Message: <blockquote data-quote="Resurgam" data-source="post: 1644011" data-attributes="member: 355878">There are essential components in your diet, and carbs is not on the list - protein and fats are - your brain is made from lipids and your nerves have sheaths made from lipids to stop the signals going astray, so restricting natural fats is not all that good an idea.I could possibly agree that eating fats and lots of carbs is not a good idea, because the carbs put the metabolism off balance, so anything could happen. However - the idea of 'bad fat' does seen to be rather problematic when you ask 'how true it that?' because no one checked, and the epidemic of illnesses which has arises since the low fat mantra began does seem to be too consistent to be coincidental. At just over one year from diagnosis, I checked my blood glucose last night and it was 5.9 mmol/l. I checked it because I ate a bit of potato to see if I still don't like them. People do go on so much about their 'roasties' I thought that perhaps I was missing out - no, I'm not. Yech. Then I was wondering if it caused a rise in BG - well - if it did, it was not all that apparent.I find that eating about 40 to 50 gm of carbs a day is putting me right back in the normal ranges for most things - but I still have to take the tablets for thyroid replacement, 'cos mine's broken.</blockquote>
