[QUOTE="offshoretinker, post: 260065, member: 34593"] Low carb should really read [i]low carb, high fat[/i] (LCHF) If carbs such as bread, potatoes, rice etc are cut from the diet, then the calorie deficiency has to be made up from somewhere. Increasing protein is not the answer, as blood sugar can rise from the digestion of protein (gluconeogenesis). Running you body on ketones makes a lot of sense and to do that you need to increase your fats. The deficiency, in mine and increasingly in many other peoples' opinion, should be made up of plenty of good quality fat such as oily fish, nuts, cheese, butter, lard, dark chocolate, coconut etc ie all the fats we have been told, to our detriment, for so many years, will kill us stone dead. I'd suggest you start your own research and not just accept the status quo. A good place to start is here: http://www.dietdoctor.com/lchf Have a look at Tom Naughton's site: http://www.fathead-movie.com I'v been eating this way for over a year, and although I am not diabetic, my blood workups HDL/LDL/Triglycerides/ pressure/sugar are spot on. Just going on a low(ish) carb diet will make you really miserable! Eat the stuff nature has provided to taste wonderful! [/QUOTE]
