Vegetables and walks won't reverse a lifetime of sugar and carbohydrates.

It's a systemic problem of metabolic dysfunction and needs a comprehensive system to prevent it. Yeah we could throw a ketogenic guide at people with type 2 diabetes, and for some people that will be enough... But for most people to be successful they need many touch points to educate about metabolic disease, the factors going into it, the lifestyles that are protective, and most importantly breaking the carbohydrate addiction cycle, including social pressure, and food triggers. A constant feedback loop encouraging positive change.
