Just like Jamie and Adam did with urban legends and ancient stories on the Discovery channel, we are BUSTING myths commonly associated with diabetes and food.
The winning phrase of this episode is: "DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE" and just like we said on episodes 13 and 15, always read the ingredients' list of the food and beverages you consume.
GOLD MEDAL QUOTES
“Too much sugar will increase the need for insulin. Either naturally produced insulin or if you have to inject it”.
“We need to understand what is working and what is not working before we put claim to fame, on overdoing it with fruits or other diets that you’re trying”
“Snacks and desserts should not be part of the mainstay of your diet”
ABOUT KETO DIET: these are two important questions you should consider asking yourself before jumping into this diet
What are the fats that you are choosing and do you have a gallbladder?
“Anyone before handing you a list of foods to eat, better ask you a whole list of questions. Otherwise they know nothing about you”
