[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1645699, member: 429870"] It is my belief that no-one eats or advocates a zero carb diet. This would mean eating only meat and fish - no eggs, cream, cheese, nuts, vegetables. I would love to be able to eat the kind of "healthy" diet you seem to prefer, though I would not call it low carb. Sadly, when I was eating more or less that way it was making my blood glucose rise and fluctuate in a way that I, and people I consider authorities (Jenny Ruhl, Dr Bernstein) believe to be harmful. Not everyone has the same tolerance for carbs. You may be fine with a quarter plate of them, lucky you! but I struggle to keep my bg down on 20g a day. The NHS nutritionist I saw recently advised me to give up eating low carb, allow myself to become diabetic and trust to medicine to sort me out. At least he did not pretend that eating as you outline above would save me from high bg. [/QUOTE]
