Is A LCHF (Low Carb High Fat) Diet Good For Diabetics?

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Inverary, ON

Ah, a topic mined from another discussion 😁

Eat Lower Fat is the current Health Mantra but they fail to tell us "why"

The why is because we eat too much of everything as a society and since Fat packs over double the number of calories found in proteins and carbs (on a gram for gram basis), if we are going to "over eat" they are trying to convince us to overeat "less calories"

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Pitman, NJ

Hi warriors
Diagnosed February 2021, A1C 13.5. 3.5 months later A1C was 4.9. Clinical Remission.

2) 2 hours after eating… read more
