Ok , have a question here , is raw brown cane sugar good to eat , cause when i need fast energy source for training and by fast i mean i gotta absorb it in the next 10 min i kinda munch a lot on it
Since I went vegan, several health problems have cleared up...I'm not 100% raw, but definitely my mostly raw vegan diet (very little processed food...vegan included) has absolutely helped my health...I lost 50 lbs (quickly) and allergies and other issues that had plagued me for decades decreased significantly.
my typical day is on my blog - you can find it in my profile.
I try to exercise six days a week, sometimes it's something as easy as one hour of hot yoga (ok, that's not really easy) but it's usually vigorous exercise - such as high intensity weight-training or cycling. During the summer I'll do rides of 2 to 5 hours in length. I sleep on average 7hrs a night.
The truth is anyone eating a SAD is susceptible to metabolic syndrome/insulin-resistance and type II diabetes. Period.
Simply eliminating refined carbs/sugars and processed foods of any kind reduces your risk. Also, vegans are less-likely to smoke and more likely to exercise. Anyone that does those is going to be healthier.
Vegans can't disprove though that low-carb diets are better for diabetes control. They don't even try, they only compare to SAD.
@AlbertaBeefy I agree, I wish they would specify the precise diet the participates in the research study were eating. Also a vegan diet isn't necessarily healthy (fries, ketchup and coke are vegan but not healthy).
@TheCoolVegetarian FYI usually if you can get the full text of the study (not just the abstract) they have the complete methodology in there.
Unfortunately, many (if not most) of the sites that store those articles sell them. =(
It's been a couple weeks since I wrote my comment above, but I seldom say things like that without reading the full methodology - would you like me to see if I have the full study, and send it to you if I do?
@TheCoolVegetarian The study that Jack is referring to in this interview is the AHS-2, also known as the "Adventist Health Study" 2. It follows 96,000 members of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church and compares their health, statistically, to the national average.
Adventists are strongly encouraged not to some, drink alcohol, ingest caffeine and they live a vegetarian and/or vegan diet. This is according to their Church Doctrine.
@AlbertaBeefy BTW, although it appears there could be confounding variables in this (observational) study, this and other studies on all dieters is pretty conclusive that eliminating the refined/processed carbs/sugars and other processed foods from our diet will reduce incidence of diabetes...
@AlbertaBeefy Unfortunately veganism only refers to abstaining from animal products. Many vegan diets constitute of lots of cooked grains, soy products and very little fresh fruits and vegetables...
Type 1 diabetes is a total failure of the pancreas to make any insulin what so ever.
So even if a t 1 eats a great diet, {"good carbs"} the patient must correct with insulin.
Exercise can help reduce the amount of insulin. Many t1's are on insulin pumps that work much like a natural pancreas, pumping small amounts of insulin continuously, insulin is not a bad thing, it's the reason I get to "keep" my child. Please, do not confuse Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. They are two different animals.
@porcelaincougar well...it is the case for both in the sence that a diet high in fats and complex carbs has a drematic effect on the way the body/pancreas deals with sugar/blood suger rates. animal protein is synonyms with fat..
@jammatoonarmy Actually, all properly conducted research shows diets high in fat and low in carbohydrate gives the best blood glucose readings. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or hasn't read any real scientific journals...
@LCHFinCanada ...and what is it 'all properly conducted research shows about diets high in fat' and the long term effects on human health?? fats are good?!!
@LCHFinCanada :) indeed - out of intrest, would you like to share a typical day of your diet? also a typical days activity. im asking as id like to know your energy levels and weather they are sustained all day/how long-ish, due to the nature of both my working life and social activities. thank you :)
@porcelaincougar What I understand is that with type 1 diabetes, the patient can greatly reduce the amount of insulin necessary, and thereby improve their health long-term.
@Geddy2006 Type I diabetics can greatly reduce insulin requirements only by lowering carbohydrate intake. That's been known for a hundred plus years and all research indicates it's still true.
@Geddy2006 Barnard hasn't actually done any scientific clinical research. Also, the PCRM is a vegan-propaganda agency, nothing more.
Barnard has been asked about his successes in lowering patient HbA1c levels - and has admittedly never gotten a patient anywhere near close to the normal HbA1c levels experienced by non-diabetics, or levels of diabetics following Dr. Richard K. Bernstein's diabetes solution (low-carb.)
Anyone that thinks otherwise hasn't checked the facts, sorry.
@LCHFinCanada I should clarify my comment re Barnard. He (Barnard) has been involved in research - but only comparing vegan diets to a SAD diet, or one endorsed by the diabetes or heart foundations - and all diabetics that do any research know the diets promoted by the AHA/ADA are unhealthy for us.
Barnard has done no research comparing healthy low-carb diets to healthy vegan diets - because those that HAVE conclude that the low-carb are healthier.
@Geddy2006 As for cousens... spend a few minutes watching his videos and decide for yourself if you want to believe him.
The truth is that diabetes is incurable. Type II diabetes can be controlled with low-carb diet and possibly medication (though most don't need it if their lifestyle changes sufficiently), but it can't be cured. Type I diabetes can be controlled better with low-carb diets, but still needs insulin as their body simply doesn't produce any.

@AdamantFireheart It's what's called empty calories and has a much better alternative: fresh whole fruit:
- Absorbed into the bloodstream within minutes (minimal energy for digestion is required).
- Very nutritious (#1 source for vitamins, and #2 for minerals after veggies)
- High in carbs (will give you energy)
- Water rich (will keep you hydrated)

As a diabetic I should point something out about this study:
It didn't truly compare vegan/veg to those eating healthy diet that includes meat, it compared them to those eating a SAD (Standard American Diet).
Vegans/Veg will have reduced diabetes rates due to elimination of refined carbs/sugars, not the elimination of meat.
No study, even those done by vegans, has shown meat-eating to be even associated with diabetes. None. Not a one. Point me to some if you can.

Let's be specific, type 2 diabetes will benefit greatly with a vegan diet, and in many cases, be reversed.
This is not the case with type 1 diabetes.
