I thought this is the vegeterian- vegan part of the forum..![]()
Anyway.. @JenniferG @Brunneria I think Dr Greger is being misquoted regarding that bacon and eggs thing. What you probably mean is a chart from some kind of research paper that showed the mean bmi of people eating different kinds of ways.. You may claim it is a flawed chart or an old chart or misrepresenting in any way but it was still published in a research paper because that's where he got it from.. and @bulkbiker the thing with the egg is just a different nutrition research paper saying just that.. this is what he claims to do on his webpage.. reading nutrition research papers and making videos about them..
I cannot judge how accurate his claims are as I am too lazy to look up all of his references but if you own his book.. at the back of it there are all the papers listed he used to draw his conclusions..
And a last point as this is the vegetarian and vegan part of the forum and some vegan or vegetarian might see this.. Because I would have liked to see this when I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2.. At least for vegans there is a different way than high fat low carb to control your blood glucose.. it is called high carb low fat.. (and this time they mean low fat.. under 10% of your calories)
Excellent! Well done! Please be aware that so long as your body can metabolise fat correctly, it will work, and you will lose weight.I am currently on a low carb, high fat diet and have lost 3 stone in the past three months and lightest I've been in years
Who said anything about 8 sausages? Don't exagerate, please. LCHF does not mean gluttony. I am eating much the same diet I used to, but with reduced carbs, and a slight increase in dairy. I am happy with my diet, and what it does for me.Amazing how different folk are.
I still can't consider 8 sausages are ever going to be a light snack again though, regardless of others being able to wolf them down without limit.
I'll always have to count calories.

You are happy with your diet, but seem to be singularly alone in reporting on it, indeed shouting about it. Both of our diets are valid, and recommended for diabetics, so please stop trying to put others off what could be a beneficial life changer for them, just because you follow a different mantra. Why not start a Mediterranean Diet thread and explain why it works for you.
Well I felt I posted this in the appropriate place, because a friend bought me his book, and I'm interested in the plant based diet. I am just trying to make sense of it. He's vegetarian. I'm currently on a LCHF diet that eats meat. I was trying to gain perspective. How a very insulin resistant person such as myself could eat a plant based diet without having to inject insulin.
Sorry, we hijacked your thread.Well I felt I posted this in the appropriate place, because a friend bought me his book, and I'm interested in the plant based diet.

I think what LC teaches us is that it is more the grains and refined products that are the main culprits, so increased veg is not such an issue. The mantra does also prefer above ground veg not root veg, but that I think is aimed at achieving ketosis (VLC) where daily carb intake needs to be around 20g/dayIncorporating IF is a great idea.
Weight loss, exercise, low carbing and fasting seem to reduce insulin resistance more than other stuff (there are some drugs like Metformin that help too), but adding in higher carbs might just need balancing with more exercise and IF.
Pity we can't get insulin clamping tests in the UK (at least I don't think we can). It would be fascinating to discover how much extra insulin was needed to cope with the extra carbs - since some health issues stem from hyperinsulinaemia rather than just high blood glucose.
Having said that, if insulin resistance is an issue while low carbing, then presumably it would just increase further with the addition of more carbs. Although unprocessed whole veg carbs wouldn't increase it like processed foods.
Sorry folks, am just rambling. will shut up now.![]()

Is ketosis even possible on a HCLF diet? - that was a rhetorical question, cos I don't expect anyone to actually know the answer!![]()
