I follow a generally low carb diet, (perhaps not quite as low as most people on here because I do not worry about below ground veg), because big white carbs and indeed big brown carbs are usually high in calories and I am trying to go low calorie. I shall now keep meat for special occasions and prefer fish, eggs and pulses as sources of protein. I do not propose to go vegan or even veggie as I enjoy meat and animal foods.
A lower carb diet is pretty meaningless lower than what 100 gms 200 gm 300gm 500 gm per day or a 1000 gms could you be more specific please.I follow a generally low carb diet, (perhaps not quite as low as most people on here because I do not worry about below ground veg), because big white carbs and indeed big brown carbs are usually high in calories and I am trying to go low calorie.

I need to inject a lot for white fish, so I suspect it’s quite insulinogenic for people with pancreases...Then I strongly urge you to read the links I posted above, since beans, lentils and some fish are more insulinogenic than red and white meats.
even thought the science behind it is dodgy?I myself believe what he is saying about meat causing inflammation and shall heed his warning.
I am interested in nutrition and sometimes come across an article I think might be of interest to forum members. As inflammation is a major cause of cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis I thought members might be keen to avoid it.I personally am neither vegan nor even vegetarian and never would be - I like meat too much. But having read this, I intend to treat it like chocolate and other things I love, but are bad for me, and save it for high days and holidays. I hadn't heard of meat causing insulin resistance but this doesn't sound too good either. I don't think everything a person says is necessarily wrong, just because he is a vegan, any more than everything any of you say is wrong just because you are low carbers.
Sorry i can't, I don't weigh it. I mostly avoid grains altogether, but as I said don't worry about below ground veggies or pulses. My purpose is to eat a low calorie diet. That happens to turn out to be low carb.A lower carb diet is pretty meaningless lower than what 100 gms 200 gm 300gm 500 gm per day or a 1000 gms could you be more specific please.

Still tells me little about what you define as low carb especially as you say you only count calories and don't know how many carbs you eat also how do you determine how many calories you eat by the way.Sorry i can't, I don't weigh it.

That's probably what most of the WFPB science is based on...A tea urn and thumb screws, well who'd a thunk!
its not the weight of the food, its the carbs that food contains which we count.Sorry i can't, I don't weigh it. I mostly avoid grains altogether, but as I said don't worry about below ground veggies or pulses. My purpose is to eat a low calorie diet. That happens to turn out to be low carb.
I'm not claiming to eat a classic low carb diet such as you probably do. Just pointing out that for me, my lowish cal diet (about 1300 -1400 cals) amounts to a kind of low carb diet because I cut most of my "missing" calories by cutting carbs rather than fats. I cut right down on saturated fats because I believe they are bad for me, but eat plenty of monounsaturated in the form of olive oil on my salad, and avocado.its not the weight of the food, its the carbs that food contains which we count.
how do you know you eat a low carb diet if you have no idea how many carbs you are eating? If I said I have no idea how much fat I ate, but said I ate a low fat diet because i dont eat butter, for example, you would ask me the same question. Below ground veg and pulses can add up to a lot of carbs.
As you appear to be basing your view that your are low carbing on the amount of calories you are consuming, how many calories do you eat,
I was hoping people might know some more about the inflammatory or otherwise properties of meat and perhaps be able to direct me to some evidnce one way or the other.
Results
Expression of NF-κB and TNFα genes were greater; whereas that of TGFβ and IL-6 genes were lower, in the OIR compared to the LIS individuals. The differences were significantly greater after the HC meal, but not after the HP or HF meal. Similar results were obtained for plasma concentrations of TNFα and IL-6.
Conclusions
Our findings indicate that a single HC meal has a distinct adverse effect on immunometabolic responses in the OIR individuals. The cumulative effect of such adverse responses to meals rich in carbohydrate may predispose the OIR individuals to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
does anyone have any evidence that the guy who wrote the article is wrong about meat being inflammatory, other than that he is a vegan? No one has come up with any so far. I was hoping people might know some more about the inflammatory or otherwise properties of meat and perhaps be able to direct me to some evidnce one way or the other.
I repeat: no-one has said he is wrong because he is a vegan. he is wrong because he is wrong, regardless of his diet.other than that he is a vegan?
you either eat a low carb diet, or you dont. Low carb is under 130g of carbohydrates a day maximum. If you dont know how many you are eating, you do not know if you are eating low carb or not.I'm not claiming to eat a classic low carb diet such as you probably do.
