[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2352118, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]I obviously haven't had enough tea and coffee this morning, as I missed the year plus ago aspect of the original poster's question until the end- but this subject is of great interest to me - both the original one about weight loss/getting better with type two and the various dynamite treatment methods. The way I look at the impact of fats on us getting insulin resistant to begin with (and I say this as a person who has had insulin resistance big time, and I guess off and on? for over three decades now, with various organ dysfunction over time) - is that [I][B]dietary high fat is dangerous[/B] [B]in relation to eating high carbs[/B][/I]. Eating lots of fat, especially these new processed oils that are in our modern diets big time, in combination with lots of carbs is just too much for our human bods. (And any omniverous mammal probably.) This is the easiest way for me to understand it, as the science is very involved, and the diagrams about the process on our body's is intense! I have given the correct names and references in other postings, and I really haven't had enough coffee yet to find links at the mo :). So in practice this means - eating low carb, as low carb as you can go basically, allows us to eat high/er healthy fat and keep healthy. Including being normal weighted-to lean. Eating low carb also gives the push to eating whole foods, and keeping away from processed food and I would say wheat and probably dairy (although I hate to say it as I love dairy) - especially the new wheat we have had since the 70s, the dwarf wheat, which seems to be metabolically much more difficult for we humans to digest well and be healthy with. And being tolerant to dairy could be a mixed boon for those of us with insulin resistance based diabetes, as it does raise insulin (which in turn - raised insulin - can lead to too high levels for our cells to deal with so need to become resistant to the insulin to save us from - well - too early death! Is an easy way to look at it.) Eating protein and fats is very likely the 'go to' for us as a species, with carbs as a rarer and jolly adjunct - not the bulk of our diets as it has become in modern times, and certainly NOT what I was raised on from the time of ribena in my baby bottle. Metabolic disease and cardio-vascular disease basically being titanic evolutionary mismatch diseases. (This is the human evolutionary biology perspective.) It makes complete sense, to me at least.
