New Study

This is an interesting new study that compares a (L)ow (C)arb (H)igh (F)at diet and a (H)igh (C)arb (L)ow (F)at diet.

Results: The LCHF diet resulted in significantly greater weight loss than did the HCLF diet (7.8 � 0.4 and 6.4 � 0.4 kg, respectively; P = 0.04). Both groups showed improvements in psychological well-being (P < 0.01 for time), with the greatest effect occurring during the first 2 wk, but there was no significant difference between groups. There were no significant between-group differences in working memory (P = 0.68), but there was a significant time x diet interaction for speed of processing (P = 0.04), so that this measure improved less in the LCHF than in the HCLF diet group.

Conclusions: Both dietary patterns significantly reduced body weight and were associated with improvements in mood. There was some evidence for a smaller improvement in cognitive functioning with the LCHF diet with respect to speed of processing, but further studies are required to determine the replicability of this finding.

Carbs don't make you fat, refined sugar does,as well as corn syrup, etc, and lack of exercise.

Hello!

The book, "The Diabetes Solution" by Richard Bernstein M.D. clarifies that the hormone insulin, which is required for the body's use of glucose (which is broken down carbohydrate primarily), also signals the body to store fat. The hormone insulin, whether produced by the body or injected as in diabetes, also signals the hunger response.

After having Type 1 diabetes for 48 years, I feel like I finally understand and can do something effective about my condition! I've lost over 20 lbs. in 5 months and my blood sugars are definitely improving.

Cheers,
BB
