No wonder people are confused. I just found this website by a medical group in Australia (link at the bottom). I guess this is what everyone is talking about when they are given advice for how to manage their diabetes...
It seems to be the opposite of everything I have learned since frequenting this site and reading about the low carb world.
"Eating too much meat can lead to serious consequences from increasing the risk of diabetes to heart disease and even cancer."
" Some studies reveal that eating too much red meat can increase the chances of developing bowel cancer. Try to eat red meat only in conservative amounts (100-200 g just twice a week) with lots of vegetables or grains. Try to avoid eating liver and kidneys."
"If you feel hungry all the time even though you’ve just finished a meal, it can mean that you’ve been having too much protein. When you don’t have enough carbs, your body’s blood sugar goes down, and you don’t produce mood-regulating serotonin, the chemical that makes you feel hungry.
Tip: If you realize that you always feel hungry, try to snack on Greek yogurt with berries or hummus with wholegrain crackers instead of a sandwich for lunch. Try to cut out meat for several days, and see if you feel better and fresher."
"If you experience high blood pressure, this can be a sign that it’s time to cut back on meat."
"When your body doesn’t digest meat properly, you might get sick more often than usual. Your immune system can be affected because of the natural sugar (called Neu5Gc) found in red meat, and it is very hard for our bodies to digest. This sugar is normally produced by carnivorous animals and allows them to sustain their meat diets. Our bodies do not produce it, and that’s why we treat it as a foreign substance, which sets off a toxic immune reaction. This reaction can cause a lot of other problems, with cancer being the most serious." Comes from this study I assume: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/10/161019160201.htm
Here is the original website I pulled this from https://www.geelongmedicalgroup.com...our-body-might-not-be-properly-digesting-meat
What do you make of it meat lovers and carnivores? And how about the vegetarians and vegans?
