Otherwise known as “eating only protein and fat”.
It’s the Atkins diet.
Typically, I gather that people who go on a high carb, low- or no-fat diet not only foul up their blood chemistry, but are at risk of developing a fatty liver and other problems.
Switching over to a high fat, high protein, and almost no-carb diet will often normalize their blood, especially if they take large amounts of Omega-3 fish oil, and reverse a fatty liver by incorporating Vitamin E. They can lose weight fairly rapidly on such a diet as well, as carbs are essential to produce and maintain body fat.
But this takes it a step further, by so emphasizing fats that normal metabolism is turned on its head.
In Europe, it is now standard practice for diabetics to take Vitamin B-1 supplements, because much of their renal (kidney) distress has been associated with the loss of B-1 due to excessive urination.
I’ll add that they also recommend that diabetics take R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (OTC) to stave off neuropathy in their extremities, nerve damage in their feet. (Note: specifically R-ALA, as just ALA also contains L-ALA, which can prevent the effect of the R-ALA).
Atkins was right.

Hah! Dad was right! He used to say “Eat your fat, it’s good for you.”, although he denies it now with smirk.
