Neil, what an amazing success story! I am reluctant to say this, because we

have all been indoctrinated re the " dangers " of fat and protein for so many

years, but I am coming to the conclusion that the epidemic of obesity and

diabetes in the U.S. is caused by the high-carbohydrate diet that has been

promoted since the 1970s. I keep reading of diabetics taking all these pills

and even insulin, and yet continuing to gain weight and get sicker and

suffer painful, debilitating complications, and I don't know how to reach

out to them and convince them that the answer lies in our diet. We have

heard the fat-phobic message for so many years that we are all brainwashed,

I fear.

I hope your message brings hope and points the way for your fellow

diabetics.

Hi Neil.

Good work!

Naturally its the carbs. But we all need them as the primary source of energy

for our bodyfunctions.

A balanced, daily food-intake, also in DM, should contain around:

carbs 50 - 60%, preferably " packed " to slow down absorption rate, with a low

glycaemic index.

protein 10 - 15%

fat 30 - 35%

Of the three food types - fats, protein and carbohydrates - carbs are the

only category that we can actually survive without. The brain can run on

ketones if necessary. We don't " need carbohyddrates as the primary source

for our body functions. " And a diet that is 60% carbsand 10% protein could

not be called " balanced. " The lopsided diet you recommend would make good

blood glucose control problematic for those on insulin/pills, and nearly

impossible for those of us managing on diet alone.

Too many carbs, I would be gaining weight and have BG's over the moon.
