Want to know why we have a diabetes epidemic?

Unfortunately if you offered books with low carb, healthy recipes you'd get only a fraction of the response, because people won't give up their old ways. The sad thing is that we all know the vast array of really good, tasty food that we can eat on LC. I think that's one of it's key features. And with some reasonable substitution, you can still have some of the old comfort food. For example, I take flax flat breads, blind-bake them, apply pizza sauce, cheese, etc, then broil them until the cheese melts. It's certainly not the same as real thin crust pizza, but it is tasty, quick and easy to prepare. My favorite is topping it with arugula. I have a friend who was one of the best athletes in high school. Now in his 50's he's 100lbs+ over weight and morbidly obese. He's had problems with his knees, sleep apnea, and has just been diagnosed with diabetes. When I gently suggested that one important thing to do now is to lose weight, his reply was that it's not so much of a problem now. He's taking drugs and his blood sugar is under control.... Over the years I've tried to get him interested in LC. He even claimed he was doing LC at one point and actually lost maybe 15lbs. But within a few weeks he was telling me how he's figured out he can go off LC for a day, eat whatever he wants, and still lose weight. OF course I warned of the dangers of doing that, but to no avail. Few more weeks, you know what happened. |
