newbie and diet success story
Hi there,
I've lurked on the newsgroups for some time, but never posted. My husband and I are both overweight and have just re-evaluated our eating habits and fitness habits in an attempt to change our lifestyles, both for our own sakes and our childrens'. We have decided to give low-carbing a try, and it is working for us quite well thus far. My husband is a type II diabetic and has high blood pressure, and I have hypothyroidism. We're a mess! =) Along with our renewed sense of health, we have created a website which we feel will help us and many others as well. It is at www.weightloss-stories.com. It is a place where people can post their weight loss success stories in order to help motivate and inspire others towards their own successful weight loss and fitness health. It's fully searcheable by gender, pounds lost, dietplan, etc. It's an entirely free site to use, there are no charges for anything, and we aren't selling anything. So please come and post your success stories or 'works in progress' along with your before, during, and after photos and help inspire others, (and us!). I'd really like to compare the success of different plans through reading these various stories, although I am sure it really doesn't come down to the plan so much as the determination of the person following the plan! Take care, I hope you'll visit soon. Leasa. www.weightloss-stories.com |
newbie and diet success story
YOU NEED TO READ THE REPORT that says that low-carb is bad for diabetics because it stresses the kidneys which are already at risk in diabetics!! http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20040717/bob8.asp Another concern focuses on the kidneys, especially in people with diabetes, which itself damages those organs. Proteins contain nitrogen, which the kidneys must remove from the body. So, the extra protein typical of low-carbohydrate diets makes the kidneys work harder than normal. These diets could further damage kidneys already injured by diabetes or some other problem, notes Nathaniel Clark of the National Diabetes Association in Alexandria, Va.

The other side of the coin is that low carb plans are the best for controlling blood sugar which is one of the major goals for diabetics. so it isn't that simple. Atkins with ketosis forbids folks with existing kidney damage but it does absolutely no damage whatsoever to kidneys that are not already damaged. Not even one case in three decades. This can either mean to get the test for kidney damage before starting Atkins, or not doing Atkins, or doing one of the non-ketotic low carb plans. It is easy to suggest a mildly low carb plan like Carbohydrate Addicts Diet or Sugarbusters to avoid encountering any such issue. Also there's the issue that Atkins is not high protein so the entire posting begs to discover the ulterior motive. Why accuse low carb diets of being high portein when they are not? Is it ignorance of what low carb plans actually are, or is there some hidden motive? The problem is poor blood sugar control is a far worse danger to kidneys and high carb plans reduce blood sugar control unless you follow a very strict schedule. |

I think that's exactly it. When I say we are low carbing, I didn't say we
are necessarily doing Atkins, going into ketosis, or doing high-protein. We've simply lowered our carbs. We have increased BOTH our fats (mostly GOOD fats) and our proteins to make up for that. We aren't going low carb enought to go into ketosis. But enought to manage his blood sugar. And believe me, his blood sugar testing is proving the results for us.
