Editor's low-carb/Atkins based diet (Ended 3/31/10)

"It is hard to get good advice in this Type-2 diabetes matter. Diabetes is a massive "feeder" disease. Eye doctors, skin doctors, feet doctors, kidney doctors and others might go broke if we fixed it. The real problem is that the main way to really fix it is to skinny America up. You probably know how to do that - the choice between that pie and eventual blindness." -John White

Editor's low-carb/Atkins based diet (Ended 3/31/10)

Written by Administrator

Tuesday, 18 August 2009 06:19

Your editor loves beer, brown rice & apricots. Those of you, particularly registered users, who frequent this page know that he began the original, slightly stricter, version of his current "no carb" lifestyle on July 12, 2009 (basically, meat, fish, dairy products, eggs & leafy vegatables and hard liquor). Because on July 11, his fasting bloodsugar was 167. He then weighted 250 lbs. . On beginning that diet, he said that if he reached 240, he would try to put some carbohydrates back in his diet, or at least designate some carbs as "emergency" food, the idea being that if the diet is not so strict, he might stay on it longer.. He reached 240 lbs on August 18. On August 18, his fasting bloodsugar was down to 117. He then added some "emergency" foods.. Even though he knows his bloodsugar will spike the next morning, he added small amounts of red wine, brown rice, apricots, home-grown grapes, and non-peanut nuts (and nothing else) to his no-carb diet. Sparingly, at least til he gets down to something around 200 lbs. Then perhaps he will add beer to this work in progress.. The basic idea is to "lose" weight forever and too strict a diet won't do that.

(The first bloodsugar number is Accu-Chek Compact (the meter used throughout all editor's tests)..the second bloodsugar number is from a recently purchased TrueTrack bloodsugar meter). "Yesterday" generally refers to a deviation from your editor's strict low-carb diet. On November 2, 2009, based on responses to our poll, he added One Touch Ultra. Here is latest posting.
