It’s called 60, and it’s a 60-day challenge to reduce high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes, launched by Dr. Mehmet Oz on his The Dr Oz Show program.

A really interesting challenge, because before the launch it was tried by 60 diabetic Americans with incredible results. Weight loss of 3-4 kilos per month and reduction of blood sugar in all the volunteers involved.

This diabetic weight loss diet created by the nutritionists of Dr. Oz’s program has the great advantage of being very easy to follow. There is a list of foods to eat and a series of rules, stop.

Quantities are subjective, but I’ll give you an example scheme to start with.

Dcomedieta followed the challenge and the results of the volunteers, and decided to tell you about the slimming diet for diabetics 60 as a preview.
