This post is a critique of the advice I have read and heard by a so called ‘low carb diabetes expert’, Jason Fung. I’m writing this post to alert people to the fallacies, half-truths and potentially harmful advice Jason Fung has given. Fung wrongly demonizes exogenous (injected) insulin Fung trivializes elevated blood sugar levels People …
I was once an obese, drug and insulin dependent diabetic.
Now I am THRIVING and attempting to live life at it’s fullest… on a ‘low carb paleo’ style meal plan and lifestyle.
Omelettes can be a ‘vehicle’ for many meats and vegetables. I urge you again to open your mind to new foods and new food preparations.
I spent 30% of my time with my blood sugars in the 70’s and the remaining 70% of the time with my blood sugars between 80-100 mg/dl.
Blood sugars are THE single most important health number for diabetics, IF you eat like me… mainly fatty meats, leafy green vegetables, eggs, coconut oil and butter…
So, please, now is your golden opportunity to realize that overstretching your rubber band WILL make it break. You, only YOU, have the power to PREVENT the end-result diagnosis of diabetes.
Potatoes, rice, whole grains, legumes… yep, this is high carb alright.
High carb is not dead.. it’s alive and well at Joslin’s.
I won my case against the NC Board of Dietetics and Nutrition!!! Thanks to IJ and all of YOU!
I can say what I want … and I am UNLEASHED! :)
Ten years ago I was an obese, miserable, chronically sick … Big Food, Big Pharma and Medical Industry Cash Cow.
Today … I am in great health, normal weight, normal blood pressure and I am successfully managing my diabetes!
TODAY I THRIVE!!! … and not just survive.
Low carb gurus are running around proclaiming the end of the high carb diet for diabetics.
I will join the party and celebration with balloons and party favors when diabetics are no longer fed a high carb, grain based, glutenous meal plan.
The pot calling the kettle black in my opinion.
You would think the ‘premier diabetes research center’ could come up with it’s own conclusions and it’s own dietary guidelines independent of outside opinions.
I joke about clown diabetes educators (CDEs) all the time. I mock, ridicule as well as aggravate them routinely.
HOWEVER, just know that their buffoonery while worthy of ridicule and mocking … has a VERY serious consequence.
Only researchers on the payroll for Big Food would conclude that doubling glucose while reducing fat and calories is a positive result.
I live very much like a non-diabetic ….
I THRIVE and not ‘just’ survive.
JOIN ME!!! … won’t you? :)
The AADE should be LEADING THE WAY…
Instead they harm millions with it’s policies and the horrible examples they set. Deb Greenwood is just another example of the irresponsible diabetes leadership that has been plaguing the diabetes culture for decades.
Please read this post with an open mind… Chicken Skin Bacon = SO GOOD!!
Honest!! :)
The ‘election’ of “High Carb” Hope Warshaw means one thing … the nutritional battle will be a long term fight.
Ultimately we will prevail … meanwhile millions suffer every day while a relative few profit.
In summing up my diabetic food journals thus far… I have been eating ‘this way’ since 2009. I am in the best fitness of my adult life, I have normal weight, normal blood pressure and normal blood sugars.
Since I began taking the fibers and probiotics on 12/11/2014 my overnight fasting blood sugars have averaged 75 mg/dl.
My only numbers above 80 this year were an 82 and 83 on the 2nd and 3rd of January. :) :)
