How to start a low-carb diet? -a begginer
I'm over forty, quite tall an rather fit but I've put on a couple of
pounds last winter. Sugar levels turned out too high this year so I've been on pills for a couple of month (diabetes type II). My doc told me to cut eating bread and pasta, but that's it. I am not a much of a meat eater, and I've read some web pages about low carb diet - Im especially interested in loosing some weight and getting rid of the diabetes. Can someone, who actually did loose weight and got rid of the diabetes by low-carb diet, give me some advice and help with starting the diet? I love pasta, I used to eat dumplings and pies, but I could live without meat. I'm not really keen on sweets, cakes etc, but liife without bread, rice and pasta is quite tough for me. OK, I've reduced these kinds of food, but what else? I guess I have to replace those with meat in many forms, yoghurts, buttermilk etc. - but what else? Any websites, good books and personal advice would be mostly appreciated. What to start with? -- Yogi(n) |

Any websites, good books and personal advice would be mostly appreciated. What to start with? I've had type II for over 11 years. Following a low-carb diet has helped me control it, and lose weight, but not get rid of it. Only pills and diet so far. Low-carb diets are usually harder to start than low-fat diets (which will also help you lose weight if you follow them well). However, within a few months, low-carb diets reduce your appetite enough that they become easier to follow than low-fat diets, which don't reduce your appetite. The most successful people at controlling their type II over in newsgroup alt.support.diabetes tend to be those using low-carb diets. However, if you go to that newsgroup, I recommend that you tell your newsreader to ignore any messages crossposted to newsgroup sci.med.cardiology, since the most active kooks almost always crosspost there. Definitely, ignore all posts from a Dr. Chung, unless you have enough experience as a psychiatrist to help him. A few web sites that may help you: TuDiabetes http://www.tudiabetes.org/ All About Diabetes http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/info/diabetes/ I AM DIABETIC WHAT CAN I EAT http://www.digitalbirdcrap.com/diabetes.html alt.support.diabetes http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/ Controlling the Dawn Phenomenon http://www.healthcentral.com/diabete...wn-phenomenon/ Many people claim that they sell a way to cure diabetes. Almost all of these are using a different definition of "cure" than the rest of the world. I've read of just one scientifically verified cure of diabetes, for a person with both type I and a more life-threatening condition. His treatment involved killing his bone marrow with radiation, then giving him a bone marrow transplant from someone else with a slight genetic difference that prevents his immune cells from attacking the beta cells in the pancreas. This treatment requires him to take anti-rejection medicines for the rest of his life - but it did cure his type I. |

LF, with higher carbs does the opposite. *However, within a few months, low-carb diets reduce your appetite enough that they become easier to follow than low-fat diets, which don't reduce your appetite. Actually the effect is seen within days. That's one reason LC works so well. |
