You should also know, that people eating this 'rabbit food' cutting all carbs and proteins from their diet can still get fat. (and sick, even though they have a '6 pack' and low MBI. How? their liver begins producing glucose. When it does this, it always produces too much, and what ever isn't converted by your pancreas kicking in and converting it into energy and used by your cells, is stored as body fat, especially around the liver and abdomen.

It's a hyperglycemic condition called hepatic glucose production, hepatic gluconeogenesis. That's why a fat person who really isn't stuffing his face behind your back just can't loose wieght. It really isn't fair that some people think all these fat people have to do to loose wieght is quit stuffing their faces and excercise. What they really need to do is eat more, proper food controlling the amount of carbs they eat. You MUST have carbs in every meal, or you trigger that liver production of glucose. The "average" person with type 2 diabetes has three times the normal rate of gluconeogenesis

Where do you come up with this stuff?

“...cutting all carbs and proteins from their diet can still get fat.”

Ahh, that would leave only fats.

” ...their liver begins producing glucose”

The liver produces and STORES glucose as glycogen. Normal.

“When it does this, it always produces too much,”

How much glucose the liver produces is mostly controlled by the hypothalamus which directs the pancreas to produce either glucagon or insulin.

“You MUST have carbs in every meal, or you trigger that liver production of glucose.”

The silliness of this statement should be self evident.But right you are when you say that unused glucose can end up as fat.

“It’s a hyperglycemic condition called hepatic glucose production, hepatic gluconeogenesis.”

Glucose production by the liver is not a hyperglycemic condition nor is having body fat. Hyperglycemia refers to high blood sugar just as hypoglycemia refers to low blood sugar.

p.s. toss out the diet guru books.

Type 2 diabetes is the body being resistant to the effects of insulin which causes blood levels of sugar to rise.

IANAP. but one who wrote a compilation of dozens of diets out there (low-carb, no-carb, protein, low calorie, etc.) explained that most of the diet books in review had poor nutrition/biochemistry discussions in them--usually with flat-out errors.

It's a hyperglycemic condition

Don't you mean hypoglycemic? Or are you speaking of the chronic condition of hyperglycemia?

?If the latter, then recognize you are not writing about typical human body function.

Unless I'm misunderstanding her, carbohydrates are not required by the body, and the body will break down fats rather than just muscle proteins.
