This video is one in a series of videos and websites which are being posted on FreeRepublic in the coming days in regard to nutritional health. In the beginning these videos were being posted as a rebuttal to an article and comments in another posted article on FreeRepublic remarking on obesity. Due to the strong interest in obesity and nutritional health as it relates to Type II Diabetes, the videos relating to Type II diabetes and how to reverse the progression of the disease are being moved forward among the other video topics in this series. Expect to see a mixture of videos regarding the role of carbohydrates in the diet and their relationship to nutritional health topics ranging from metabolic syndrome and Diabetes to dementia, Parkinson's Disease, Altzheimer's Disease, and more. The effects of standard government sponsored diets, health association diets, and alternative diets upon everyday nutrition, sports nutrition, and diabetic nutrition will be mixed in with videos focused on the use of various low carbohydrate and high fat (LCHF) diets, such as the ketogenic diets as a treatment for Type II Diabetes.
Anyone who is interested in following this series of posts about nutritional health is invited to request a ping.

Why Is A Low Carb Diet Good for You?
Ping
I’ve been doing low carb for about 4 or 5 years now. I dropped 50 lbs and kept it off. I went from 190 to 140. It’s the only diet that ever worked long term for me.
I just had tacos and couldn’t care less if they were good for me.
Did you know that you are going to DIE anyway? Try and be extremely thin when you die!!
I figure just eat a balanced diet and you’ll be fine. I tend to watch my diet with a view toward nutrient needs.
Michigan tacos. You are funny.
The reason is fat and protein are the bodys building blocks.
They require more energy to break down, using up more calories to process.
They stick around longer because they take longer to break down, so you are less hungry, longer.
They dont spike your insulin and put your liver into overdrive to deal with.
If I had to avoid all of the things that I’ve been told to avoid by Drs in the past few weeks, I sure hope I can grow a couple extra stomachs, ‘cause they’d have me down to pretty much nothing but grass.
Death and taxes and I’m not so sure about death.
Sounds exactly like me....200# to 147#. Have a 29” waist now.
Pretty much EVERYTHING the government has recommended for nutritional needs was and is not only not true ,but the opposite is much closer to the truth.
How long did it take for you to lose the fifty pounds?
I keep having too many intimate dinners for two with just me showing up.
I remember that Dr. Atkins went through hell for advocating the same thing.
How about the concept of everything in moderation?

“How about the concept of everything in moderation?”
For most of the human population “everything in moderation” results in metabolic syndrome, obesity, pre-diabetes, and/or Type II diabetes. The food pyramids used to define what IS moderation were created by politics and not by nutrition science. The woman who was asked to create the food pyramid stood by helplessly as the U.S. Government turned her recommendations upside down and inside out to increase starches and grains among many other things as a much greater percentage of the diet in order to accommodate the foods the U.S. Government was making available through the food stamp programs. The subsequent revisions of the food pyramid defining what is supposed to be a recommended daily diet has undergone even further political modifications. The end result has been to triple the incidence of obesity and diabetes in only a couple of decades by flooding bodies with sugary carbohydrates and lowering healthy saturated fats essential for neurological health.
