The "low fat" diet followed by the women selected for "low fat diet" evaluation provided only 20% of their calories. Given that the maximum the body will allow you to get from protein is 40%, that means they got the remaining 40% of their calories from carbohydrates.

That's really not a healthy diet.

I brought my Type II diabetes to a big screeching halt by dropping my carb intake to about 100 gr or less per day. I make up for the loss of calories by eating more nuts and cheese. BTW, cheese has the hormone in it that Mother Nature adds to milk to reduce cholesterol so that the young can handle a high cholesterol diet.

Plus, diabetes is "caused" by having two copies of the gene for diabetes ~ plus lifestyle, events, happenstance, and how old you are.
