Some of the most remarkable reversals of type 2 diabetes are accomplished through very low-fat eating plans or vegan, raw foods eating plans. These all-plant eating plans for diabetics reliably reverse type 2 diabetes in as little as two weeks. Many diabetics can’t control their blood sugars even with medication when they first begin their usual treatment plan.

Then within a few weeks of a low-fat eating plan, their blood sugars are in good control often without any medication being required. But the low-fat eating plans that really work for type 2 diabetics are very specialized and require careful planning.

Fat Is Essential: Fat in food is feared; unfortunately it’s mere presence has been known to inflict guilt on many people. The latest studies though are showing that some fats actually have a protective effect on your body. Low-fat is not the same as no-fat. Your body uses some of the fats released from food to make hormones. The n-6 essential fatty acids become hormones that your body uses to induce inflammation. This inflammation process is useful when it is used to stop a blood vessel from leaking or for activating your immune system to fight an infection.

There are also smaller n-3 essential fatty acids which your body uses to make the hormones that actually stop inflammation. These hormones instruct your:

• blood vessels to relax
• skin to lose its wrinkles
• immune system to stop any reddening, irritation, pain, and inflammation

Fat is Needed by Everyone: Both kinds of fat are needed by everyone but the tricky part is knowing just how much is needed by the person with type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately most people get far too much of the n-6 essential fatty acids and this increases your risk for several chronic problems and weight gain. These include the fatty acids found in:

• margarine
• lard
• corn oil
• soybean oil
• meat
• butter.

Removing these fats from your eating plan will stop the root cause of type 2 diabetes, inflammation. Inflammation slowly destroys the insulin-producing beta cells of your pancreas… so stop the inflammation and you will stop the destruction of these cells!

How Much Healthy Fat Is Enough: Although some people on successful diabetes reversal diets do well with no fat at all for several weeks, a little bit of fat is fine. Eating no fat at all is something very few people accomplish in the real-world. It is almost impossible to find anyone who is deficient in n-6 essential fatty acids; but you really need to make sure you get a sufficient amount of the valuable anti-inflammatory n-3’s

Where do you find n-3 fatty acids? Your body’s actual fat requirement is minuscule… so eating a small amount, a handful of:

• almonds
• pecans
• walnuts

will give you your n-3 fatty acids each day. Or add up to two tablespoons of almond, grapeseed, olive or walnut oil to your salads or vegetables.

It is best to avoid sunflower oil as it is a source of the pro-inflammatory n-6 essential fatty acids… as are canola and corn oil.
