Type 2 Is it only the carbs that count in LCHF?

I take insulin so bolus means the amount of insulin I take. Bernstein is low carb but not low fat. I have to take insulin for protein but this CAN be more for type 1's. Some type 2's notice little spikes for proteins and it can be more apparent in type 1's. Your meter will tell you

Many thanks- so much to learn!

I totally agree with you about low-carb not being a license to gluttony! And I really do notice that my appetite is really lessened in this eating style. My question was hypothetical, as it seems with a low carb diet, the old calories in equals calories absorbed equation does not hold true. I have a friend who is also low carbing at this time, and her husband is greatly alarmed because of her increased dietary fat. We couldn't find any hard science on this issue. My cardiologist told me that I was playing Russian roulette by going off statins, especially as I had increased my fat intake. He adamantly sticks to the American Heart Association beliefs on Chloresterol, and denies that there's any new real scientific research on the issue. It's very difficult to negotiate your way through so many differing opinions and interpretations.

There is a lot of research including gold standard Randomised Control Studies. I provided a summary of at least 10 pieces for one of this communities members.....now.....where did I leave it

I remember it was an Ozzy member who thought all us LCHFers we're nuts. ...still not sure of that thread!

I take the classic view of cholesterol as well, I am not HF, but enough, and always watch the calories. I find I can control my cholesterol much better by simply not eating saturated fats.
