Posting this one just makes me feel like ... a crank! AUUUUGH! A diet of BEANS, OATS, and LF DAIRY darn near did me in! What is wrong with these people (aside from the fact that they are NOT DIABETIC)

Just another wrong-headed diet book by non-diabetic publishers who think they're experts . . . this time it's Barbara Quinn and the editors of Prevention Magazine. Go to Amazon & search Books for her name . . . you're gonna love 'er, Linda . . .

Oh, PREVENTION is anything but!!! Look who their advertisers are ...

Girls, There's one missing ingredient to all of this and yes I know there's a ton of Carbohydrates in there.

Can you guess what that is?

I am sorry girls.​

NOPE! What is missing ... ?

I had to go look up that author ... I do NOT UNDERSTAND why anyone with a meter would think that was a good idea.

Aww Linda, you would know. Sharron, would you know? I am goi'n to sit on the fence until I get an correct answer.

 

[Shanny]

Well I hope you brought a cushion and a snack along, Peter, because I dunno what's missing either! But I gotta tell ya, there's a huge dearth of COMMON SENSE! Carbs raise BG - ergo, stop pushing carbs! How hard is that?!

Diets

Linda, when researching diets prescribed for diabetics a few centuries ago, I read about a "potato diet".

There were two schools of thought in the 17'th century. 1. Restrict carbs to prevent high blood sugar levels, and 2. Eat lots of carbs, because the sugar was being spilled with all the urine and it needed to be replaced to restore good health. Guess which school won out? Yep, a high carb diet was strongly advised by many doctors for many years.

Wow -- good one. Potato diet ... well I did that for a time. Still here to tell about it!

 

[weaveroflight]

Exactly! They are not diabetic.

 

[Shanny]

Exactly! They are not diabetic.

Which then begs the question - whatever makes them think they know better than WE know, what is best for us???

Well wile I look at American history on JFK's assassination on the tube. I know what you cannot do Sharron as it's plain to see. Maybe Linda and I can but you have an excuse.

But I gotta tell ya, there's a huge dearth of COMMON SENSE! Carbs raise BG - ergo, stop pushing carbs! How hard is that?!

I see carbs like fuel and I will use it like fuel, But then if you cannot use the fuel then you will have it around you as FAT!!! No matter how much carbs that you avoid.
