Meat And Insulin Production/diabetes And Also Inflammation

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.
It was Guzzler, not I, who suggested I was eating a low carb diet. I really do not know. Nor does it matter. I am trying to eat lowish calorie so as not to regain the weight I lost doing Newcastle, so as not to put the fat back on my pancreas. As long as I keep that off, that's what my diet is about.But as I have said, you have to lose the excess calories from somewhere and carbs seem to me to be the obvious thing to cut down on because they tend to be high in calories.
 
It is not helpful to make unquantified claims about any food being insulinogenic, and causing inflammation, and other harm without comparing that food with other foods.

In addition, there is a clear, well established relationship between hyperinsulinemia (insulin resistance) and inflammation (links available on request :) )

Of course, many foods provoke insulin release, not just meat, and not just starchy foods - especially in people with insulin resistance.

So here are some links comparing how insulinogenic different foods are:

Edited for typo.
I'm not sure that the C reactive protein and trimetheline N oxide effects were to do with the meat being insulinogenic. I got the impression that these were separate ill effects, inflammatory in their own right. But I am open to correction - I have no way of knowing if the guy is right or not. I don't doubt that lots of foods including meat are also insulinogenic, but I was more interested in the C reactive protein and the trimetheline N oxide inflammatory effects of meat, which are new to me.

You did say in message #19 that you do follow a generally low carb diet did you not.
 
Yes, generally. But on reflection I don't think mine is a truly low carb diet in that even if it did not contain a single gram of carbs its purpose is not to control my BGs by reducing carbs but by reducing calories. The fact that carbs tend to be high in calories and that this results in my diet being fairly low carb also is really just coincidental. Thanks for the article on meat by the way.
 
Oh and just a thought it occurs to me that Queen Elizabeth is in pretty good health for some one her age and a long term low carber and meat eater.
