I recently had the honour to interview certified Banting coach and author Rita Venter from South Africa. We talked about the ins and outs of the Banting Diet!
Rita's enthusiasm and drive to help others is unparalleled! I have so much respect for what she does - I will definitely invite her again for a heartwarming chat!
Rita is one of the admins of Facebook's 17th largest group with 2.3 million members! All details are in the video description!
What struck me was Rita's pride in her group members who have taken charge of their health and achieved many incredible outcomes!
Here's the video! https://youtu.be/WvsmqjS3DUY
Please watch, and don't be shy to like and share!
🥰
▪️"You should bant* not because you hate your body, but because you love it."
▪️"I tell people they can't have certain foods not because those foods are bad, but because they are metabolically challenged!"
INCREDIBLE quotes from Rita Venter, one of South Africa's sweetest, most dedicated, most caring coaches!

"Urge Novo Nordisk to Continue Producing and Supplying Insulin Detemir (Levemir)"
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION www.change.org/p/urge-novo-nordisk-to-continue-pro…
"Novo Nordisk has announced it will stop producing Levemir (insulin detemir) in the United States by the end of 2024. This is deeply concerning. No other companies produce insulin detemir. If this is not available, it will have a significant negative impact on many people with diabetes.
The company cited as its reasons "global manufacturing issues, decreasing patient coverage, and because we are confident that patients in the U.S. will be able to find alternative treatments." This last phrase, regarding finding alternative treatments, is not currently going to happen in a satisfactory manner.
Levemir is a unique long-acting insulin that is well-suited for frequent adjustments in dosage as needed to account for exercise, hormones, or general insulin resistance/sensitivity. This flexibility makes it unlike the other long-acting insulins currently available.
Without Levemir, there will only be two basal/long acting insulin options:
Lantus (insulin glargine) and its biosimilars: Basaglar, Semglee, Rezvoglar, and Toujeo U300
Tresiba (insulin degludec).
In addition to the fact that these options are longer-acting and do not offer the flexibility in dosing that Levemir provides, both insulin glargine and insulin degludec have known side effects. If someone does not tolerate these two insulins, they will be forced to use an insulin pump, which entails a much higher monthly cost and has a large learning curve to operate--not to mention that some individuals would prefer not to use a pump due to activity level, skin issues, or other factors.
We urge Novo Nordisk, as a responsible pharmaceutical company dedicated to changing diabetes outcomes, not to discontinue supplying insulin detemir (Levemir). It's about preserving quality of life and ensuring that everyone has access to the medications they need.
Please sign this petition and join us in urging Novo Nordisk to continue supplying Levemir worldwide." - By Alison Smart, concerned parent and lead of the APIC advocacy group.

❤️❤️❤️Fabulous conversation with two parents who raised healthy, strong, athletic sons on a low carbohydrate, high protein diet!
▪️Their sons have type 1 diabetes.
▪️The 'side effect' of this diet - The boys have NORMAL blood sugars and HEALTHY a1c numbers!
▪️Were the boys forced to eat this way by their parents? Not at all! They UNDERSTOOD full well the importance of normal glycemia and were very happy to swap high carbohydrate foods with low carbohydrate ones and focus on PROTEIN (essential macronutrient for growth.)
▪️Did the boys turn out psychologically damaged? Did they end up with an eating disorder? Well, I'm going to stop now. These are stupid questions that we all know the answer to! (In case you're wondering, of course NOT!)
✅️Video will premiere on Sunday, 12 pm EST!
