[Diabetes-talk] Recently DXED Pre-Diabetic

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Not that low-carb is out, or it doesn't have its merits. I'm referring
more to the Atkins subscribers. We also have to keep in mind that
individual bodies will react and respond to food and exercise
differently. I've never had huge problems controlling glucose levels or
maintaining weight regardless of what type of bread I eat. For many
though, bread is a huge problem. Pasta, which I'm actually not a big fan
of, is what is a kicker for me.

One problem with no-carb diets is that while you will experience rapid
weight loss, what can happen eventually is that you're not so much
losing fat as you're beginning to atrophied, which isn't healthy. But
millions of people do this, not fully understanding the science, and
they are probably just as, if not more, unhealthy as someone eating
carbs.

I disagree that low carb is out. In fact, mainstream endocrinologists
are beginning to think twice before jumping on the ADA complex carb
bandwagon. Read the book Fat Chance. It's on BARD.
