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?

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.
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.
I remember that Dr. Atkins went through hell for advocating the same thing.
I’m glad you posted this.
Low carb means less enriched flour means potentially better diet.
Got to love the 1984ish naming: enriched flour.
I just cut way back on bread and processed sugar and, voila ... helped a ton.
Ping. Please put me on list please.

Would you put me on your ping list, please.
WhiskeyX,
Thank you for your Nutritional Studies posts and ping list.
I for one really appreciate your time on getting this information out to those of us who seriously read through them.
Sincerely,

It damn sure works
Get carbs down below 100 or 50 or 20 if you’re hardcore marine style self discipline and the weight will pour off
From all over.....it ain’t water weight it’s all of your fattiness
You just shrink
24 days ago I was 6’5” and 262.....not good but at my height you can hide it better...just been pigging out on sweets and breads for a year knowing the day would come
So ...and I’ve tried it before but never like this.....I’m averaging maybe 35-50 carb grams a day ....and eating all the meats and dairy and greens I want
Zero bread and very little sweets and no other carbs much at all
Best cheat is peanut butter or sugar free jello with heavy cream or ready whip
Anyhow I’m hungry when I eat twice a day and rarely snack
Today I’m 234
28 pounds in 24 days.....my wife is so jealous poor thing....she’s tiny anyhow but she being a split tail loses weight much slower
I’d like to hit 215-220 which would be my lowest since 1996
Eating meats and butter and cheeses and salad is easy for me but I do miss fries and rice
I am also trying to dodge diabetes which is so much more prevalent when older like me and with a big waistline
Low carb diet works and you’re much less hungry
You should add in “Sugar - the Bitter Truth”

In 2003, I went from 304 pounds to 197 pounds (I'm 6'3") by essentially cutting carbs from my diet and walking daily. I didn't do the "Atkins plan" as I thought the induction phase was too extreme. I simply eliminated breads and grains from my diet as much as possible and shopped the perimeter of the supermarket where all the fresh meats, dairy and produce was to be found. I stayed away from high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated fats (basically all packaged processed foods). I tried to keep my carb intake under 100 grams a day.
With my wife, I learned how to cook most things from scratch. I also got out and walked at least 10,000 steps a day, which eventually became 20,000 steps a day (almost 10 miles).
Once I hit my goal, I slacked off on the diet. While I was fit for years after that and relatively slim, the pounds slowly came back on. Eventually it all came back and I went to over 300 pounds again earlier this year. I found that I was eating bagels, pizza, pasta, and other grains on a regular basis. All those grain products had the effect of making me even hungrier an hour or two after I ate them.
So once again, I went back to what I originally did in 2003. The result is that I lost 22 pounds in a single month. Basically achieved by cutting breads and pasta from my diet and avoiding processed foods. I still have a ways to go to get back under 200 pounds but I already feel better and much more energetic.
I stick to meat, fish, eggs, whole milk yogurt, berries, vegetables (like brussels sprouts, broccoli and squash), bananas, sweet potatoes, nuts, cheeses, raisins, and other foods in their mostly natural state. Also, wine, black coffee and beer in moderate amounts.
So there is definitely something about grains and processed foods that is making my body bloated and fat. Avoiding those products has made a big difference as as this is the second time around, I am convinced that the "food pyramid" offered up by the government, with it's 11 servings a day of "healthy grains" has done my body a great injustice.
