[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1655986, member: 459333"] Just another thought on the 'LCHF' vs 'Newcastle / weight loss' debate (if that's what you are getting at, I may have misinterpreted!) They aren't necessarily 'competing' ideas. They are possibly two very different tools, and may work very well in combination for some people. Based on my own weight loss campaign and various experiments I've been doing in the recent months, I'm finding that, as an obese (now 'just' overweight after some considerable loss!) Type 2, I don't seem to be able to 'maintain weight' regardless of whether I eat 40g of carbs or 300g carbs a day. Either way, I get high fasting readings, and funnily enough, the *same* high fasting readings. However it seems that after losing a fair bit of weight, those fasting readings, while still too high, have come down. Again, it doesn't seem to matter too much how I pack myself full of maintenance calories, in terms of carb levels. So right now, it seems that weight loss is a very good idea for me. Heck it's a good idea even if you remove diabetes from the equation. I suspect that for a lot of overweight people with Type 2, it's worth trying the fairly rapid weight loss idea (either ND style or LCHF style), and THEN seeing how they get on with a LCHF approach to eating for the rest of their life.
