[QUOTE="Citroenut, post: 1819816, member: 377028"] Of course I am anxious because I can not understand what is wrong with my health. Probably bad genes but I hope there are some things I can do. I just try to find answers but the information I get all over the net is often so controversial that I do not know what is right and what is wrong anymore. For example: 1) Everybody says that when you cut carbs, the blood sugar goes down. In my case the blood sugar goes up. For example today my fasting blood sugar was 6.3. 2) Everybody says that eat lots of fruit and veggies, but how the hell I can eat a lot of them when my postprandials will go silly high? 3) Jason Fung advocates high fat low carb and low protein. He evens says 50 grams of protein is plenty for average male. What the hell I should eat then? A 250 gram of lean beef is ca 50 grams of protein but it gives only about 250kcal of enery. I need 10X of that. Ok I could eat straight butter but how anyone can get their minerals and vitamins that way. As long as I know fat does not contain very much of them 4) Dr Bernstein says that true normal fasting blood sugar is 4.6. Has anyone here who has prediabetes managed to get his/her blood sugar down to that level with diet? There are examples of people who went zero carb, eating only meat, and their blood sugars are higher than that. For example Shawn Baker whose fasting blood sugar is near 7. The other long term zerocarber "TheBear" said his blood sugar was near 5.6. Also dr Bernstein says that eating a lot of fat and ketogenic diet is silly. He advocates contrary to Jason Fung a high protein diet. 5) The reason I asked about the scurvy was because zerocarbers say that they do not get scurvy eating only meat. I tried a diet with lots of eggs and occasionally meat but I feel that this way of eating is flirting with scurvy. Imagine when you got an infection and your body needs c vitamine and you do not have any. It does not feel a right way to me. On the other hand I feel that all the nutrients - vitamins and minerals - are present in eggs and meat and therefore the only reason to eat veggies and fruit is to prevent scurvy. When it comes to other nutrients then meat and eggs are superior to veggies and fruit. 6) Fasting. A miracle that is supposed to cure many diseases and is advocated heavily by Jason Fung and many more. To me it seams that when you fast one they then in order to get your calories you have to eat twice the amount the second day. But that means double size portions and that does not look good for blood sugar control. Imagine a postprandials eating a double portion. Same thing with the intermittend fasting. Some people even eat once a day. I can not imagine what are they postprandials eating 3000kcalories in a single meal. [/QUOTE]
