Pork and Diabetes
A high protein diet with regular, moderate pork intake and resistance exercise is an excellent way for sufferers of type 2 diabetes to lose weight, new research has found.
The research comes from the team that produced The CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet and has been released as part of Diabetes Australia’s National Diabetes Week.
The research was jointly funded by Australian Pork Limited and the Pork Cooperative Research Centre and published in a paper titled The role of Australian pork in improving thiamine status, heart disease risk factors and glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes.
High protein, low carb and exercise
It found that people with type 2 diabetes and are overweight or obese can benefit from a high protein, lower carbohydrate diet that includes regular pork intake in conjunction with resistance exercise.
Such a diet will deliver weight and fat loss results, the researchers found.
Researchers also found regular pork intake reduced risk factors associated with the disease.
