Did a plant base diet ever work for metabolic syndromes?

[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 2382455, member: 256617"] I tried more plant based and it worked.....against the standard UK diet. This is all about definitions, so "worked" meant A1c from 134 to 41/42 (all well documented with pics on this site of trays of roasted veg), "ldl", mid range blood pressure of circa 130-35/ 75/80 and still on metformin. This might be deemed "successful", and I am grateful to be alive (thought I had no chance). The highest GI carbs were carrots / swede. The problem was that I was working out 3 hours a day to maintain that A1c. I trained harder and still got a 41. When I reduced the low GI carbs (still have these but reduced by around 70%), and increased meats A1c has gone to between 35.5 and 39 depending on the Assay used, no more metformin and blood pressure 118 / 70. Ldl has gone up, but trigs (fat in the blood) 0.5 or less, HDL circa 2.5. My opinion of those you mention cannot be publicly stated, but you can include Joel Fuhrman, Michael Greger, Pam Popper, John McDougall, T. Colin Campbell and various others. [/QUOTE]
