Kimkins Diet Scam Uncovered On FOX's 'The Morning Show' #4

Ahahahaaaa! She's so busted with that e-mail.

This is why i tell people stop being lazy, do your research and create/tailor a diet that is right for you with all the nutrients your body need. It is stupid for people to think that one universal diet could work for everyone else.

UGH what an awful woman

Low carb diets decrease circulating blood glucose and aid in maintaining healthy/consistant blood sugar levels in these folks. The long term effects of out of control diabetes are a host of chronic ailments that include gangrene, blindness, organ damage and vascular/circulatory problems(infections from), just to name a few. Medical professionals that poo poo PROPERLY BALANCED low carb LIFESTYLES are doing a disservice to a large segment of the public that could benefit from them.

when I reference diabetic in this context I speak of Type I diabetes. Type 1 produces little to no insulin and requires insulin shots to survive. Type II diabetes can usually be managed with diet (low carb works wonders here), excercise, and some medications. type 2 is still producing insulin, but their body's cells have somehow become resistant to absorbing and using it properly, and/or combined with low insulin production all together.

in the non diabetic, the body is capable of producing insulin, so neither the blood glucose or ketones get out of control and are properly balanced and eliminated by the hromone insulin. I'll close my yap now:-)

adding to the ketoacidosis, you have to remember that the type 1 diabetic also has a high circulating blood glocose as well as ketone level. Since they cannot produce insulin, which regulates the blood sugar level to normal, the body is literally starving becuase it cannot convert glucose to energy. It is forced to burn fat instead=ketones built up in the blood stream with all the excess glucose. The blood stream becomes a toxic wasteland of high blood sugar and ketones, poisoning ones self.

this diet is SCARY though. I think low carb diets can be very beneficial if followed properly, but there is no possible way to get the proper nutrition you need out of ANY diet at 500-800 calories. This diet is simply starvation, with a ketogenic engine.

Those not suffering from Type 1 Diabetes, are capable of eliminating ketones (byproduct of fat metabolism once glucose reserves are depleted...i.e low carb diet). Thus the state is called ketosis, when you are burning fat instead of glucose for energy, he metabolic byproduct is ketones, you still have insulin cpabilities becuase you are not type 1 DM, you body can eliminate them, thus no metabolic acidosis occurs. The doc on here is blowing smoke out his arse. Pick up a medical text,youll see

mukwise, i'll chime in as a nurse practitioner and confirm livinlowcarbman is correct. There is a large difference between ketosis and KETOACIDOSIS. The latter being a serious metabolic acid/base imbalance that throws your bood chemistry so severely on the acidic side it can be life threatening. This is a state out of control ketone serum level in a type 1 diabetic (no insulin production capabilities at all).
