[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1805376, member: 459333"] I'm also entirely in agreement that exercise isn't needed for diabetes management, but I don't see that that's been suggested in this particular thread. My own take on the subjects of exercise and calories are: Exercise: If you are trying to lose weight then it's a good idea to try to preserve lean mass. Things like a ketogenic diet can help with this, as can resistance exercise. Calories: I don't think that having a diet with a carb:fat ratio of 9:1 is going to have the same results as a diet consisting of the same calories but with a carb:fat ratio of 1:9. All calories are not equal. I don't expect those two different ratios, even at the same calories, to have the same effect on body fat. And particularly in the case of someone with T2, they are not going to have the same effect on overall health. However I do think that, for the same diet, i.e. keeping the macro ratios the same, then if you have 5,000 calories a day of that diet, or 500 calories a day of that diet, you are not going to get the same result. For most people, I'd expect weight gain on the first, and weight loss on the second. So calories are a real variable with real effect, but to overlook what foods are making up those calories is crazy. [/QUOTE]
