what????If you have been fasting you have been zero carbing?
So you dont need exogenous carbs for your brain to work?Yes!
For your brain to function, your body needs to provide a level of glucose to perform.
But as always, how much is enough?
When in ketosis, the glucose necessary comes from your body rather than carbs.
This is something I have seen quoted quite often, as a 'we need carbs' argument, but as is often the case our liver releases glucose freely when needed, unless restrained by Metformin, so it is not a simple need at all, even if it is true for all cases.Thanks for that reply. Forgive me if I have read you wrong. Are you saying you need glucose for your brain to work.
No zero carbs means Zero.what????
do you consider zero carbing to happen in the hours/minutes/seconds between eating? If so, I have been zero carbing, between meals and drink, all my life.
I am pretty sure zero carbing means under 20g of carbs over a 24 hour period.
Well said.
I would also point out that hyperinsulinaemia can also be a condition in its own right.
With T2 it seems to be a chicken and egg situation. Researchers have not yet come up with a definitive cause, and in a lot of cases, medications are to blame, plus wonky hormones that aren't able to do their jobs properly. Stress plays a huge part because of the hormonal response to it. The list goes on.
I did one 24 hour fast, so yes, you can now say "I told you so" about me doing a 24 hour zero carb.No zero carbs means Zero.
20 g of carbs means low carbs.....
Im not saying I told you so. Please dont take it that way. We will have to agree to disagree. Everyone has their opinions as we should. I believe that if I write something on here someone may vehemently disagree with it. I dont actually care or take it personally. I care about the truth of something. That its factual, universal and truthful.I did one 24 hour fast, so yes, you can now say "I told you so" about me doing a 24 hour zero carb.

I am always willing when the facts back it up to change my mind.
I wasnt arguing it was merely a remark and I dont like your unnecessary rudeness, am out of this thread you can pick on someone else!I will keep doing these things.
1. LCHF
2. Fasting.
3. Excercise
As a lifestyle choice....You're right Diabetes is not a choice.
I am not asking you to follow down the same route
Now please pick something out of context from the above to argue with.

But sometimes we can't agree on what the facts are.By definition facts cannot be wrong.

True. But that allows them to blame people for their stupidity and recklessness in becoming obese - stirring up division again. What is never mentioned is the possibility that some people may gain weight more easily than others. In a famine, these people survive. I'm in the group that dies.One fact is, there is no recent research that has come up with a definitive cause of T2. Unless you believe the media, who still think it is obesity.
Once upon a time it was a ‘ fact’ that the world is flat - what is “fact” is always related to and limited by our knowledge base and belief systems which shape how we interpret what we observe / experienceBy definition facts cannot be wrong.
A classic case of taking an observed assosciation between 2 things ( something like 70% of people with T2 diagnosis are overweight or obese on diagnosis) so the 2 things are often assosciated) and then simply (and simplistically) assuming the observed association demostrates a causal relationshipOne fact is, there is no recent research that has come up with a definitive cause of T2. Unless you believe the media, who still think it is obesity.
Some one should of told Francis Crick that. A fact is only a fact till it's proved not to be. And I'm not sure that that is factual either in an absolute sense.By definition facts cannot be wrong.
