I have been looking into MD,which suggests that you get around 70% of calories from carbs. According to their calculations, to achieve 2000 calories per day would involve eating 350g a day of carbs! That seems like an insane amount, the most I ever dare to eat in one meal is 50, and then I have to walk for 40 mins to counteract the spike (LADA, controlled with diet and exercise only).
How on earth can you eat 350g a day without massive spikes? I get with T2 the theory (although that is debatable) is that a low fat diet reduces insulin resistance, but with LADA or full blown T1 insulin resistance may be part of the picture but typically not a massive issue. So why doesn't eating that amount of carbs skyrocket blood sugar?
