The underlying dysfunction drives the hunger and the carb addiction. Hunger is a basic biological drive, you can't ignore it for long. This is why low fat, low calorie diets almost never work in the long run. Add to that the official advice to eat high carb 6 times a day and you end up at 27 stone with diabetes. If you had been told 20 years ago that you had a metabolic problem and could prevent the weight and the diabetes by lowering your carb intake to moderate amounts you might not have ended up where you ended up. I have been on a diet my entire life and still ended up fat and diabetic. I have never been a sugar hound or an overeater but I certainly bought in to the high carb low fat eat lots of fruit and grains. I live in a very rural area and have always cooked well balanced veggie heavy meals at home and rarely did takeout and I dont drink alcohol or sugary drinks. Is diabetes my fault?</p></blockquote><p></p>
