[QUOTE="seadragon, post: 1370568, member: 195124"] This was one of the first videos I saw after being diagnosed with pre diabetes and it seemed to make sense at the time. But I would be unhappy giving up meat etc. He mentions the guy lost 60 pound in weight on the diet so obviously it was a better diet than the guy was previously eating and as per Newcastle study losing a significant amount of weight can reverse diabetes. Had the same guy lost weight by any other means he may still have reversed his diabetes. Dr Barnard mentions the fat in the cells blocking the insulin key but fails to mention that it is glucose that turns quickest to fat in the body - and carbs = glucose. Dietary fat is not automatically fat in the cells - it just shares the name fat. He also tries to say humans are herbivores but the truth is surely that they are omnivores and can eat both. He talks about teeth but he doesn't mention that we don't have 4 stomachs like cows do in order to digest their vegetarian diet nor do we eat our own poo like rabbits do to be able to digest their vegetarian food. Selective facts don't tell the whole story. Humans don't hunt like animals do - we are cleverer and there are studies that say humans caught game not by being quick but by persistence and endurance and following the game til it dropped. It is worth contrasting this talk with the one by Dr Sarah Hallberg - also a TED talk - [MEDIA=youtube]da1vvigy5tQ[/MEDIA] Through Dr Hallberg's talk and Dietdoctor.com I found LCHF and really enjoyed the food. It allowed for effortless weight loss and technically I am no longer even pre diabetic. My lipid profile has also improved. Upshot is that either approach can be successful so it depends whether you are happy being vegetarian or eating low carb high fat. Both can result in weight loss and both can apparently reverse diabetes (although I only have first hand experience of the efficacy of LCHF). Or the third way by very low calorie diets is also successful for some but not something I'd want to do. [/QUOTE]
