[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1915567, member: 365308"] I;ve seen the videos and still get their emails. He is an adult onset type 1 promoting a vegan diet containing a ton of fruit and carbs. He is able to do this and remain extremely insulin sensitive if his own reports are to be believed because he is very muscular and a as a type 1 may just naturally be of the 25% of the population who do tolerate carbs very well.... But if a type 2 is someone who is proven to not tolerate carbs well then Cyrus's approach should only work if their diet was hellishly S.A.D beforehand (cutting out processed carbs and sugars is the low hanging fruit for any dietary change (especailly for Cyrus who eats 8 mangoes for lunch or something). I do ont want to believe that this is because he eats low fat and no animal products (not a fun diet in a Northern climate) but nor must I believe it if there is no convincing mechanistic evidence for how eating saturated fat causes insulin resistance other than the physiological effect of becoming keto adapted? Like the OP I'll continue to try to be open minded whilst enjoying the crackling in the meantime. I am worried about insulin resistance but see n o signs of it since I've been eating low carb (in a type 1 an increasing basal rate might show this provided all other things were equal). [/QUOTE]
