Time restricted eating is an eating pattern where you intentionally cycle between periods of eating and not eating. In other words, you will eat during specific hours of the day and outside of this period, you will fast. Cycling between fasting and eating can help you lose weight, while also providing flexibility and saving you time (and even a little money while you’re at it).

Reading food labels isn’t as complicated as you may think. It’s especially useful when you have type 2 diabetes. But how do you decode ingredients and percentages on the back of a package? From calories to fiber, fat, salt, sugar and total carbohydrates, every little detail counts.

Reducing the total amount of carbohydrates you consume is an effective way to improve blood glucose levels (nice!). This is especially true for those with type 2 diabetes who’d like to improve their time in range or reduce medications.
