Yet... they probably have undiagnosed metabolic syndrome..I was over weight but not morbidly so i am quite peeved that i got it when a few of my family members are obese and don't have type 2 .
I only eat twice a day, morning and evening, and am never short of energy - I have gone back to work after some years of retirement because I feel so much better. It is quite common for people eating low carb to miss lunch, because they don't feel hungry.I can't go without breakfast i am full time carer for my mum who is in a wheelchair i need energy lol, I will see what my A1c is in August even if its a steady drop that will be good for me . I was happy with the result without medications , so see what happens next .
Blame is an utter waste of time.
Yes, life isn't a zero sum game.
There is no blame or acclaim.
Everything you do has a consequence, and once you understand that and accept those consequences you can move forward.
For a long time I was angry at the guidelines. I purposefully ate the oats, white flour pancakes just with lemon, low fat cherry corner yogurt, punnets of grapes and branded Orange juice fruits etc. No directly added sugar in anything, minimal alcohol. I would take my time around a supermarket and chose dates for example. Within 1 month I was on the road to raging diabetes after making the effort to be healthier and exacerbated the situation by drinking litres of more Orange when the diabetic thirst came in.
I do feel everyone should have a basic knowledge that carbs turn to sugar which should be taught, had I have known this, my logic would have taken me to different choices. I only had to lose 7 kg to turn 134 HbA1c to 41, food knowledge is key. So the fat lie as I see it, producing a default carb environment is a population crime. Strong words but my diet if laid out looked typically healthy, e.g. Brown / basmati rice, home made soda and banana breads, mainly home cooked meals - unfortunately full of carbs.
Same here - low fat, low or no sugar milk and yoghurt, whole meal bread, brown rice and pasta, jacket potatoes, bran flakes for b/fast, 5 portions of fruit a day inc bananas and grapes because these were soooo good for us in fact my diet was so healthy it was a ‘paragon of virtue’ so what went wrong?I feel the same. I was vegetarian and had a lovely plant based diet with lots of whole grains, lentils sweet potatoes etc. And very little dairy. I wasn’t overweight or had any symptoms (or nothing that couldn’t be attributed to something else) and it was a huge shock when diagnosed via a blood test for something else. I did know that carbs turn to glucose but it wasn’t at the forefront of my mind. I thought I was eating the perfect diet. Oh how wrong could I have been. As soon as I went low carb my Hba1c went from 112 to 36 in three months! No looking back now. Just want to protect my children and their health future.
@Charis1213 you seem a bit down and as a full time carer I wonder if you get any time to look after yourself. Be kind to yourself. Best wishes.
