Hi All,
I wanted to know if anyone else is on the Neal Barnard diet (Very low fat Vegan) and how long for? I have searched and I can't seem to find many people trying it out.
I switched from LCHF (8 months) to the Neal Barnard diet. It is really working. My time on LCHF ended in disaster when I incorporated intermittent fasting. My sugars went totally out of control and I couldn't get them back under control with normal LCHF. Then, I found I had to inject for practically zero carbs and my weight loss stalled.
I switched to Very Low Fat Vegan diet due to an angiogram that showed a worsening of my arteries after a year. I have no doubt LCHF contributed to it.
Within ten days of the Neal Barnard diet, my sugars were back under control.My latest HbA1C was better than when on the LCHF. Now, my 'carb tolerance' has greatly increased and I can eat oatmeal or bulgur or lentils without injecting anything. My medication has reduced, along with my weight and blood pressure. I would say I consume about 150-200g carbs a day and my body is handling it and I am losing weight. This is a total flip from the LCHF, which seemed to make me less and less carb tolerant and clearly worsened my arteries - although it did stabilise my sugar/cholesterol for 6 months.
Am I the only one? Is there anyone else?!!
