[QUOTE="Roytaylorjasonfunglover, post: 1035812, member: 166184"] What you are eating is important, but far more important is the weight. I read the book two days ago, it is the best book I have ever read on diabetes, despite some bad parts, they think the glycemic index is important for instance, it explains diabetes very well, and have loads of real life examples of people having gone on the diet, lost weight, and normalized their bloodsugars. And here is the important part, their bloodsugars are still normalized after having done the diet. The only thing everyone that got their diabetes under control had in common was this, they lost weight. Some lost 4 kg, others lost 20, but it is all about that weightloss. So say your bmi is 23, and type 2 diabetic before you begin the diet. You go on the diet, and get down to a bmi of 19, you check your bloodsugar and it is normalized. So lets say your personal fat threshold for diabetes is a bmi of 21. If this person manages to keep his bmi under 21, he can eat what he wants, and still have good bloodsugar control, we will never get diabetes again. His diet may well be a extreme strict lowcarb, or it may be vegan, as long as the weight is in check, the sugars will be in control. Most of the examples in the book do not follow the lowcarb diet, most of them think saturated fat is dangerous forexample, one guy says he still indulges in cheeses and fatty meats after having undergone the diet, lol, we know that this is not dangerous, but many here belives wholegrains are, which many of those cured in the book, eat after having reversed themselves. So this is important. If somebody weighed 140 kg at a height of 188 cm and was diagnosed with diabetes, they get down to a weight of 75 kg, and perhaps their personal fat threshold is 100 kg, and they have their bloodsugar normalized, what will happen now? My understandning is that as long as they keep under the 100 kg limit, they will not get diabetes. They could eat a diet of 90% carbs, with 5 % protein and 5 % fat, something many people on this site never would risk, or they could eat a diet of just 10 % carbs and the rest fat and protein, lowcarb high fat high protein, choose the ratio you like the most, or even a standard diet of 50 carb 20 fat 30 protein. All these diets could be eaten and as long as under 100 kg, they would not cause the big D. Weight is the most important thing, and which weight you need to be at, is called your personal fat threshold. Do buy the book, it can save your life. [/QUOTE]
