I’m convinced by the people who post HERE, long time FReepers, who almost without exception* have had positive results by going low-carb, often very, very positive. So, point me to people HERE who have loaded up with starches (of any kind) and had similar results, I’d like to hear from them. So far no one has made that claim that I’m aware of.

Lol. Here?? I have to cite examples of people who post of FR to convince you?. On this thread I have cited books by actual medical doctors, by you want FReeper testimonials ?? I wouldn’t trust posters to FR with health advice anymore than I would trust them for entertainment advice. Lol!! But OK. Here is one. Myself. I have been doing a low fat, whole food, plant-based diet , high in starch and whole carbs for a decade and it is literally the best thing I’ve ever done for myself no exaggeration literally the best thing. It gives me plenty of energy to lift weights and build lots of muscle. Keeps the body fat low. And prevents heart disease. Keeps the cholesterol low with no meds. I’ll let you know if I ever have to take a med. Hasn’t happened yet. Don’t want it to ever happen in the future.

You’re welcome to believe the ‘professionals’ who told us that trans fats are MUCH BETTER for us than butter, and numerous other now-discredited crap.

I’ll believe people here who mostly have NO FINANCIAL INTEREST in whether anyone believes them or not, and spend 99% of their time talking politics, not this stuff. I just happen to think higher of FReepers, I guess.

As to your case, based on what you said about yourself, you appear to be part of the 67% percent of the country who are NOT prone to Diabetes, which is great, and from my quick look at your diet, it seems to keep you clear of today’s hybridized strains of wheat, which is what is causing much, if not most, of the spike in obesity and Diabetes, so I’m not doubting that it works for you, but I’ll continue to also believe the FReepers here who literally have NO NEED to lie about their conditions.
