[QUOTE="rogue-, post: 1731923, member: 270328"] Hi Shell, I'm a type 1 on low carb. I 've done this for over ten years after reading Bernsteins's book. I don't follow him strictly anymore but follow a Paleo/Primal style diet. The stuff on here about gluconeogenesis , while possible, is highly unlikely as you are far more likely to burn carbs:glycolisis ( you still eat carrb on low carb, just not a lot) and fat: ketosis than you would protein. Although gluconegenesis in itself isn't a problem unless you are starving yourself. These three systems are natural processes in the body and are why humans have evolved to at a wide range of food. If you've read Bernstein's book then you'll be aware how much unexpected food sources raise your blood sugar significantly. This is one of the problems in trying to keep your blood sugars level while eating the foods want. For instance eating a reduced amount of rice will more than likely still raise your blood sugar faster than the insulin you have taken.This will make it difficult to avoid the "roller-coaster". If you decide to go down the low carb route then your biggest problem might be cravings esp if you slip off the wagon. But equally if you do stick with it you'll lose the taste for carb rich food and much of it will be too sweet for you. To start, try swapping out all your main dense carbs for alternatives eg Cauliflower rice instead of rice etc... and see how you get on. If you are exercising, you may want to slow down your cardio to the 80/20 approach as intense cardio can be very draining on low carb. I have had very few problems on it and more importantly my triglycerides are low which is ideal for internal heath [/QUOTE]
