Halle Berry, her type 2 diabetes and keto diet

Halle Berry promotes the ketogenic diet, which she says helped ‘reverse’ her type 2 diabetes over several years.

Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry was diagnosed with diabetes when she was 22 years old – after she went into a diabetic coma.

“Diabetes caught me completely off guard,” she explained at the time.

“None of my family had suffered from the illness and although I was slightly overweight in school, I thought I was pretty healthy.

“I fell ill – dramatically – when I was on the TV show, Living Dolls, in 1989. I felt I needed energy but I didn’t even have a minute to pop out and get a chocolate bar. I didn’t really know what was wrong.”

In January 2018, on Instagram, she explained why the high-fat, low-carb diet had improved her overall health. “I believe it’s largely responsible for slowly down my aging process,” she wrote.

The keto lifestyle offers so many benefits such as weight loss (moms that’s how we get rid of our baby bellies), appetite control, more energy and better mental performance.

If you’re like me, you can possibly reverse type 2 diabetes, you’ll experience better physical endurance, better skin and also less acne if that’s an issue.”

If you have diabetes, there are some potential risks to keep in mind before going on the ketogenic diet. Please talk to your doctor first.
