high milk intake? What kind of diet involves intaking large amounts of milk? If your research does not involve meat why does it have anything to do with this type of low-carb dieting?
“complex carbohydrates, which are often relatively high in fiber, improves carbohydrate metabolism and may lower basal blood glucose”
That is SOOO general, unspecific and theory laden. SOME complex carbs, SOME of which SOMETIMES are SOMEWHAT high in fiber, MAY lower basal blood glucose? Good research results mhm.
I would personally recommend that you not increase the fat in your diet (unless it is a slight increase of unsaturated fats and oils containing omegas such as fish oils or olive oil).
Increasing protein intake does not necessarily mean that you increase fat intake as well. Sure if you eat a whole chicken, you’ll eat a lot of fat, but remove the skin and fat layer and that amount drops substantially and is much healthier.
ontarionutrition “high milk intake?” High milk intake.
“What kind of diet involves intaking large amounts of milk?” Well consider the average American diet and all the countries adopting the westernized diet… The fact that NO milk is needed after development and ALL dairy after maturity is excess, is something else to consider. NO animal suckles after infancy…
“your research” I’m just the messenger.. But the research I conveyed remains unrefuted. u can kick and scream all u want…
Oh, I realize all of this quite well thank you. I think I misunderstood the stance you were holding on the high milk intake diet, I thought you were trying to show a pro-milk point of view, which if you’re not, means we hold the same stance. Although your statement on complex carbohydrates is still rather shady and ambiguous at best. You should be careful using other people’s research as evidence – you don’t know the full story behind it, and conclusions may be skewed from results.
You obviously have no freaking concept of how the Low Carbohydrate LIFESTYLE works biochemically. As long as you are not eating processed meats or meats fed absolute CRAP, which you are probably doing yourself, then your health is FINE.
Fat converts back into glucose when it is needed. All sugars you consume turn into glucose unless they are excreted.
glucose interferes with fat metabolism. Take that away, and no fat-related diseases. In FACT there is a DECREASE of those symptoms.
onatrionutrition:
i would personally reccomend rethinking whatever degree in nutrition you have or go become another one of the thousands of ignorant dieticians out there.
if you cut carbohydrates which is PROVEN to stop the onset of degenerative disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer and weight-gain, the body needs fuel to function. This fuel is FAT.
I suggest you go read Good Calories, Bad Calories and then you may end up giving some accurate advice.
mmm I think you’ve misunderstood me. Did I say anything about carbohydrates? Did I say that eating fat was bad? I just said that you shouldn’t intake a lot of saturated fat, or animal fat in general. Lower fat is healthier than higher fat. What in the world are you reading? If you’re going to criticize my education level, which I’m sure is higher and more respectable than yours, why not learn to read and comprehend first? The diet program I advocate is low-carb, low-fat, high-protein. Try again
If you think reading a single book is going to give you an honest opinion about how your body works biochemically, nutritionally and so on, then you are one of the ignorant people who finally manage to read a book and then go about championing it as their own pure unadulterated factual knowledge. When you get your university education, do your own research, clinical trials and have 10 years of experience in a medicine like I do, then come back and talk to me.
First, University education means nothing these days. “Higher than yours”, “More respectable than yours”: Meaningless. I can be more educated on this subject after reading a few books (Taubes, Eades, Groves), living and researching the lifestyle and science and having a modern understanding of how the body works than ever falling into the realm of “knowledge” that most doctors and dietitians are foolish enough to preach.
Second, how is low-fat going to work on a low-carb diet? Your body needs an energy source and protein can’t act as one. It has less caloric energy overall and is basically the body’s last resort when it is starving and has to break down its own muscle tissue to survive. How exactly is that natural? If I was to eat low-carb and then eat low-fat, I would be miserably unhealthy. The body needs a balance of saturated and unsaturated fat to function properly. Low-fat diets are moronic.
Obviously, however, I must be incorrect to take on a diet and lifestyle that the human race had been following for 99% of its time in existence. I’m aware of how the body works biochemically and nutritionally; It seems you are a little delusional (or perhaps just brainwashed) if you don’t understand the basic science.
Keep on preaching the low fat; Have fun killing people.
Where to begin…Sure, I agree university educations and degrees don’t mean everything, but they do mean something. Lets not forget I also have 10 years experience DIRECTLY in this field working with patients day in and out. So yes, I do see results. And results show that a low-fat diet combined with low-carb diet if done in a SPECIFIC way is actually beneficial for many medical conditions. It’s not a no-fat diet. That is lethal. It is a low-fat, with healthy unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fat
So how do you expect people to lose weight? If you consume a high-protein, high-fiber, low-carb, and low-bad-fat diet you still can obtain all your regular amounts of vitamins and minerals, and you can consume unlimited amounts of lean protein so you can actually eat as many calories as you want, including leafy vegetables. You still consume saturated and unsaturated fat, just lower to help correct medical conditions. You can lose a lot of fat with minimal if any muscle loss.
In fact many of today’s athletes are consuming such a type of diet to get back into shape and shed fat pounds in spring training/training camp etc.
Yes, remember…there was a time when 99% of the human race in its time of existence ate only meat, vegetables, nuts, and fruits that could be gathered or found, so by that measure, we should never eat any bread because that would make us different. You can eat any diet and be successful and “healthy” but to improve health takes a special diet type.
Hahahaha. You’re so backwards. I’m done here.

In my opinion MOST of the diet recommendations for type 2 diabetics are insane. The majority of diet recommendations are for between 40-55% of the calories from CARBS. To me, that is similar to a doctor recommending to someone with badly arthritic knees, train for a marathon. I think that if a doctor recommends that type of diet, they must buy into government propoganda or want to sell a lot of diabetes medication. On a low carb diet you can have normal blood sugar in weeks if not days.
@moonstruckwtf: I agree with you 100%. I tried the low carb/low fat thing, and felt like crap. Just felt kinda sickly and weak, also very irritated. It might have been that I was eating too much protein to fullfull calorie needs. I love low carb, I eat usually less than 20 grams of carb, but I also limit my protein and eat a lot of fat. I feel the best on a high fat diet. cheers!
Excellent advice for any Type 2 such as myself. My HbA1c has reduced from 9.4% to 5.1% by reducing the amont of starchy carbohydrate that I eat – i.e. cereals, bread, potatoes, pasta, pizza etc. After being diabetic for more than nine years, My blood glucose levels now run at non-diabetic levels.
Reading your posts on this subject, you sound like an over educated know nothing. Talk to a lot of successfull low carber’s, they would laugh their heads off at the idea of a low carb, low fat diet, hilarious. Real recipe for feeling like crap. Oh, sorry, you are the expert.
I just love your Videos. You Have one of the Best Video Collections in Youtube. Just love it!.
nah!!!!!!!!!!…just take some drugs and eat whatever you want….the doctors need that freebie trip to Acapulco next winter for shelling out Metformin like their Pez candy.
