Clinically proven to reduce reliance on medications.
“Dr Pedersen also points out the cost of The Diet Plate compared to other weight loss aids as being a one off investment and a quarter of to cost of a 6 month prescription to American weight loss drug Orlistat.”
Type II diabetes is on the increase with up to 60% of these cases being preventable or delayed through maintaining a healthy weight. The statistics of obesity are overwhelming with nearly two thirds of men and half of all women classified as overweight or obese. The Diet Plate offers a healthy and natural solution for men and women looking to manage their diabetes through diet and food portion control and become less reliant on their medication.
Most cases of Type II diabetes are a result of obesity of the sufferer and can be prevented. By losing excess weight, the symptoms and consequences of diabetes can be reduced significantly.
It doesn’t take a large amount of weight loss to obtain benefits. Even a few kilograms can significantly lower blood sugar levels. By achieving even conservative weight loss, many diabetes sufferers have been able to reduce their diabetes medications and insulin requirements completely with others achieving significant reversal of their diabetes when embarking on a weight loss campaign.
Dr Sue Pedersen of the University of Calgary has performed a clinical trial comparing the use of The Diet Plate as a portion control tool for weight loss and a control group who received usual diabetes care for a period of 6 months. The result was that the Diet Plate users managed conservative weight loss overall, with 16% of the group achieving at least 5% baseline weight loss. The outcome was a significant reduction in The Diet Plate group’s reliance on insulin and other medications.
Dr Pedersen concludes compared with usual care, the portion control toolstudied was effective in inducing weight loss. The portion control plate also enabled patients with diabetes mellitus to decrease their hypoglycemic medications without sacrificing glycemic control.
