"One study is never enough to change a recommendation, but this study is interesting in that it shows that a low-fat diet is no better than a low-carbohydrate diet in preventing type 2 diabetes," said Thomas Halton, lead author of a study in the current issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. "The one diet that did seem to show a

I love how they just now figured that out. Thinking of what most people think is dietarily correct, I would think the low-fat diets too often recommended by doctors, even to diabetic patients, would INCREASE hyperinsulinemia because they recommend an terribly insufficent amount of protein and essential fatty acids, and just enough grains to make those of us who are carb-sensitive crave flour products like CRAZY.

It's going to be a long time until most medical workers and even nutritionists (not to mention epidemiologists and other public health spokespersons) start telling the truth about macronutrients, and it'll be eons after that when most of the public gets a fucking CLUE about them.

(sorry for the rant, I've been back on a decent low-carb regimen for several days and I feel great, but still resentful of people who can eat grains and taters and still be small enough to be treated like human beings :-)

My dad was taking pills as well as two insulin shots per day; he managed to get off of the insulin shots by merely switching to a low-carb diet.

Doctors are/were afraid to recommend them. His doctor admitted that when she thought of a low-carb (ie. Atkins) style diet she could visualize fat globules swimming in his blood. Not true for those who do these types of diets correctly (ie. pepperoni, cheese, and lunchmeats are not healthy staples, even if they are low carb!)

Eeeeshhh...

yup yup

Yup, but that is starting to change. I have had three clients in the last year who were on low carb diets because their m.d. recommended them..

things like that change slowly very very slowly..
