[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 1994255, member: 362123"] Some people have been following LCHF for a year or two, some for 10 yrs or more. I know of one person who has been following it for decades. I think the reason why there appears to be a cult like following is simply because it works and people get pretty excited about the turn around in their health by just changing their diet. As apposed to conventional dietary advice for T2's that has a long history of complete failure and progressively making people/s health worse by accumulating all manner of complications, LCHF works on so many levels, people notice all kinds of benefits, not just improvements in BG control and Hba1c and weight loss (If needed). I've been using LCHF for around 8 yrs. Up until then I followed the standard advice and watched my health deteriorate over the years. Ended up overweight, had poor triglyceride numbers, high bg levels. Was on several blood pressure medications. And in general felt terrible. No energy, tired all the time, not exactly enjoyable way to live. I no longer take blood pressure meds, haven't for about 4 yrs. Feel great, energetic, haven't caught a head cold in 8yrs. Have much better Hba1c, (non-diabetic range) and life is enjoyable again. People get pretty excited about that kind of turn around, that they just didn't get while following conventional dietary advice. People also get passionate about it when someone tries to get them to go back to the failed way of eating. What works is what matters to people. Who knew it would be something so simple as just reducing carbs? [/QUOTE]
