Taking genetics aside, the single most important factor in why people develope T2 is the western diet imo. I do not think that anyone is advocating that excercise be completely avoided only that it is secondary to dietary change.
That would be my take on it also.
I mention exercising only in preference to fasting, not as an alternative to improved diet. Diet is my main focus. I'd say that I am 'eating to my meter' regarding carbs, but not feeling the need to replace those lost carbs with high fat at the moment, because I'm restricting calories in order to lose weight. Most days I'm probably on less carbs than many people who eat LCHF, I'm just missing the HF bit.
The only one thing where I've noticed I can get better results with exercise than diet is if I need to get my fasting bgs back on track quickly, but the level of exercise that requires is so great that I couldn't sustain it on a daily basis - it's just a quick fix.
