I am increasing calories from carbs and decreasing the equivalent number of calories from fats to make up. The increase in carbs calories will also allow for more of my proteins to come from pulses.Yesterday I bought a delicious wholemeal muesli loaf. I don't fancy losing four years of my life just to eat a lower carb diet.Yes but I do not eat red meat I lost the taste for that a while ago now
If you want to risk your life (not to mention your eyes, feet, kidneys, etc) following a highly conflicted study that most commenters (not just here) have said is complete nonsense, up to you. Even the lowest carb diet was 35% of total calories. That is NOT a low carb diet.I am increasing calories from carbs and decreasing the equivalent number of calories from fats to make up.

So cutting the essential fats and increasing non-essential carbs..good luck with that one..I am increasing calories from carbs and decreasing the equivalent number of calories from fats to make up.

I look forward to seeing how that goes for you.I am increasing calories from carbs and decreasing the equivalent number of calories from fats to make up.

Let's face it you never liked the idea of low carb in the first place so it wasn't that hard to put you off it.I am increasing calories from carbs and decreasing the equivalent number of calories from fats to make up.

That is your choice to do that and people should have respect for that even if they do not agree with it. What I will say is I hope it works for you because that is all that mattersI am increasing calories from carbs and decreasing the equivalent number of calories from fats to make up.

I do not think scaremongering works and that has been said on here before. You can't say people are risking their life and limbs etc just because they are not doing low carb the way you do it because we simply do not know that.. Low carb can lower the risk of complications because it keeps blood glucose levels down but no one ever said it stops complications altogether. Some diabetics for unknown reasons will be more predisposed to them than others whatever they do and thousands will not have any at all. All we can do is the best we can for our self and that is not the same way for everyone and hope it will not be usIf you want to risk your life (not to mention your eyes, feet, kidneys, etc) following a highly conflicted study that most commenters (not just here) have said is complete nonsense, up to you.

I think you miss the point. The 'low carb diet' that was researched was actually high carb! - and that's where the scaremongering comes in, scaring people away from low carb when low carb wasn't even involved.I do not think scaremongering works and that has been said on here before. You can't say people are risking their life and limbs etc just because they are not doing as low carb the way you do it because we simply do not know that..

Yes agreed but I do not think what Tannith is doing is just as the result of the study hasn't he/she been doing the New Castle diet alreadyI agree with you in principle but if people make changes on the strength of studies such as this one then arn't we duty bound to point out the weaknesses and possible biases therein?

I find it really hard to understand how anyone would be taken in by such a silly study which was supposedly against low carb diets but never actually studied anyone on a low carb diet.
And as for losing 4 years of your life due to low carbing…complete and utter rubbish - there are T2s around who have followed low carb for 10 or so years, since back when low carb wasn't as popular as it is now.
As a matter of interest...what will you be having with your muesli loaf? Low fat spread?
