Looks great! I've been on super low card/high fat for quite a while. It's not easy (I have one "carb" day a week), but I'm convinced it's a healthiest diet.
-
It is the healthiest. Science is showing it..however the pharmaceutical companies and doctors don't want you to know. ... It is hard. I try to have a cheat day once every 2 weeks.

I also believe in the low carb diet. The thing to keep in mind is that its low carb and not no carb. While there is official amount of carbs to define 'low carb'; it generally around the 50 gram mark. Dr. Atkins recommended 20 grams of healthy carbs when starting in the induction phase. Trying to eliminate all carbs or staying in the 20 range eliminates a lot of foods and is a recipe for disaster as it eliminates many vegetable, fruits and beer.

Cool anecdotal evidence, bro! I never said saturated fats were bad for you, but feel free to assume and make declarative statements. What works for you and your wife diet-wise may not work for others(or it may!) and is certainly not a panacea, as it doesn't account for other issues like smoking or the sedentary lifestyle that most Americans have.
Also, recommended total cholesterol is 200 mg/dL, not 100. -
I'm not a fan of the high fat low carb thing. I don't have any fancy medical facts or jargon to back me up. I just know that eating more fish, more fresh veggies and less high fat junk, less red meat and much much less carbs has me feeling much better and with more energy. Weight is slowly coming off but it is definitely redistributing (with heavy exercise). I think everyone has something that works best for them and that's what they should roll with. Good luck!Firing up the BGE in Covington, GA

"Moderation" is not key when it comes to poisons like sugar. Would you advise smoking cigs in moderation? -
@J-dubya No, they don't. Nice try, though.
Evidence suggests that there is not an ideal percentage of calories from carbohydrate, protein, and fat for all people with diabetes (B); therefore, macronutrient distribution should be based on individualized assessment of current eating patterns, preferences, and metabolic goals. (EThat is the official position statement of the ADA. We advocate that patients follow a diet that they can stick to and we attempt it for 6 months to 1 year prior to trying any medication unless other risk factors are present. We recommend limiting carbohydrates and if they are consumed, getting them from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, rather than refined wheat products and concentrated sweets(which we recommend that at-risk individuals avoid).
Moderation is the only diet that works for people on a wide scale, as these are called "diseases of excess" for a reason. No PCP I know recommends a high carb diet(not knowing what context you mean) and the idea that sugar is "poison" is laughable at best, considering glucose is the only fuel your brain uses. Too much sugar? Sure, it is detrimental, especially if you don't exercise and use the energy you are consuming. Sloth is the sin that is killing us, in combination with Gluttony.
Cool logical fallacy with the cigarette comment.

So you aren't going to comment about the ADA obvious ties to big pharm - it's disgusting and embarrassing. Anyone can see this information.
The ADA's advice has done nothing to slow this epidemic - but that the patient's fault right? Diabetic tics are to blame because of "sloth and gluttony?" Or maybe all your advice is completely wrong and patients aren't to blame. You guys are about 10 years behind mainstream science. Whole grains are good for diabetics?? Let me guess you want them eating trans-fat instead of butter?
Your comment about the brain needing glucose so therefore you need carbs in your diet,tells me you need a high school biolog class, this is basic stuff!
There are cultures around the world that eat no veggies or fruit, just fat and protein. Diabetes is un-detectable, until western culture brings in inexpensive carbs.
Seriously, for a second consider that everything you are doing for patients might be completely wrong, you are like the doctors that doomed Gerorge Washington by draining his blood, or the doctors that testified before congress that cigarettes might be beneficial. -
Dude, you totally need your own blog where you can reach the masses. Limiting this to a BBQ forum is a crime.Not a felon

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.(Catches breath)

I chose not to comment on the ADA's ties to industry, since that is not what we are talking about. We are talking about diet. I never said that you need carbs for glucose, just that your brain depends on glucose for fuel. You can make your own glucose through protein destruction during gluconeogenesis.
If you honestly believe that it is not someone's fault for what they choose to put into their own mouth, well, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lack of reading comprehension, more logical fallacies... BRAVO! This is a perfect troll. I applaud you, good sir. Troll on!

I'm not a doctor, but thanks for the sentiment.
"Sugar" is not bad for you. Too much sugar is, and very little refined sugar should be consumed. That is what I mean when medical providers recommend moderation. What you call a "cheat day" is exactly that. Moderation.
Keep on Interwebbin', I'm not trying to change your mind. Like I said before, what works for someone does not work for others. Some people believe in a Vegan/Vegetarian diet, some people believe in a Mediterranean diet... some do low-carb/Atkins, some do Paleo/Primal. Some eat whatever they want and exercise regularly to burn off the calories wherever they come from. Humans are genetically similar, but not exact copies. Lots of factors contribute to what works for one and not for another.
What I've been trying to say is the diet that works(therefore, the healthiest) is the one that you are going to stick to. Otherwise, it's just another failed attempt and what ever gains you made are reversed. If what you choose to do is working for you, great job and keep it up. I never said you were wrong.
