And the first thing that any good doctor will recommend is losing body fat.<\/p>\n
But a new study published in the latest Journal of Physiology<\/em> reveals that one of the most effective weight loss methods actually causes type-2 diabetes.<\/p>\n Swiss scientists divided mice into 2 groups: one group ate a diet high in both fat and carbohydrates, while the other group ate a diet that was only high in fat.<\/p>\n The second group was a replica of the popular Keto Diet.<\/p>\n Their tests found that, even though mice on the Keto Diet appeared healthy while in a fasting state, they actually displayed lower glucose tolerance than the high-fat, high-carbohydrate group.<\/p>\n After investigating further, they discovered that the livers of the Keto mice did not respond as well to insulin as they should have.<\/p>\n This is a state called insulin resistance, a major risk factor for diabetes.<\/p>\n Therefore, even if Keto is somewhat effective for losing weight (at least in the short run), it may be ruining your liver and causing type-2 diabetes in the long haul.<\/p>\n A better approach to losing weight is what I call \u201cthe third element of weight loss\u201d. It requires no diet or exercise\u2014just a simple technique that can be found here\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
