[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2263434, member: 480869"] Sorry but absolute rubbish and not based in science, just myth. Whilst proteins and carbs may have the same calories in each they are processed by different mechanisms and hormones etc and have very different effects on the bodies multiple systems. And that is in a healthy person. Consider in a diabetic where carbohydrates mechanisms are flawed and it is even more true. Studies have shown a carb restriction when calories are maintained or raised works as well and often better than reducing calories. Calorie restriction methods over the last 40 yrs have high failure and drop out rate, cause hunger, slow basal metabolism making the fundamental problem worse and do nothing to address the problem diabetics have with carbs. Plant based easily means highly processed, high carb or nutrient deficiency without a great deal of care to avoid these issues, and is more of an ethical/religious choice than a health or science supported one.
