OK Kevin! Way to go!Your posts in this thread have been so encouraging to me, as a new LCHF lifestyle participant. I too have been reading Dr. Fung and find that it is giving me new hope. In three months of an introductory 50 carb a day regimen, I have lost weight without trying, my toe sores...

Walking away from ignorant people is hard to do because you really want to tell them that they are brain-dead! Good for you! Fight the good fight!

On the advice of several forum members I have been reading Dr. Jason Fung. He's most associated with intermittent fasting to reset your basal metabolism, but his new book the Obesity Code addresses several of the issues mentioned by the previous posts. Why are we fat? Because too much insulin...

Great results! Thank you

Many thanks- so much to learn!

Deb I just watched Butter Bob and I really enjoyed both him and the information that he had thank you very much for providing the link!

I haven't had time to read Jason Fung in depth yet, but his ideas on caloric restriction resulting in a lower basal metabolism, and fasting and ketosis not affecting the basal metabolism, were really eye-opening. I starved myself on caloric restricted diets for years, and kept stalling out in...

I'm sorry Kristen, I don't understand what bolus means although I am familiar with the Bernstein diet. I thought that the Bernstein diet was low-carb and low-fat. Does it work the same as a high-fat, low-carb diet?

Great stuff, thank you! I will pass all this onto my friend!

You're not hijacking at all horn player! I am learning so much from other people's input, and I am also learning that other people have very similar problems to me, with DP and erratic numbers. I'm trying to establish a lifestyle for myself at about 50 carbs. I don't think I'm ready to fast yet...

No veg at all?!!

Obviously I need to learn a lot more about these things. I haven't even been thinking about the effect of protein, and when is the best time to eat it, and how glycogen stores work. you all have such precise observations, it encourages me to be more precise in my journaling. Thanks

I have so much to learn! Thank you very much for all of those ideas and terms. I will follow them up to find out.

Great! I will follow it up.

Thanks Deb very much! I haven't heard of background insulin so I will try to follow that research!

Thanks Deb that's very helpful. And my overall blood sugars are lower from the low-carb diet in just two months, so I am pleased. I'm intrigued by the idea of fasting, but the Dawn phenomenon seems to derail it. I have seen a couple places in my reading, that it takes a while for your liver to...

I totally agree with you about low-carb not being a license to gluttony! And I really do notice that my appetite is really lessened in this eating style. My question was hypothetical, as it seems with a low carb diet, the old calories in equals calories absorbed equation does not hold true...

I didn't know that you could get spikes from protein! I know it's not good to eat too much protein because it's hard on your kidneys, but never knew that it could knock you out of ketosis. Thank you for sharing… I'm getting so much to think about!

I just read the smash the fat article that Sam wrote about his 21-day high-fat diet. Fascinating stuff! The question remains though, would someone who is insulin resistant, diabetic, only moderately athletic and middle aged respond the same? Context as you put it! You are dead on! I also read...

Hypothetical Question: There are two dieting diabetics very similar in health history, each eating only 20 carbs a day, without cheating. Subject A controls portions, eats moderate amounts of healthy fats. Subject B eats larger portions, and a much greater amount of healthy fats. But they...
