[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 2131783, member: 256617"] I would respectfully disagree. The threshold in the low calorie studies tends to be the pre-diabetic range i.e. less than 48 mmol. In order for the "fix" to stay the participant has to continue to eat two thirds the size of the meals they originally did and maintain at least a basic exercise regime due to the drop in basal metabolic rate (these are the guidelines within the Newcastle Diet). 50% of carbs when running at around 800 - 1200 calories would still relatively be low-ish carb by volume of food, that would be a starter for me. On this site those (I can think of 2 persons) who exercise fastidiously above the norm and have been able to cope with higher carb. Yet to see anyone who can eat say eat a starchy carb 50% satiating meal and maintain what the majority would say are normal numbers (for me this around fbg of 5, post prandial rise of circa 1.5 mmol and a non-diabetic HbA1c). 50% by volume low carb items should not be confused with high carb, I used to have a plate that would have loads of broccoli and the like.
