Hi,

I think that his diet wouldn't suit my body. Too high in carbs (he's pushing low GI, and that didn't work for me). I am most comfortable on very low carb.

He also likes polyunsaturated fats. I avoid them, and eat plenty of saturated fat and monounsaturated.

He says unlimited protein portions. I prefer unlimited fat, 'normal' protein quantities.

And his description of how blood glucose, insulin and fat function is a little off (according to my understanding), but that may be a typo...

But for all that, it is a much better, healthier diet that will likely do much more for blood glucose control than the SAD or NHS approved diets... :)

Lots of lovely opportunity for gluconeogenesis for the t1 in that diet!
