Don't understand why this should happen

@John93 whilst 8 agree there are numerous pitfalls when citing and considering “evidence” it seems odd that you would blindly believe those with vested interests without any. The personal experience of people in here with their weight loss, BGL, insulin levels, IR and OGTT must in those circumstances be just as valuable.

Sure there are “big boys” supporting the low fat mantra. They’ve been doing it since the start of the diabesity epidemic. The ones you mention are dealing with the consequences of failing to prevent/control/reverse/remit diabetes more than the cause of it. There is no consensus for a single cause of type 2 either as far as I can see. There is also rapidly growing support That the best available means of controlling type 2 and it’s consequences is to keep blood sugars and insulin down both of which reduce IR. there doesn’t seem to many claims to cure beyond those selling it!
Hope you find your answers.
 

John, can I ask you how you would define "long term" above, when discussing low carb, insulin resistance and OGTTs?
