[QUOTE="AliB, post: 93367, member: 16907"] I actually think that the Rosedale Diet makes even more sense. Certainly some of the protocols that Byron Richards suggests are good but Ron Rosedale takes it further into an actual diet and seems to have had tremendous success in treating and in his words actually 'curing' Diabetes. By far the majority of his patients are still following his diet years later and are still well and non-diabetic. It seems then that the low-carb regime is not just a 'pretty face' - yes it logically reduces blood sugar because the carbs that push the blood sugar up are much lower, but there are obviously other processes that are being re-trained too. I am hugely intruiged by Anticarb's experience in the 'Am I taking low-carb too far?' thread where he has found that his appetite appears to have been switched off. Knowing what I now know about Leptin, I would hazard a guess that his 'switches' are starting to work a lot more efficiently and he is not feeling all that hungry at the moment because his body is now using his stored fat as fuel in the way that it should do and is no longer demanding the sugar fix. This is really SO interesting. I have bought the Rosedale Diet book which came this morning and am ploughing my way through it - a lot of sense is coming out of it. If, when I get the the diet pages, I find that there is any deviation to what I am already doing I am going to adapt my diet to fit the protocol. As it is low-carb, medium protein and higher fat then it seem that many of us are already on the right track. One interesting point I have already picked up is that Diabetics should not eat too much protein either otherwise the body then switches to converting the protein into sugar as well. It seems that we have to be careful how we transfer to the low-carb diet because a body used to burning sugar will, if it doesn't have access to it any more, start to break down muscle protein in order to get its sugar fuel. As I understand more I will add anything relevant to the thread. [/QUOTE]
