[QUOTE="runner2009, post: 531880, member: 95489"] Congratulations on the BG control and the weight loss. That is brilliant. I have a theory about why the dietitians promote the higher carb diets. One of the other forum members found some papers published in the 40s that said high carbo diets helped control blood sugars. I believe that back in the day a high carbohydrate diet was not so much bread and potatoes and pasta but was high in lower calorie dense vegetables. The big difference was that the typical high carbo diet included high volume of fiber over 50g a day. I think that the dietitians forget this fact - supposedly the true paleo diet would include over 100g of fiber a day. Just as we all forget the pigs fat is far different nutrition wise than pigs fat was a century ago - pigs forged for food and are grubs etc instead of corn feed and rendered blood products. I've found that if you plan your meals targeting 50g of fiber a day of NOT calorie dense foods or fiber supplements you end up eating a lot of carbs to get that 50g of fiber. Anyway that is just my opinion. Sent from Runner2009 Burt [/QUOTE]
