They even showed that the only way to control this powerful hormone and reduce blood sugar was to control insulin by dietary means. \u00a0Their conclusion was that you must have <strong>30 percent proteins<\/strong>, <strong>30 percent fat<\/strong> (monounsaturated fats such as: olive oil, avocados, almonds etc.) and <strong>40 percent carbohydrates<\/strong> (foods that do not stimulate the pancreas to release large amounts of insulin) at every meal and snack.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">REMEMBER<\/span>: \u00a0You must control\/balance your diet to act as a drug to stop excessive insulin production<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">At Pondera we recreated our formula to be an <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">equal balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates<\/span><\/strong>. In our customer feedback we have seen much tighter insulin control with these equal amounts of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. \u00a0Pondera Wellness uses 1\/3 percent protein from whey or soy sources, 1\/3 percent monounsaturated fats, and 1\/3 percent carbohydrates with fibers that do not stimulate large amounts of insulin release.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We have spent much time and used many resources to produce this amazing formulation called Pondera Wellness. If you use our product twice daily on an empty stomach, you will hopefully see greater insulin control, possibly leading to better blood sugar levels. \u00a0By using Pondera, getting exercise, and making life style changes, we hope you will regain your youthful health once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diabetes is a severe worldwide problem. \u00a0In America, 1\/3 of our population has been diagnosed with this disease, and another 1\/3 are suffering from insulin resistance. \u00a0Insulin resistance or pre diabetes is the next step &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Taking the Fight to Diabetes &#8211; Getting Your Life Back\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/ponderawellness.com\/how-do-i-get-my-life-back\/#more-76\" aria-label=\"Read more about Taking the Fight to Diabetes &#8211; Getting Your Life Back\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3105,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"generate_page_header":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[116],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Taking the Fight to Diabetes - How to Get Your Life Back<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Diabetes is a worldwide problem and diet is a big part of it.
