When severely pushed he listed his diet which turned out to be about 150g carbs, so mich lower than the ADA advised. Admittedly he did pretty well on it but then he had a Personal Trainer and a home gym as well as his insulin.<br /><br />(The ADA used to recommend three meals of 45 - 60g carbs and three snacks of 15 - 30g, but then they were/are sponsored by drug companies, carbohydrate processors and margarine manufacturers.)<br /><br />Even sensible and well controlled Type 1s used to laugh at him. Most of them along with the Type 2s were in the 20 - 50g range and a few would go up to 100g. I can push 100g on occasion but have no doubt this ability would stop if I did it regularly, and I "just have a touch of prediabetes" officially.<br />chris cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-1340036735811808032015-11-18T15:28:58.434+00:002015-11-18T15:28:58.434+00:00Too right play it safe, pay lip service to diabeti...Too right play it safe, pay lip service to diabetics and keep that cash register ringing. We know the flog is a sham outfit and so do countless flog members, but most keep their mouths shut. Even members who have told us how corrupt and dishonest the place is, still support the flog, many on a daily basis.<br /><br />EddieLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-54216315560492664032015-11-18T15:12:23.534+00:002015-11-18T15:12:23.534+00:00150 grams a day low carb?

Knock off 15 grams sqy for milk in tea/coffee and you are left with 45 grams of carbs per meal and in my days on forums I haven't come across many non insulin using true diabetics that can eat that amount of carbs in one sitting without a negative effect on BG levels (Apart from Gezza but then he wasn't diabetic!) Yet again it's just 'Play it safe-Middle of the road' teachings that even the clique would approve of and strongly resembles the Sid Bonkers portion control diet than any low carb diet I know of.<br /><br />Paulpaul1976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-91271427713174841092015-11-18T15:00:59.128+00:002015-11-18T15:00:59.128+00:00The people who do take their health in their own h...The people who do take their health in their own hands and research the facts do realise that this amount of carbohydrate intake for a diabetic is still too high.

The admitting that carbohydrates should be lowered is the step in a right direction. The next logical step - the admitting of healthiness of more fat in a diet. <br />Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.com
