A study carried out by the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) Research
Group reveals that overweight people can reduce the risk of developing
Type 2 diabetes by 58 percent by reducing their weight combined with
an exercise program.

In the study performed by the US researchers and published in the
National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse (NDIC) in October 2008, a
total of 3,234 overweight people participated in a three-year diabetes
prevention program. The participants were segregated into three
groups: The first group, called the lifestyle intervention group,
received intensive training in diet, physical activity, and behavior
modification. By eating less fat and fewer calories and exercising for
a total of 150 minutes a week, they aimed to lose 7 percent of their
body weight and maintain that loss. The second group took the popular
anti-diabetic drug Metformin (850mg twice a day), and the third
receiving a placebo (an inert sugar-type pill labeled exactly like the
Metformin drug). The Metformin and placebo groups also received
information about diet and exercise but no intensive motivational
counseling. At the beginning there was also a fourth group receiving
the drug Troglitazone (Rezulin). This group was discontinued when it
was discovered that Rezulin has the potential to cause serious liver
damage.

After concluding the three-year prevention program, all participants
had access to ongoing lifestyle coaching and were frequently monitored
regarding their glucose blood levels over a period of ten years.

<b>Dieters gather the most benefit </b>
The study clearly shows that overweight people reducing their weight
by 7 percent, combined with a 30 minute daily exercise program,
achieve a reduction of developing Type 2 diabetes by 58 percent
compared with the people of the placebo group. Weight loss and
physical activity improve the body’s ability to use insulin and
process glucose and thus reduce the risk of developing diabetes. This
finding was true for both men and women and across all participating
ethnic groups. Weight reduction in particular was beneficial for
participants over 60 years who achieved this way a diabetes risk
reduction of 71 percent.

The group applying Metformin also showed a significant diabetes 2 risk
reduction of 31 percent. Metformin was found to be most effective in
men and women between 25 and 44 years and in those with a body mass
index of 35 or higher (i.e. with at least 60 pounds overweight) and
least effective in people over 45 years old.

Further analysis of the data also have added to the evidence that
changes in diet and physical activity leading to weight loss not only
reduce diabetes risk but also risk of cardiovascular diseases,
including high blood pressure and metabolic syndrome. Participants in
the lifestyle intervention group who did not have metabolic syndrome
at the beginning of the study—about half of the participants—were less
likely to develop it than those in the other groups.

This study is one more proof of the importance of weight control and
physical exercises for personal wellness and good health. It clearly
shows that lifestyle factors (obesity and sedentary lifestyle) are
very important in triggering the genetic elements that cause Type 2
diabetes. People having somebody in the family suffering this disease
should pay special attention to these results and considering them as
a motivation for applying a rigorous weight control and routinely
physical training program.

That number would be 100 percent by losing the VAT by eating the right
amount (32 oz per day):

Wiser to simply eat the right amount (32 oz/day) of food.

Be hungrier, which truly is healthier especially for diabetics:

"That number would be 100 percent by losing the VAT by eating the right
amount (32 oz per day):"

Truth:

The two pound diet,aka 2pd etc. is quack science. It has flaws of both
fact and logic. It was invented to fit a preexisting agenda and does
not flow from evidence based on research. The diet inventor has many
times been appraised of his flaws but clings to them for reasons other
then science or valid medical practice


All of this nonsense of measure by weight or volume comes from the
agenda fitting, not well established research. But sadly even the
agenda is based on misunderstood and misapplied information. Even when
corrected, the author of the agenda for nothing but pride and vain face
saving can not deal with that truth.

The weight part came from a failed knowledge of a particular verse in
scripture. When shown to be wrong, he promptly said he had been given a
new interpretation to set the record straight. And of course this new
information led where the agenda demands.

Bottom line, ignore any reference to the two pound diet,aka 2 pd etc.
and stick with established information and sources of expert authorities
which do not include the vanity of vanity distorting reality in this
case.

There is a larger problem then misinformation obvious to anyone familiar
with the inventor's posts.

May God bless and protect and heal.

Actually, non-diabetic folks eating a suboptimal amount such as 0 oz
of food per day will surely die before developing type-2 diabetes.

This is an irrefutable fact.

Be hungrier, which truly is healthier especially for diabetics:

Nope, there are various methods of providing nutrition without people
having to "eat" it.

Just refuted.

Hunger is wonderful ! ! !

It's how we know the answer to the question "What does Jesus
want?" (WDJW):

http://WDJW.net

Yes, hunger is our knowledge of good versus evil that Adam and Eve
paid for with their and our immortal lives:

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med.cardiology/msg/52a3db8576495806?

Hunger is the physical "hearts burning within us" feeling that unlocks
the 4 mysteries of the "Road to Emmaus" adventure described in Luke
24:

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med.cardiology/msg/386f56c2f6d0b154?

Moreover, being hungrier is the key to being Jesus' disciples:

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med.cardiology/msg/bd20d7c4fe878897?

Being physically hungrier is how we will physically recognize Jesus
when He physically returns for us to meet Him physically in the air:

"Blessed are you who hunger NOW...
