[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2747580, member: 150927"] Very interesting! And I'm totally with you on the 'head on' as best with this. My blood glucose is totally shot, but my kidney and heart health is still doing good (touch wood/my head). (My equivalent on the healthy aspect of low carbing/healthy fatting.) Interesting too that you brought up the weight-loss aspect of successful LCHFing. If folks have healthy BG systems, it's the weight gain/loss aspect of LCHF way of eating that can strike a chord/light a spark in listeners, weight issues being such a , er, big thing, most everywhere and with most folks even, in my experience. LCHF was really successful for me in this regard, and pretty immediate, and I too haul out the equivalent of the jacket (particularly with women), and that's photos of my former-bodied-self on my laptop. (That I have easily accessible for just such ocassions.) My BG is bad, but my weight has maintained at normal with this way of eating. (This confuses the medical professionals, and alas - advocates of Prof Taylor.) (Sigh on the latter. I wish the personal fat threshold re remission had held up for me.) One of my lines is, "Fat doesn't make you fat, carbs do." And use my own body as contributing evidence. Yes, adds to the confusion for many, for sure. i also say that no-one, apart from the morbidly obese and sadly those with eating disorders, know about and discuss weight loss (and gain) as much as type two diabetics. This is probably due to my time on the diabetes Forums that lead me to that conclusion. But I do think I am right on that one. [/QUOTE]
