[QUOTE="Mike Sixx, post: 2191546, member: 516250"] I am vegetarian and I find very difficult to avoid carbs, all vegetarian protein sources are fairly high in carbs. Let's take the basic normal easy protein source a can of bean in tomato sauce: 52g carbs, more than [B][U]my(*)[/U][/B] daily allowance. Even nuts have almost 10% of carbs. My point is I been vegetarian (ovo-lacto) almost 30 years, it did not save me from diabetes. On the contrary it might have contributing factor adding the carb load. Meat has no carbs, lean meat has no fats. There are no high protein source vegetables with no carbs, it is even difficult t find vegan protein sources with low carbs. Not impossible, but very hard. I have learned there is no magic one-for-all solution, the traditional (old) diet guidelines work for some people. I would suggest carefully try different things and measure often to see what is good for you and what is not. * That is about what by body can take, without insulin. [/QUOTE]
