Don’t forget also that some choose keto or full-carnivore because they prefer it. Grain-free eating can bring about benefits reaching far beyond just better glucose stability. Plant-free is also beneficial to some (I know it is for me). Not everyone eating such diets is necessarily doing so out of an absolute requirement to keep their blood glucose within range. There are lots of people choosing the zero-carb lifestyle who have never even been diabetic.
Then, there are those like me, have no choice whatsoever!
I must be so careful with what goes into my mouth!
Being intolerant to so many foods, is so annoying, when a doctor, dietician, dsn and even specialists, tell you, that you will not have good brain function if you stop eating carbs. It is a necessity for good health to eat carbs!
I have heard it so many times!
The problem that they don't want to believe is that it is possible to have really good brain function, good health and Improved lifestyle without having carbs.
I would rather risk life without carbs than what they do to me!
Again, I don't have the luxury of choice.
Carbs make me really ill!
How many others have suffered because of this intolerance to food?
An intolerance is so similar to an allergy but it creeps up on you slowly over time, until your body reacts to the constant bombardment of high glucose or high insulin or other hormonal responses and of course the resulting symptoms.
Having to eat Keto, is essential to my future health.
That is a major difference between having an intolerance than just dietary changes.
I had to find this information and have the resourcefulness to achieve this lifestyle.
Carbs were killing me slowly, I had no choice, only this forum advocated these drastic measures , not one medical professional, including my endocrinologist who diagnosed me and probably saved my life, gave any advice about not eating carbs.
I had to persuade him, that this course of action was necessary to get my health and my life back. He reluctantly accepted it.
It is sustainable, it can be life changing, not eating carbs, saved my life!
I cannot understand why, despite all the evidence that reducing carbs is so beneficial to those who have an intolerance to certain foods and gives better control of their blood sugar levels.
My wife has T2, and a lot of other conditions, her general health has improved dramatically because of three things, the meds she is now on, the reduction in carbs, and eating more meat that doesn't come from a production line or fast food outlets.
Rant on, over and out!
