I didn't say all type 2,s, I specifically said 60%. According to Prof Taylor it even works for 50% of those who have had it 10 years. I said weight loss, not specifically ND. Any diet will do. It's the weight loss that matters. I don't know much about keto, but if it produces weight loss, it will do. As to low carb, people constantly mix up low carb with low carb high fat. If you just lower your carb intake without replacing the carb calories with fat etc calories, then of course that will work perfectly well too. For decades NHS and doctors in other countries have been advising weight loss to reverse T2 &/or to prevent prediabetes turning to full blown T2. There are articles on this all over the net. It is beyond me why people don't want to even try it. If the worst comes to the worst & it doesn't work at least general health will improve. I could not contemplate just rolling over and letting T2 take hold at least not without putting up a big fight to stop it.
yes any diet that causes weight loss will have the same effect. So why are you so convinced low carb doesn’t?
Low carb requires high(er) fat because it is
not about calories and this is exactly why metabolism and hunger are not an issue. It is not low carb and low calorie which would create even more hunger than low cal alone. They are different and work in different ways.
Yes that’s been the advice, using low calorie for weight loss, and for decades the problem has got worse.
People do try it. And often fail with low calorie. Many in here have also tried, with low carb, and succeeded.
Noone is suggesting you don’t try and should roll over instead and to suggest that we aren’t trying is quite frankly insulting.
You just admitted you don’t know about keto and quite frankly obviously do not understand low carb and have dismissed it despite that lack of knowledge. Those of us trying our very best to help you have lived and researched both methods.
We are
worried about you and your experiments but if after all these posts you still don’t see or consider what we say I fear you never will no matter what is said. I hope you as an individual prove us wrong and you achieve remission without damage to your health for your sake, but that doesn’t make our overall points wrong ie that very low calorie and frequent self OGTT is not the only or best way to reach the same goal of health.
Once again I was drawn into this thread and will attempt to make no further comments in the same vein.
