Great information, thanks for this very informative video and info on where to go to get more information

The USDA Food Pyramid--not to mention this video and this woman--is full of shit, . The same old hack about a grain-based, high carb/low fat diet based on faulty science. They follow the party line, give out poor advice that has resulted, since these erroneous recommendations were put in place, in an epidemic of type ll diabetes, obesity and heart disease. Kinda' funny, huh, how these problems weren't nearly so rampant back when Americans ate fewer carbs and more fat?

@erniepond1 Yep, my pleasure. I have slightly weak kidneys, have had abnormal readings of Bun, Creat, Pot, Gfr. So I know what happens when I eat too much protein, fat really goes down great. And yes, fish oil is great.

I don't worry too much over eating fats. I do like to get a good portion of omega3 from fish oil.

Thanks for the advice.

@ERNIEMAC2 You might want to try cutting down on the protein and upping the fat, that is the best diet for me. When you eat a lot of protein it is harder on the kidneys. As you get older it is normal for your internal organs to not work as good. You might want to get a blood test for BUN, CREATININE, and GFR. If your kidneys get overworked it can lead to decreased mental functioning due to build up in your blood, high levels of various byproducts of a high protein diet. Less pro and more fat.

@tickyul

I have some problems with uric acid giving me gout !

I still stick to a high protein, low carbohydrate diet to keep my weight constant.

The biggest problem is from sugars. There is no such thing as fructose being low GI.

This concept arose because of the incorrect definition of Glycemic Index.

I explained this in my video-

GLYCEMIC INDEX- why it does not worK ?

@ERNIEMAC2 I think that some people can get away with being healthy on a fairly high carb diet, as long as they do not go overboard. The niche group that does ok on a high carb diet are the very acitve, very disciplined folks who make very good use of all the carbs they eat. I myself do not do so great on a high protein diet, the kidneys do not seem to handle the protein that great (BUN goes up, Creatinine goes up, Gfr goes down, energy down). I do really good on high fat/moderate pro/low carb.

@ERNIEMAC2 I am not a total ideologue, I think that there are a lot of different way to maintain a healthy diet. I just cannot see how someone with diabetes can eat a lot of carbs and expect to be healthy. I just got done doing about 5 months of very low carb/no carb and it worked great. I switched up to a different diet with more carbs and it has it's plusses and minuses. I see being flexible when it comes to eating a huge asset. High carb/low fat is something I will avoid.
