Hello Everyone and seasons greetings,
I stumbled on this site by accident after several OMAD related searches directed me here.
I am not only an old fart but a T2D in remission, achieving normal blood glucose levels, an HbA1c of 37 and a BMI of 22.5 through the keto diet and thankfully minimal exercise.
Having read a fair amount on intermittent fasting by Jason Fung and others I became increasingly convinced that T2D is reversible for most, but essentially if patients do their own research and stop listening to ill-informed doctors and dieticians who have literally been spoon-feeding the population with such wrongheaded protocols as the Healthy Eating Pyramid and Healthy Eating Plate which they regretably believe themselves. OMAD, on the other hand, makes good sense particularly where it might be based on a low carb / keto regimen.
Anyhow, pardon the pontificating but I am very impressed with the quality of the information on this site which I believe stems from the self control and adherence required to follow through on such a plan. As a member of one of the main UK diabetes sites I have been regularly dumb-founded by the postings of clearly ill people who report halving their doughnut and muffin intake and wonder why their blood glucose leves are sky high after porridge and two slices of toast.
Apologies for sounding like a pompous ass but I have yet to read any contributions in these forums that are remotely in this vein and I look forward to learning from you all.
