Of course patients reverted back to a problem status three months after stopping their diets, right?
My sister got rid of diabetes via low carb
So Captain Obvious is now Doctor Obvious?
That’s why you need lifestyle changes, not diets.
Follow a path for life. I’ve read enough books on health/fitness/nutrition to not sweat the details anymore.
It’s why I’m a big proponent of being process oriented vs goals oriented.
Also, use the Pareto Principle in life.
Talk about a Captain Obvious article.
They’re just figuring this out now?
Participants on the low carb diet were asked to eat no more than 20% of their calories from carbohydrates but could have 50- 60% of their calories from fat and 20-30% from protein.
When I tried the 40-30-30 Zone diet, I did well, but even better when I further reduced my carbs, possibly approaching 20%,
I'm not a fan of zero carbs (many are, and that's fine w me). The 20% carb appears to be a rational approach, many opinions vary.
Read about the Zone Diet by Dr Barry Sears. Been following it for 25 years.
While zero-carb is not easy, it’s a worthwhile target for those that can without suffering adverse health consequences.
Remember the stories about destroying a car’s paint job with a can of Coke? Well, that’s what carbs (Coke, sugars, glucose) do to blood cells and organs when insulin deficiencies are a factor. Imagine corroded cells (rust) floating around the bloodstream.
I prefer avoiding the insulin coverage. I’d rather not consume the carby stuff. The otherwise “boring” food will/does taste better.
If you’re diabetic and have high numbers (or haven’t been checking), please take that inconvenient step of checking-in and returning to the norm.
Of course!
Who can live without samiches, pizza and pasta?
It’s a doable but very hard slog of self denial.
Um, duh.

One would think “0.59 percent” would be statistically insignificant, but what do I know.
