Abstract (provisional)
Current nutritional approaches to metabolism syndrome and type 2
diabetes generally rely on reductions in dietary fat. The success of
such approaches has been limited and therapy more generally relies on
pharmacology. The argument is made that a re-evaluation of the role of
carbohydrate restriction, the historical and intuitive approach to the
problem, may provide an alternative and possibly superior dietary
strategy. The rationale is based on the accepted idea that carbohydrate
restriction improves glycemic control and reduces insulin fluctuations
which are primary targets. Experiments are summarized showing that
carbohydrate-restricted diets are at least as effective for weight loss
as low-fat diets and that substitution of fat for carbohydrate is
generally beneficial for risk of cardiovascular disease. These positive
effects of carbohydrate restriction do not require weight loss. Finally,
the point is re-iterated that carbohydrate restriction improves all of
the features of metabolic syndrome."

Thanks for the post, Susan!

I am so happy for all of you low-carbers that there is some research backup
for your position. But I dread if the day ever comes when my doctor says
"no more meds; go low carb or else!"

If I did do a low-carb regimen, I probably would lose weight, since I
wouldn't be eating enough. My docs wouldn't like that much. And I
wouldn't have the energy to exercise, nor the motivation if all I had to
look forward to was veggies for "treats".

What, you don't like cheese or peanut butter or nuts or jerky, or
yoghurt or ??

That is completely untrue, you know. You'd have all the energy you
wanted for exercise; and you could eat very, very well.

But don't worry, if you ever get fed up with overstimulating your
pancreas, this information is all freely available.

Hi Susan,
thanks for the link
The important points for me :
1) It is a review and it has a lot of references which you could look up if
you want to check things for yourself

2) It is free , so any one can download it .It will take some time to read
it but you will learn a lot.I think we should keep this one for future
use.There was a thread very recently like "A friend asked" and there will be
questions again on the effects of low carb.

3) It clearly states that low carb is effective in diminishing meds and it
gives (of course) references for that. I recently posted a 2004 review but
that was not a free one.

Thanks again
Gys

Not as a steady diet, no (though I haven't tried jerky *lately* I don't have
fond memories of it).

BJ - that was not a flame. I was simply pointing out that your
perception of low carb eating is about 100% wrong.

Well, you asked about snacks, not as a sole source of nutrition.

The other thing is that you can increase your carbs some, in another
way; by eating small amounts as a snack. I often have a couple of
cookies. The ones I like are 5 g carbs each, so two eaten as an
afternoon or evening snack suits me just fine.

YMMV but I now have far *more* energy than when I was on the high carb
diet and my BG and insulin levels were ratchetting all over the place.

You obviously know what you're doing for yourself works and all power
to you. OTOH you may be surprised (by some standards you may already
be considered to be low carbing)
