nutritionally, you are probably right. However, for those of us with bowel issues which require a certain amount of fibre etc then veg is essential.Carbohydrate requirement for humans: zero. Did you know that?

forgot to add: I cant eat pulses, nuts or seed either.
I would love to eat the way you do : (
I think that's way too much carbohydrate for a type 2 diabetic. For most people, really.50% carbs. 35% fat. 15%protein

I had bowel issues for many years. They went away as soon as I stopped eating plants.nutritionally, you are probably right. However, for those of us with bowel issues which require a certain amount of fibre etc then veg is essential.

Some bowel issues need less fibre. Even certain veg with shells or skins or being leafy will cause hell.
We are all individual, and differences can be so huge! Even on veg..
I am glad that worked for you.I had bowel issues for many years. They went away as soon as I stopped eating plants.
I have never been a vegetable lover, and if I were told to eat loads of them every day in order to beat diabetes, I would give up immediately! I eat the ones I enjoy, in quantities I enjoy. I certainly do not eat the 5 a day. Mushrooms daily, peas 3 or 4 times a week, cauliflower/broccoli/carrots once a week with Sunday roast, a a small spoon of baked beans a couple of times a week. I can't think of any more. I don't even have salad leaves on salads.

my bowel issue needs a certain amount of fibre.
Thanks. I was quite surprised that it did. But I do understand that not everyone can forego plants.I am glad that worked for you.
Eeurh, raw cauliflower and brocolli - i.imagine it gets stuck better your for teeth for ages. Think it would mine, but mine are constructed like frankensteins. :-(You keep more of the nutrients by eating them raw, but a salad doesn’t really go with a roast dinner!
I’m currently enjoying raw cauliflower and broccoli in place of salad with some meals.
Seems reasonable to me.I have never been a vegetable lover, and if I were told to eat loads of them every day in order to beat diabetes, I would give up immediately!

It seems like we are at a fulcral point in understanding.Carbohydrate requirement for humans: zero. Did you know that?
Or to disprove it?I have nothing to prove this
But what I meant was that getting vitamins from vegetables is the safest for us Diabetes
Is there no edit funxn? I see my mit got knackered toward the end of the above.It seems like we are at a fulcral point in understanding.
In evolutionary terms we evolved to eat a choice of foods for greatest survival potential and could survive at least for a season on one or tother eg fruitless wintes vs fruitful Autumns. However fruits also contain carbs, so it would appear that we not evolved without at least coexposure to meat -hunting, cannabilism and evolutionary cousin semi-cannabilism eg chimp eating a monkey and carbs in fruit. But exposure to eat was likely seasonal witb periods of low food availabilty = semi starvation. Now as diabetics, our natural response to a inabiluth to produce/ respond to insulin wud be carb avoidance if were not for drugs. Msybe tge mist natural method -ooer- would be seasonal gorging - high energy in coolet seasonal - shexs of loads in autumn. Min food between.
