If you’ve been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, you may feel like losing weight and controlling your blood sugar is an uphill battle. One of the biggest hidden obstacles? Sugary drinks. Sodas, sweet tea, lemonade, and even fruit juices flood your system with sugar, keeping insulin levels high and making it harder to burn fat.
In this episode of The Beating Diabetes Lifestyle Podcast, I share my personal journey of overcoming type 2 diabetes, starting with reducing and eventually cutting out sugary drinks. I’ll break down how liquid sugar affects your body, why it fuels insulin resistance, and how eliminating it helped me lose over 80 pounds and get off all medications.
But cutting sugary drinks is just the beginning. I’ll also introduce the role of intermittent fasting—one of the most effective tools for stabilizing blood sugar, lowering insulin levels, and making long-term weight loss sustainable.
If you’re ready to take control of your health, this episode will give you practical steps to start making real progress today.
