Dude how does this low carb diet plan work and suggestions for ppl like me who are suffering from past 7 years
Hi
@subu94, I am by no means an expert, so here's my understanding, the main theme running through your eating patterns would be to remove bad and fast acting carbohydrates. Strict adherence means that in general potatoes, pasta, rice, cakes, crackers, sweets, sodas, bread, crisps, biscuits and high fructose fruits are removed from your diet. At first this seems very restrictive (but consider that a lot of these are "man made" and highly processed), but there are plenty of options within the LCHF regime. By removing the carbs which ultimately behave like sugar within your body, less insulin is required to deal with meals, which in turn will assist lower blood sugar readings and either a stabilisation of body fat and a reduction in weight, as insulin response will divert excessive carbohydrate into fat cells.
Some foods that are on the list are low sugar carbs such as above ground vegetables (leeks, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, greens, spinach, salads, etc (

LCHF is not no carbs, it is just good carbs. The fat is good fats such as butter, olive / coconut oil, oily fish, oils from eating berries. I find this lifestyle sustainable long term, effectively just replacing obvious carbs with more vegetables and deserts with cheese, nuts and berries.
As you are type 1 please ensure you search test, test and test as your medications would definitely require adjustments.
