[QUOTE="Key_master_, post: 1728227, member: 381523"] It’s not even really about loosing weight, it just so happens that the approach dr Bernstein teaches really does cause people to shed their excess weight as well as following what is a natural way of eating. It’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle. The reason for low carb high protein is so handy to diabetics is that as a type one on insulin or a type 2 for that matter that now makes little or no insulin is the rate of digestion and insulin needs. It’s spread over 6 or so hours now rather than fast acting carbs like starchy veg, bread and pasta etc that take a matter of hours and impact on blood sugars almost instantly once we’ve eaten them. 150g in weight of a protein source needs 3 units of humulin s in a non insulin resistant person to cover it. 150g of carbs needs 15 units of insulin in a non insulin resistant diabetic. That can be most peoples evening meal of just some potatoes or rice as a side dish with their main. My evening meals weren’t far off in carb count. I have studied to quite an extent about blood sugar normalisation and it’s association with weight loss is almost hand in hand. The answer lies in reducing insulin needs by reducing carbs and getting energy from slower, longer lasting sources like protein and fats from nuts, seeds and even 100% cocoa chocolate. [/QUOTE]
