Recent research suggests that adopting a low-carbohydrate diet could significantly enhance beta-cell function in adults with mild type 2 diabetes, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for diabetes medications. Beta cells, located in the pancreas, play a crucial role in insulin production, which is essential for regulating blood sugar levels. This study highlights the importance of dietary choices in managing type 2 diabetes, a condition that affects approximately 10% of Americans, with the vast majority being type 2 cases.

During the Challenge 

Every week, beginning on November 4th, 2024, you will take a picture of your feet on your scale at home, and text it to 727-641-1679 or email to Joseph@ITGdiet.com. You must submit your new photo by each Friday to be eligible. If you will be out of town or unable to weigh at any time, please get in touch with Coach Joe immediately to arrange for an alternate day. 

Weekly Tracking 

To make the competition fair for everyone, ITG will use "percentage of body weight lost" for tracking, rather than number of pounds lost. The highest percentages lost by December 20th, 2024, will be tallied and winners announced the following week!

Winner's Results 

After all results are received on December 20th, 2024, ITG will contact the winners for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. We will get in touch via phone and/or email to give you more information on redeeming your reward! All other participants will receive a $10 reward code via email!

Nearly everyone experiences constipation at some point in life. Constipation is a symptom that can be caused by many factors and is defined as having a bowel movement 3 or less times in a week. Poor diet, dehydration, or a lack of exercise are very common culprits. Women typically experience constipation more often than men, especially on a ketogenic diet. This is due to hormones and how the digestive system slightly differs between the sexes. What can you do if you are experiencing constipation?
