[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1370589, member: 160246"] I try to stay open to diets that have been shown to work over time. Dr. Barnard is promoting a whole foods plant based (WFPB) diet that is high in complex carbohydrates, no added fat allowed, nor animal protein or fat. What I find interesting is that you have to buy his 2008 book or register to take their 21 day kick start program to learn the diet's requirements. Low Carbohydrate Ketogenic Diet (LCKD) researchers Volek and Phinney state that 10% of their study participants do not do well on the LCKD. Unlike most of us here, they tolerate a high (healthly) carbohydrate diet quite well. So it's likely that Barnard's diabetes diet works well for some people. My suggestion would be to try the LCHF diet, LCKD, or vegetarian LCHF diet/LCKD first, then if that doesn't work based on your lab work results going the wrong way, then try Barnard's diet. We each have to base our dietary choices on what works based on glucose testing, lab work, and over all feelings of wellness. :) [/QUOTE]
