Listen to episode 187:
"Cutting sugar helped reverse my diabetes": Dana
August 11, 2024
Dana stopped sugar - more specifically, white sugar and flour - in December of 2021.
In this episode, Dana tells how she was very addicted to sugar for 40 some years. Today, she recognizes that for her, it's better not to have any than to try to have a little.
It was when she was in the hospital in 2021 after an accident that Dana remembered that her grandmother had lost both her legs to diabetes. Dana herself had been diabetic since she was 40 and still didn't give up the sugar.
In fact, she even had a heart attack and bypass surgery when she was 50, and that still didn't help her give up sugar.
But then she thought: What if I've screwed up my life with this sugar? What if my leg doesn't heal?
In this episode, you'll hear how Dana finally became sugar free and reversed her diabetes. For Dana, being sugar free means that she tries not to eat any processed food.
She lost 85lbs when she cut sugar and flour. She also discovered intermittent fasting. Plus she walks every day.
And most of all, she feels good. In fact, Dana says that she didn't know what feeling good felt like.
She says she can live her life more honestly now because she's not hiding anything.
