Where I take issue with the "more detailed analysis " of this - is that it assumes that somehow a high carb diet is either - because you are poor in a developing country , OR cannot really be high carb because junk food has an inherent level of fats as well .
It IGNORES HUGE numbers of women trying to diet and following plans being prepared by for example Diet plans on line .
Women follow these diets, generally speaking men can't be ***** to follow the structures that they put you under.
One of the largest UK diet websites is Dietplan.co.uk which used to be owned by Sainsburys.
I was following one of their plans when I was first diagnosed.
I have just put a typical days example into cronometer
1500 calories carbs are 63% of the days food
carbs 212 of which sugar is 119g Ie 31% of the entire dieting day is PURE SUGAR - sucrose, glucose and fructrose.
I have no idea how much of that would actually appear on the front of the packets as being " sugar" according to the obesity czar. -I'm sure not that much.
The proteins are about 56g so for a woman not too bad 15% of total intake
The fats have been taken down to 22% of total calories 37 g in total ( and this is actually quite a high day example there are a good few which come to 25g or less sometimes even in the teens)
Of that 37g - a woman is getting 8g of saturated fat less than 5% total calories.
She is getting 11 g of poly unsaturated which of which only 1,3g is omega 3 and 8.8 of omega 6 - a far too high ratio
she is getting only10g of mono fats.
Overall it is also severely deficient in proteins, minerals and vitamins,
I WAS ONE OF THOSE MUGS - persuaded that this was healthy - THAT is what I was eating when I was diagnosed with sky high blood sugars and on which I had lost 5 kg that month.
I have just published a detailed analysis of the changes in my blood profiles from 6 months of LCHF compared to 30 YEARS of this rubbish - the changes are astonishing.
Frankly now I have looked at it again, it can only be the fact that these diets are almost impossible to stick to - that is stopping women in the UK dropping like flies- THAT is the result of the current Healthy Eating Guidelines as interpreted by a food chain.
THAT is why we need a seismic shift in public policy pronouncements in the Western world and that is why PURE represents the western world just as much as it does the developing world.
Frankly looking at that diet again I have just made myself feel sick when I realise what harm I was doing to myself - entirely innocently and under the guise of being good.
