[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1876624, member: 219467"] Advising someone with Type 2 ( which can also be called a carbohydrate intolerance) to eat carbohydrate would appear to be quite bad advice do you not think? Diabetes UK gives this advice with the Eatwell Guide at its core. I would never advocate anyone follow the dietary advice in the Eatwell Guide if they have Type 2. People with Type 2 have elevated blood sugar levels which are what can cause harm if left high. the best way to lower them is to cut back on carbs and cut back on meal frequency. This is the advice I would give anyone newly diagnosed with Type 2. From my own and many other forum members combined experience the faster you cut back on carb consumption the faster your blood sugars lower. By reducing the eating window (and thereby extending your fasting period) you are allowing your body to use up extra circulating glucose which also contributes to lowering blood sugar levels (a win-win situation). Eating carbs and eating frequently achieves neither of those things hence my advice. [/QUOTE]
