Hi! Have you ever tried cleverous 402 diet (do a google search)? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cooworker lost lots of weight with it.

A friend of ours needed to monitor her cat's food to treat diabetes. She had a hard time keeping that cat away from the other cat's food. She began using a MeowSpace and the problem was solved. It's an enclosure that helps separate a pet from food it is not supposed to be eating.

@erniemac2: Uh, duh.....is english your primary language? I really don't know where you draw your conclusions from, I am no troll. I make a well thought out post, and you give a crap reply like a child, pathetic. Don't feel sorry for me, just make sure not to miss the little yellow bus to school.

I am sorry for you ! You don't know what diet you are on or why ! You are just quoting nonsense from this silly video. Are you a nut case or just a silly TROLL ?

@erniepond1: I think you are referring to Ansel Keys? I tried the low fat/high carb diet for a couple of years. I cannot describe properly the constant painful hunger that it caused. My skin looked like HELL. I would fall asleep after a high carb/low fat meal. I bacame a big skeptic of anything that is pushed by the govenment. I saw this Swine Flu hysteria coming from a mile away. Recommend high carbs to someone with a carb metabolism disorder........DOH!  Cheers!

[erniepond1]

You are entirely right.

The problem arose some 40 years ago when some doctor did some faulty animal studies on high fat diets. It was found that mice on a high fat diet died of cardiovascular diseases. BIG DISCOVERY ! So, the medical profession went overboard and "prescribed" low fat, high carbohydrate diet for EVERYONE, including diabetics.

[erniepond1]

Did this low far, high carbohydrate diet lower the incidence of CVD ? On the contrary, the incidence of obesity and related diabetics and CVD has now reached epidemic proportions. So much for medical science carried out by normal medical doctors !

@ernietube: I read that a strict low glycemic diet can actually result in a WORSE blood sugar curve. The smaller insulin response in type 2 diabetics, from a low gi meal, will result in a longer rise in blood sugar, albiet a little lower. cheers!

[tickyul]

In my opinion MOST of the diet recommendations for type 2 diabetics are insane. The majority of diet recommendations are for between 40-55% of the calories from CARBS. To me, that is similar to a doctor recommending to someone with badly arthritic knees, train for a marathon. I think that if a doctor recommends that type of diet, they must buy into government propoganda or want to sell a lot of diabetes medication. On a low carb diet you can have normal blood sugar in weeks if not days.

Glycemic Index is based on faulty science. The basic chemistry they used in determining GI is not correct. Please see-

GLYCEMIC INDEX- why it does not worK ?

Just copy and paste into SEARCH box.

Glycemic Load is based on DIRECT measurement of the glycemic response to a known weight of test food. No calculation or estimation of GI from apparent weight of contained CARBOHYDRATE is needed. Although the GI Researchers can't or don't want to understand this, it is a fact
