Reversing T2 Diabetes With The Carnivore Diet

The carnivore diet is a high-fat, low to zero-carbohydrate diet that consists of eating only animal products, such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest that the carnivore diet can be helpful for people with type 2 diabetes to reduce their insulin dose or ultimately come off their insulin completely.

One study found that people with type 2 diabetes who followed a carnivore diet for 12 weeks experienced significant improvements in their blood sugar control, insulin sensitivity, and body weight. Another study found that people with type 2 diabetes who followed a carnivore diet for 24 weeks could reduce their medication by an average of 50%.

The carnivore diet is thought to help with diabetes by reducing insulin resistance and inflammation. Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body’s cells do not respond to the hormone insulin, which is responsible for helping glucose enter the cells. Inflammation is a process that can damage cells and tissues, and it is thought to play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes.

The carnivore diet is also thought to help with weight loss in some people, which can also improve blood sugar control. Weight loss can help to reduce insulin resistance and inflammation, and it can also help to improve the body’s ability to use insulin.

How To Make MEGA Carnivore Pigs In Blankets

Pigs in blankets are a traditional British Christmas food consisting of small sausages wrapped in streaky or back bacon. They are typically made with chipolata-style sausages, but you can use other sausages as long as you source the cleanest ones possible.

You can ask your local butcher if they make their own sausages. Most traditional butchers still make their own sausages on-site, so they may be happy to accommodate your needs if you ask for pure pork sausages with no added fillers as long as you buy a large enough quantity to make it worth their while.

If you love sausages, they can be one of the most difficult things to give up on a carnivore diet. Typically, British sausages are only around 50 to 60 per cent meat, with the rest comprising fillers such as wheat flour, rusk or potato flour.

We always say to do the best you can when sourcing sausages, and most UK supermarkets make their own at between 90 to 98 per cent meat with added pork fat, herbs and spices making up the difference.

However, if you really cannot tolerate added ingredients in your sausages, you could always make your own! You can buy home sausage-making kits from eBay and Amazon. Many Zero Carb Carnivore UK Facebook group members have successfully made some delicious homemade sausages.

What Are The Best Chopping Boards for Preparing Meat?

The best chopping board for meat preparation is made from a durable material that is easy to clean and sanitise. Some popular materials for chopping boards include plastic, wood, and bamboo.

Plastic chopping boards are generally considered a good option for raw meat, as they are easy to clean and sanitise. Plastic boards are also non-porous, meaning they will not absorb bacteria or odours. However, plastic boards can be more challenging to cut on than wooden or bamboo boards, which may not last as long.

An issue with plastic chopping boards is that they can dull knife blades. The harder the plastic material, the more likely it is to dull a knife blade. Plastic is more rigid than wood, so it is more likely to dull a knife blade than a wooden chopping board. However, the type of plastic and the quality of the knife blade will also affect how quickly the knife dulls.
