The Diet For The Garden restricts methionine, an essential amino acid. Decreasing methionine causes our cells to use other, more calorie expensive pathways to make the things our bodies need like energy or ATP. Increasing energy expenditure increases calorie use and turns on our fat burning. This limits fat storage and limits adiposity. Because we are not storing fat, we are not becoming obese. If we are not obese, we aren’t suffering from insulin resistance, disordered lipid metabolism and inflammation.
Insulin resistance turns off our fat burning and methionine restriction turns it back on. This means if you are looking at losing a limb or your eyesight due to diabetes, don’t hesitate, jump now. The Diet For The Garden, when practiced properly, enhances insulin sensitivity and metabolic flexibility. It increases the adipocyte hormone, adiponectin and the liver hormone, fibroblast growth factor 21 to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. Methionine restriction produces a significant reduction in fasting insulin and blood glucose. Don’t forget, if you have a chronic disease, find a compassionate doctor to oversee your lab tests and progress. You will need to remember to evaluate and monitor your pharmaceuticals, especially insulin and blood pressure medications while changing your diet, weight and metabolism.
