[QUOTE="forge, post: 630555, member: 118650"] Because of our genetic variation. Why are there ranges for different blood markers, some wider than others? Because of our genetic variation. Why do some diets work well for some people but not for others? Same reason. If you really are convinced this is not true, then please come work in the pharmaceutical/clinical trials field and show us where we go wrong in this field where we see a 50% response in a small 20-patient Phase I study and then in a 500-patient Phase III study a drug completely fails. [COLOR=#ff0000] Studies need controls and it is most likely that the controls are a bigger variation than the biological difference within a species. Yes sample sizes are important but you should remember that posters in here are extremely small sized samples who even make opposite claims for example there are some claiming HF for weight loss and T1 s claiming it does not cause weight loss. But all of these are not operating under any controlled conditions so the claims are probably honest but they do not mean much.[/COLOR] You make the claim that you are somehow an expert in this area from your research but quite frankly based on what you have said so could many other people in this thread who have engaged in these diets and performed their own research - and found that for them, LCHF works very well. [COLOR=#ff0000]I don't claim to be an expert but I do take expert advice from my health carer team. If I were an expert I would not need them.[/COLOR] Again, I believe you are largely correct when you say that calories determine weight loss or gain but you are missing the main point of this thread – it is in the T1 forum and people here are largely more concerned with good BS control, stable levels, and reduced risk of hypo (from reduced needs for insulin and unpredictable BS readings). This is really not to do with weight loss at all so the total calorie argument is not a concern for most here. For many T1’s, a high protein diet is a poorer option for this than a HF one.[/QUOTE] [COLOR=#ff0000] I have tried to provide some meaningful comments if you do not like it then tough luck it is the best I have to offer.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
