Dr. McDougall explains that our blood sugar rising after eating is a natural process that occurs to provide energy to the body. Complex carbohydrates, or sugar, is essential for certain organs such as the kidneys to function properly, and the body and brain prefer sugar as their primary source of fuel. Type 2 diabetics are often advised by conventional physicians to avoid starches in order to control their blood sugar levels. Unfortunately, this approach does not address the root cause of the problem, and continuing to consume foods that caused the illness will not lead to a cure. The only way to reverse Type 2 diabetes is by making dietary changes. At the 12-Day McDougall Program, participants have been able to reverse their Type 2 diabetes and stop taking medications in just a few days by adopting a new and healthier diet. “I’m glad I did it! It’s good to be off all medication and Dr. Lim’s ok to do that will make it easier to face my doctor!” – Ann C.
