Is there any science behind the claim that fat is the enemy (not carbs)?

[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 2277710, member: 256617"] Great that you have co-opted your hubby. I believe that the best way to manage diabetes (and other conditions) is to start with a template e.g. Dr Westman's page 4, the Atkins diet, etc and then test, test and test. The low carb / keto templates all will cover the 80 / 20 rule so it is then easy to measure via a glucose meter what really works in your personal scenario, for energy, vitality, blood sugar control, lipids etc. When you tested porridge, you needed to know the results. I used to be baby sat by a Scottish couple who did my breakfast of Scotch Porridge oats (I can taste the added sugar or was it honey now), I dropped the sugar in adulthood, but this was the last thing I let go of in my low GI days - I compare this to the salmon, egg, nuts and berries I had at midday and there is no comparison. For me yes, garlic, beetroot and celery have either coincidentally worked or it was a mental effect of focusing on the blood pressure metric (I had tested just garlic about a year before with good results): [ATTACH=full]42298[/ATTACH] I could have taken the so called "standard of care" (pills) my Diabetes nurse wanted to take just before lock down and on my call with her on the 1st June. I really do need to root cause this though, I think it is lack of sleep and I am highly strung, in any event I am continuing these 3 cheap ingredients and hand grip exercises and know my method is better than drugs for me. I will also see what cycling HiT does to these numbers. [/QUOTE]
