Yes I like that as well

Sugar is a killer

More people did this they would be off Meds like statins

Finally someone! I have been diagnosed with pre T2D and I have succesfully reverted it in less than 2 months, following a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting (OMAD). Lost 15kg already and feeling a lot better! (started from 140kg) Obviously there is a long road before me, but I have finally found a "diet" tthat works! I am also taking part of the "A healthier you" group programme, suggested by my GP and it is very sad to see that they are still demonising fat, when the biggest problem is carbs. I find it very difficult to hold myself back and not start lecturing the lecturer (spent my last 3 months learning everything I could about T2D and LCHF), but I have decided that for my next session I will collate a useful amount of information, with recommended books and youtube material and hand it over to the lecturer privately, after the session. I would be interested to see what others have been experiencing and some suggestions on how to deal with this, as I want to help my fellow "classmates". (without confronting the lecturer mid-class, obviously) And finally, thank you DR. Unwin for all the hard work and for spreading the knowledge!

And she wad overweight. Right?

Not always true, some doctors who has done detailed researched on low carb but is still against it.

@@yellowbird5411 thank you.

1000% Agree took months,, but after 50yrs of stuffing it in my mouth,, it took a while to change course,,, congrats on your story..keep it up.. i find IBday cake, its sooo sweet when we celebrate with someone, but it not my place to start preaching at and event like that.. we all have our own journeys

Physical activity is way more important than exercise. Doing gardening, wood working or walking is far more impactful than exercise.

Not necessary. Glucose doesn't cause diabetes, fructose does. In my opinion.

Very good point!

@@mrmingsun They both do.

Cutting out processed foods just might be enough for many. Sadly, the western diet has already damaged the metabolisms of millions and the only way to repair them is with a severe reduction in carbohydrate and the removal of seed based oils.

@@mrmingsun I listened to a lecture and they said diabetes isn't a sugar problem its a liver and pancreas problem

after changing the diet, i find it took about 4 months of low carb, before the fasting was easier to do,, quite often, I see how I feel in the morning to see if I am hungry,, and generally it not, which we were told to eat up big,,( by the food companies,,,) the morning iam just thirsty.. so I swapped coffee for water my first drink,, 55 I feel say 30,, to feel 18 would probably be hard to explain to the wife,,,thanks for sharing

No protein for lunch? I would add an egg or two 😊

This is the part Unwin is missing in his talk. Starch doesn't break down into sugar, it break down into glucose. Sugar is glucose+fructose. Glycemic load is flawed.

Fiber is not good for you. It's adding more bulk to a narrow, restricted passage. It's like adding more cars to a traffic jam so to move things along. The streets don't expand. Try Dr Paul Mason for more info. Just the first 5 minutes is telling. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rteFgpeBnqeoeWQ.html

Nothing wrong with the sugar in bananas? Depends on the metabolic health of the person who’s eating them.

All carbohydrate - except fiber - turn to sugar. Low carbohydrate nutritional dense vegetables are best . FRUIT is too high in sugar so small amounts with fat are best. 😉👌

Here is our guide to fruit on a low-carb diet on our website. www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/fruits

Fructose goes straight to the liver. Too much of it could make a fatty liver. If some one would still like to consume, better take it in moderation.

People ate carbs back then as well they just had a better overall approach to life. Most kids today are not living outdoors and spend their time locked up on smart devices and games systems. The problem is when a person is 35 years of age and overweight and eating lots of carbs they really have to do drastic things with their diet.

Milk as Lactose OSE those three letters in a word indicate sugar ! He will never control his Diabetes unless he gets off the addiction of a thing called sugar !

@@glennpryce7281 He has no interest in controlling his diabetes, sadly.

You should speak with your gynaecologist first, and if you have what is known as pregnancy induced high blood glucose then speak with an endocrinologist( i suppose the first will point you to the second specialist)...otherwise a balanced diet is an all round good practice and you could be patient for a few months and you can try anything after birth...Always check with your doctors.

Is it safe to eat whole foods during pregnancy, or do I require processed junk food? What do you think your ancestors did for tens of thousands of years?

For humans, there is no known nutritional deficiency for not eating carbohydrates. That is because, if a human eats sufficient animal fats and animal proteins, the body will have all the fatty acids and amino acids needed for the liver to use gluconeogenesis to synthesize all the glucose that the body needs. Discuss the above with your doctor, especially if there is a problem with your liver. A good thing to do is give the book "The Obesity Code" by Dr. Jason Fung, MD, to your doctor. Dr. Fung and his colleagues have a clinic, in Toronto, Canada, and the Intensive Dietary Management Program to reverse diabetes type 2 and reverse obesity. Check out what he advises for pregnant people.

Indeed but both cause harm over time

Saccharide is the Greek word for sugar. A monosaccharide is a sugar that has one molecule. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that humans cannot digest. Except for fiber, humans digest all carbohydrates, sugar, polysaccharides, disaccharides, and starches into 3 monosaccharides: glucose, galactose, and fructose. Disaccharides are saccharides made up of two monosaccharides. The 3 disaccharides, that humans digest, are maltose, lactose, and sucrose. Maltose is made of two glucose molecules. Lactose is made of one glucose molecule and one galactose molecule. Sucrose is made if one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule. So when you ingest sucrose, you are ingesting glucose. When genetically carbohydrate-intolerant people eat too much for their bodies, glucose and fructose are both destructive to the body.

Some beans may be easier to incorporate in a low carb diet than others. You can read more on our website. www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/foods

People that normally say that have trained their body to struggle with fiber hence why they have a hard time dealing with it.

@@bighands69 I wish I trained my body to struggle with fibre 😆 but 6 years of being plant based indeed made me realised that my body does not like plants in the way they are advertise. Please try for 6 years and come back with your experience of plants.

The issue is not carbs the issue is that people have damaged their metabolism to the point that they have developed a system that is in carb dependent but also doing damage at the same time. I have eaten carbs my whole life but always in moderation because the diet was always centered around meat, fish, eggs, nuts, butter, cream and lots of green veg. Poteotes, rice and processed carbs foods were always eat in moderation. The line of my family that ate high carb diets developed lots of health problems the line that ate what I consumed did not.

Ignorance. Fortunately people are learning though - my cousin reversed her diabetes giving up carbs.
