I know there are a lot of low-carb dieters here at FR. Anyone know if there's a ping list for this topic?

Get a couple of teeth pulled, like I did recently. Best incentive for a diet ever.

I LC diet, plus I was just diagnosed with Diabetes. LC is the ONLY way I can ever lose any significant amount of weight. It's tough, but for the right body type it's a lifesaver.

No idea ~ probably need a Type II diabetes ping list, and that'd pick up most of them.

This is not a surprise. The body makes it's own "fat" out of whatever is eaten. If you eat carbs, it makes fat. If you eat protein, it makes fat. If you eat fat, it makes fat.

It seems that if you consume lots of Omega 3 fats, your body might well reduce the amount of Omega 6 fats it makes.

Lots of unknowns here.

If you overeat carbohydrates insulin will help store it away in fat cells.

Every diabetic knows that carbs must be controlled or you will die.

Really? I know a guy who would find this interesting. He was told to diet or he was a risk for a major heart attack. He went on the Atkins diet. He was put on heart medication because the Atkins diet was causing heart problems.

Thought y'all might like to read this article.

Of course not. What else is new?

I think the Ornish plan is better. Lots of fish and fresh vegetables. It's low carb with the right fats for heart health.
