Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Trinkwasser" data-source="post: 78250" data-attributes="member: 11875">The problem comes from the fact that fat is automatically vilified to the extent most research is in high carb diets by default. It's only when carbs are reduced to a sufficiently low level (which varies between individuals) that the metabolism shifts. It's hugely more complex than that of course, most of the population probably has a relative deficiency of Omega 3 vs. Omega 6 which a low fat diet amplifies. Excess fructose appears to increase insulin resistance. Wheat seems to have specific problems over and above gluten intolerance.The Big Picture is that environmental and especially dietary factors are expressing not only diabetes genes but obesity genes and leading to increased levels of other cardiovascular disease too. All this seems to be getting worse under the dietary regime that is supposed to be curing it.I'm with Mark Sisson (and before him Loren Cordain, Weston Price etc.) in going back to look at what we evolved to eat rather than what the Food Industry or the Medical Industry tells us to eat.<a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-primal-carbohydrate-continuum/" target="_blank">http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-prim ... continuum/</a>my BG testing demonstrates that I am notably better off in his "weight loss" zone, and the lipid panels demonstrate that with that level of carbs I turn saturated fats into HDL rather than LDL.Now I KNOW my family has weird and funky genes, so it's very likely others have weird and funky genes which work in a different way. It just appears that a rather larger percentage of the population is carb-intolerant rather than fat-intolerant. Otherwise the current dietary recommendations would be working so well we could all go home.</blockquote>
