A major setback for Gordon. The singer almost died last week from the effects of diabetes. “I stopped injecting insulin and almost paid for it with death.”
For months, Gordon has been taking his followers along in his successful battle against the pounds. He has lost an awful lot of weight, but in the process has decided somewhat recklessly to stop taking the medication for his diabetes. And that almost killed him, let him know in a message on Instagram.
Almost died
Gordon has had a difficult month. “Last month was a difficult one: back injury and a huge relapse in diabetes… It’s naive to think: if you lose that much weight, your diabetes is gone. Not so. Very stupidly stopped injecting insulin (on his own initiative) and almost had to pay for it with death last week.”
It is a major setback for Gordon and his health. “Enormously shocked and so immediately back into a tight schedule with injections and food. Which means that you gain weight again because of the insulin and that is frustrating.”
carnivore diet
Gordon has recently been on a strict carnivore diet, even eating breakfast with meat. “The carnivore diet has helped enormously, but is too one-sided to sustain for long. I now just combine it with some vegetables and fruit. I eat as few carbohydrates as possible, but I also need them to stabilize my blood sugar.”
Gordon learns to live with it. “It’s all complicated, but that’s diabetes: a silent killer. I want to stay with me for a while and with this lifestyle and this diet I will make it.”
Thailand
Gordon is currently not in Dubai, but in the luxury resort of Chiva-Som in Thailand’s Hua Hin. “I feel really great and here in Thailand it is the last (ki) run even though I am really satisfied with my result now.”
“I will keep the little belly, but it’s okay and next Saturday I’ll try to touch the -25 kilos! I’ll be answering questions on my Insta tomorrow, so stay tuned! Sa wadi ka!!”
