Another question: food

Basicaly only carbs. I'm sceptical as I experimented with all of that and my BG reacted to this food as to any other carbs.

I had the same problem until I switched to whole carbs only. I have noticed that my blood sugar was spiking when I was eating refined or highly processed foods but not when I changed to whole foods.

Please note that when I said that I was bulking up my salad with beans, etc., the carb was a small part of the meal, not the main.

Yes. I should have said that it worked for me and that does not mean it will work for everyone.
I need to lose some weight so I am also going to try the 5:2 diet.

you not going to argue or try to pick a fight , you just going to respond as mature, well rounded, decent human being.
Ohhh you sneaky bastich.
 
@Peridot

On your fruit thread, you said your doctor also warned you off raspberries because they are very high in carb.

Peridot said:
My GP says raspberries are v high carb - especially frozen ones (no prizes for guessing what I take into work for my breakfast with yoghurt and a small portion of paleo granola). Is this correct? I thought berries were low? What could I use instead?

You know this isn't true. Can you believe anything he says? I would be considering a change of doctor.

As I said, I experimented with all that "whole" thing, and it is the same carb as others - only with slower digestion. It is "slow" carb as for example pasta. Paradoxically I like much more "quick" carbs, because I can control it with physical activity - they go quickly up but also quickly down. I don't see any advantage to have BG over 5.6 for a long time.

I am sure you would enjoy it as much as I did...

For nearly 20 years my family had avoided fatty cuts of meat since my father's first triple bypass. It was quite a revelation to have stumbled upon LCHF upon my own T2D diagnosis with HbA1c @11%. It worked with pretty much immediate effect....HbA1c reached 5.5% within 3 months...

The chart shows my first day of diagnosis when I received my glucometer from eBay on 1st Sep 2015. Got a confirmed diagnosis on the 8 Sep. Was prescribed 2 tabs of Trajentaduo per day. Took it for a day and started LCHF...the rest is history...

No fight. I am just reporting what worked for me.

A lot of people seem to be concentrating on controlling the symptoms of T2 (elevated blood sugar) which in the short term can be achieved by a low carb diet and/or medication. I was more interested in not taking any medication and a permanent cure. My research led to an organic whole plant diet and it has worked very well for me.

For some of us meat and fish works out just fine...here is what happened to my glucose level when I eat a nice plate of roast pork belly for lunch...it flatline between 5.0-5.5 mmol...

My! the meat in that picture must be 70% fat! At least!
 
When I eat any vegetable origin stuff, it is fresh and untampered with - but I could not eat 'whole' carbs without my BG going high and staying high, legumes, baked potatoes - brown rice - wooosh - into the high teens for hours, even through into the following day.
Meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, cheese - barely a flicker. Huge salads, low carb stirfry, under two whole number increase - no problem - plus as time passed, the same meal resulted in lower numbers. I was, presumably starting off lower, but I did not test as frequently once I got to under 8mmol/l after meals.
It is not, as far as I can see, something short term. If I go on eating like this - and enjoying it greatly - I can't envisage any return of high BG readings.

By most account, pork belly has 50% fat. So it is a very balanced meal...50% fat, 50% protein...not really high fat...and if I may add, a recent study rank it as a rather nutritious food...
 
NO!!!
