FW: Aging Research Article & Low Insulin IGF-1 Extends Life?

[Guest guest]

In view of this:

http://venus.nildram.co.uk/veganmc/insulin.htm

which states the myth of some so-called high GI foods (white pasta for

example) are actually low on the GI index, Kenyon's diet doesn't

make that much sense. This link also lists such previously thought low GI

foods like fish to be high. She eats fish and abstains from pasta.

How does it work?

I eat a diet that keeps my insulin levels low. So, for

example, at breakfast

I have bacon and eggs with tomatoes and avocados. It's bit

like the Atkins

diet. I don't actually know if I eat fewer calories, but I

feel great and I

weigh what I did in high school. I certainly wouldn't want

to be hungry all

the time, but I'm not, I'm never hungry. I tried caloric

restriction just

for two days but I couldn't stand it, being hungry all the

time.

What don't you eat?

I don't eat sweets, bread, pasta, potatoes or rice. I

actually do eat lots

of carbohydrates, just not starchy ones, the ones that turn

into sugar

quickly in your body. I eat lots of vegetables and salads,

and lots of fish

and nuts, cheese, eggs and meat. People are now studying

these low-carb

diets like Atkins and the zone diet scientifically.

How do you know it's doing you any good?

My blood profile is off the scale. Apparently triglycerides

are very good

indicators of your insulin and glucose levels. Anything

below 200

[milligrams per decilitre] is good, and mine is 30! And my

" good "

cholesterol (HDL) is 86 [mg/dl], which is fabulous.
