approach"
I find this to be a very bold claim.
I have done most of the above.
Now I am willing to add cinnamon.
