What benefits can your patients or clients expect?
Improved blood glucose levels
Carbohydrate restricted eating tends to improve blood sugar levels almost immediately. This is because carbohydrates restriction limits glucose entering the blood.
Better sleep
Weight loss can ease symptoms of sleep apnoea, meaning patients and clients shouldn't wake so easily in the night. Improved sleep contributes to better energy and mental health.
Weight loss
Therapeutic carbohydrate restriction leads to weight loss, improving appetite control, reduced consumption and increased energy expenditure, even at rest.
Reduced risk of arthritis
When you reduce carbohydrate intake, you reduce inflammation in the body. Reduced inflammation can lead to improvements in joint pain.
Reduced diabetes medications
By lowering blood glucose levels you may be able to reduce diabetic medications; as with all changes to diet, adjustments are required to a patient's medications.
Reduced reflux and heartburn
Research shows that low carbohydrate diets can reduce the amount of acid in the oesophagus and relieve symptoms of reflux that commonly affects people with type 2 diabetes.
The medical team leading the Defeat Diabetes Program
The Defeat Diabetes Program has been created by a team of medical professionals and is recommended by endocrinologists, orthopaedic surgeons, gastroenterologists, physiologists and diabetes educators.
