Suggested by Dr Pramod Tripathi, Founder, Freedom From Diabetes (FFD) Research Foundation.
Dr Pramod Tripathi is the founder of an organization called FREEDOM FROM DIABETES (FFD) based in Pune, India. In the last 5 years, FFD has helped more than 6000 diabetics who are today free from Insulin and/or tablets.
This post and video have been created after experiencing a range of Intermittent Fasting Protocols and the 2 meal plan as suggested in DDD; personally, by FFD mentors and seeing hundreds of diabetic patients who are following it.
6 Precautions to following the 2 Meal Plan/Dr. Dixit Diet – Diabetes Reversal:
1. RISE IN PP SUGARS, FOLLOWED BY HYPOGLYCEMIA (Drop in blood sugar below 70) IN DIABETICS ON INSULIN or STRONG MEDICINES (especially sulphonylureas – glimepiride, gliclazide e.g. GP1, Glimy, Reclide, Glizid)
2. TENDENCY TO OVEREAT WHICH INCREASES THE SUGAR (GLYCEMIC) LOAD:
SCIENTIFIC NOTE ON INSULIN SECRETION
Scientific fact is that insulin is secreted in proportion to the amount of glucose in the blood. According to WILLIAMS TEXTBOOK OF ENDOCRINOLOGY (Page 1394), 1.4 units of insulin is secreted for every 12 grams of oral glucose. This is approximately equal to 1 phulka which is 15 grams in weight and contains 80% carbohydrates i.e. 12 grams. So, if you eat two phulkas, approximately 2.8 units of insulin is secreted. For 3 phulkas 4.2 units and so on. Reducing the number of meals will help reduce insulin secretion is true. But overeating and overeating anything you like, in those meals, can increase your glycemic (sugar) load, insulin secretion and slow down your progress. Also, note that there is also a baseline secretion of insulin of approximately 0.7-1.3 unit per hour irrespective of food intake in healthy individuals. This helps the body manage its delicate balance of anabolic (bodybuilding) and catabolic (read as breaking) processes.
Further its essential to pay attention to food groups and the ratio proportion during a two meal intake. Otherwise, we cannot produce efficient, sustainable or even predictable results. It is essential to identify what foods we are eating and ensure we don’t eat unbalanced meals in terms of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
3. MISSING CHLOROPHYLL, MICRONUTRIENTS AND ENZYMES
4. FALLING INTO THE TEMPTATION OF DAIRY PRODUCTS
The overall number of diabetics who are free of medications conveys this point loud and clear. Dr Dixit claims 100+ diabetics free of medicines and 300-400 on reduced medications. FFD Protocol has over 5000+ free of medicines and 1000+ free of insulin. FFD’s recent research report published in the International Journal of Diabetes & Endocrinology states 54% free of all medications with hba1c below 7 within 12 weeks. And 68% free of insulin and tablets both. The data is of 259 diabetics. One of the important reasons why such phenomenal results have happened is because of stopping dairy.

5. RISE IN ACIDITY and SWEET CRAVINGS:
6. UNDERWEIGHT PEOPLE LOSING LEAN BODY MASS
A NOTE ON EXERCISE: Focus on STRENGTH BUILDING EXERCISES
Since walking is the most popularized form of exercise, most miss out on strengthening the muscles through anti-gravity exercises like Stair Climbing, Dr Mercola Nitric Oxide Dump, Resistance Band and Weight training. Between the age of 30-65, one must invest in some form of muscle strengthening exercise so that there increased muscle size, which can burn more fat and glucose at rest. Make you fitter and stronger to lead a healthier life till 100 and beyond!
FINAL NOTE OF CLARIFICATION:
It’s but natural when two systems are popular and giving benefits there would be a comparison. Many people have experimented with both and arrived at one’s own truth based on real experience. Here is a final note to put things into perspective for all readers, followers, experimenters and health enthusiasts…
Dr Dixit’s work is organized as a social service for the masses, focused on giving lectures to educate and inspire them. It is run free of any charges and many have reported definite benefits. We sincerely appreciate this work!
Freedom from Diabetes is an organization that specializes in diabetes reversal and the creation of healthier families. It is organized as a transformational experience generating organization, focused on conducting residential and non-residential workshops with year-long medical support with doctors and diet, exercise and stress-related experts so that diabetics reverse completely and pass the Glucose Tolerance Test.
